1000 miles

[nosrednayduj]

I rode my thousandth mile for the year yesterday. This is quite late for me – usually it is in June. On the other hand I spent three prime bicycling weeks in California. I am spending more time working, and more of that time is scheduled so that when I do bicycle during the day it is sometimes limited to 45 minutes or even less, and then I only go 5-7 miles, and then I don't do something about riding more later or doing other exercise for the day. (I'm managing not to gain weight though.)

I forgot that this milestone was coming up, so I didn't stop and take a picture. On the other hand, my new odometer is weird because it has two small numbers on the far right, and the rest of the numbers are larger. This makes sense when it's measuring time with seconds on the right, or numbers with hundredths on the right, but it doesn't make a lot of sense when it is a simple integer; it just looks weird. Sadly, it also doesn't measure tenths for the odometer, so it's hard to know when you're going to roll over – you have a whole mile of uncertainty. But, it is what was available at the time my old one broke, since my old one seems not to be made anymore. (Story of my life – anything good goes out of style.)

Congrats on 1000! And I'm with you on anything good getting discontinued.
