I almost hate commuting here now. Most times it's not worth the time it takes me to gear up for a 15-20 ride through town for just a tad over 3 miles....ONE WAY.

And it's like the old people here have discovered that it's warm outside again (actually hot). The last couple of weeks there's been more old people out driving and each day it seems I have a near mishap....riding to work isn't fun. Riding home at night is better.

Speaking of riding, I did ride a little the other day on a couple of roads I used to think were fun. Keywords: "used to". After freaking out over all the technical stuff at the rally, it's damn boring to ride here. I really need to search for some new roads around here. Or make a day trip into Arkansas to ride the mountains that are there. . .

Same here. Anyone that knows me knows I ain't entering no mileage contest. Least miles contest I might win.

Thats it? On that beautiful new UC? Damn brutha...you must be on the same kind of schedule that I am. I've got I think 450 miles this year. Sad I know.

Check that, I think I'm at 500 even. Still sad.

Yeah, my commute is 4 miles, so I dont even bother. Does more harm than good.

I'm at about 3500mi but I didn't take a picture at the beginning of the year so I can't play. Next year

Yep... but after my July trip to see Trip/Drewpy/Jeeps. That is 1200 miles alone. So when I get back from that I'll need my 3k service done.

I think mine is 2 miles to my reporting station where I have a work truck. Now I can ride to my farther spot which is like 12 miles but once gas gets over $3 like it is now, why burn mine.

The peeps with longer commutes to work definately win in this dept.
