2021 mileage: 5906.4
After taking yesterday off because of a very busy schedule on the holiday, I was happy to get back to it today. I've been riding with one on the possible goal of 6000 miles for the year for some time now, but didn't want to admit to it and pressure (and perhaps jinx) myself. I entered Christmas with about 130 miles to go, and wasn't sure I could make it. I'm still not sure, but as I lay in bed, unable to sleep, around 1:30 this morning, I decided to commit myself to the attempt.
I got off to a good start this morning, beginning my ride just before 6:30, and watching the 1971 movie production of the outstanding musical Fiddler on the Roof. This gave me a ride of 39.5 miles (in just a few seconds over 3 hours even), and brought my average miles per day needed for the remainder of the year down to 18.72, so I'm encouraged. If I can do another big ride tomorrow, that'll really bring the average down to something quite reasonable.
