"Travel is a vanishing act. You move through landscapes and other people's lives much like a ghost, touching some things and being touched by others. And on a few occasions you just sit back and take it all in, maybe even learn something."

Just surpassed 3000 miles on the road bike
3000...Not bad considering that I've only had the bike for 2 years. Also, that I have two other bikes that I ride, one of which logs a lot of the commuting miles. With the Surly commuter and Cannondale road bike combined, I am now at 8,200 miles. That's like going for NYC to San Francisco, back to NYC, and then another 8/10 of the way across the USA (we'll say Denver, 'cause I like it there). Plus, I've saved at least 2 tons of CO2 from being emitted from my car. Go by bike! It's more healthy, more environmentally friendly, and simply more fun/exciting.
I can't believe you have logged 8,200 miles. That is close to 1/3 of the miles total I have on my car. Congrats on the 3000 mark on the Cannondale. In a few weeks I'll help log some miles on your 29er.
ReplyDeleteCongrats man.
