I had another safe and productive month on the bike. I rode 14 times in 30 days, for a total of 480.2 miles. That gives me 5,807 miles for the year, which is only 398.9 miles from my goal of 6,205.9. I'm on track for my best mileage year ever (out of 36). I need only 12 more rides of 34.3 miles (in 31 days) to break the record, which I set in 1990 at the age of 33. Piece o' cake.
Addendum: Conditions today were quite nice. The wind chill was 51º when I left my house and 59º when I returned. The sky was clear blue. The only thing I would change is the wind, which was stiff (11 to 13 miles per hour) out of the northwest. I listened to Rush Limbaugh for about two hours and then switched to music.
