2008 Wrap-up
Although I've moved most of my basic ride information over to Tex.Ville.Rides, I'll do a bit of an '08 wrap-up here on this site. This "date"is entirely due to mycyclinglog.com, a site I forget to use pretty often, but then furiously enter a bunch of rides just so it does the numbers. My Excel total and mycyclinglog total are off by 38 miles, but I definitely will take my Excel numbers as the more correct, so I'll have to dump those 38 into some general, nondescript category.
Bikes
LHT- 1192 miles- 77 trips
Bleriot- 741m- 28t
TrekSS- 491m- 27t
Crosscheck- 183m- 12t
Blueridge- 169m- 7t
Caffeine 29er- 106m- 6t
925fixie- 96m- 15t
RB-1- 64m- 2t
Monocog- 60m- 5t
Rocket- 47m- 2t
38m of mystery
Grand total of (mycyclinglog) 3237 miles. And again, the Excel spreadsheet adds 38 miles to that for a total of 3275.

- The LHT won the award again, also being my top ride last year, and my commuting miles outtotalled by road miles by 61.
- The longest ride for 2008 was 62 miles on July 20th. That was around when our computer got "eaten", so there's no blog entry, which is fine. It was a nice ramble from Louisville to Frankfort, with the fam picking me up there and then to our friend Pam's house for cards.
- I did better with some longer rides, adding another 60m, 57m, 53m, 47,, 42m and a 41m mixed-terrain ride. A full-on century is certainly a goal for 2009, and getting some ride partners will/would certainly help.
- I didn't buy a bike this year (I think).
- The RB-1 has seen much more significant mileage as surrogate for LithoDale. I think '09 will be the year he actually buys a bike that's within 3 sizes of his own tall-ass body.
- I did better in '08 doing mixed-terrain rides, with 12 of them, including a nice effort in Casey Co. for the first time.
- Really it was a solid year on the bike. If I can capture some miles in the lost tennis spring, 2009 will be even better, and let's hope the RCCS has some influence with that too.
