568 is my November total, my highest monthly mileage to date, beating the old record by some 80 miles. I'm even more impressed with those folks who do 700-800 miles a month. I was too lazy to go out today in the cold and wet, but I'm pretty dang satisfied. I also topped 3,000 miles for the year. I'm pretty dang pleased with that too. It makes me excited for 2009 that I can do even more miles, not just b/c it's more miles but b/c it is so great to be out on the open road.
Peace to all and hope those injured mend soon enough to get out on the road themselves.

Wow, that's a lot of miles! Congrats on hitting 3,000; I should hit 3k soon myself. Actually I've been watching your mileage as we've both been pushing 3k at the same time. I watched yours go up way faster than mine. Great job keeping up the rides even in poor conditions. I've ridden some, but much less.
You had to move, so I count that as a big detractor. I'm wondering about your thoughts comparing the 2 locations as far as bikes go. Bloomington looked awfully primo.
Agreed, Bloomington really was excellent for riding. This area is definitely less bike-friendly, but I still think/hope S24Os will be doable. The main struggle would be getting out of this valley with a loaded bike. Also, there are fewer state parks/forests nearby, but the closest one is even closer (~6 miles away).
So, there are some good opportunities here. I'll just have to work a little harder, and my goal of doing a century will be a lot more difficult in the mountains.
Good work. I enjoyed looking at the photos.
