2009: (Nearly) final mileage check

I'll have about four more days on the bike in what should be a crazy end to 2009. With those rides, I'll fall far short of my goal for the year (3,500; too ambitious, clearly) but still hit a respectable 2,700 miles. Still, it was about 600 miles more than last year.

Best single day was a 70-miler (a metric century) in August. In 2010 I will hit 100 miles in a day.

Worst single day was getting hit by a van (just lightly, but still scary) in, oh, I think it was June or July.

Hottest single day came in late July, when it was nearly 110 but in one stretch of North Portland my computer topped out at more than 120.

Coldest single day came last week when it was a bone numbing 12. Thankfully, it was a dry cold.

Next year, I'll aim for 3,000 as my goal.
