I am the same as you, keeping of the mileage is more for comparison than an end all for riding. I am going out here in a week for my first experience on rail to trails riding. I sure am looking forward to it. A ride that I don't spend half my time watching my rear view mirror for the ass-hat that is about to take me out.<br />I love the colors on that turtle. Hoping to see some turtles on my trip through Missouri. We don't have amphibians here except the occasional grass snake. And frogs in the park. <br />Good on you for getting some conditioning going this spring....makes the summer more fun.<br />Jim Jim Bangshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618333090634257257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099172522048117068.post-25302754389092051542014-06-03T22:01:03.425-04:002014-06-03T22:01:03.425-04:00TJ,

I actually used to be a "Professional Musician" inasmuch as I occasionally got paid (though the bar tab was almost always more than any money that I made that night).<br />300 miles per month isn't that bad. I could see pulling that off regularly if I was focused more on road riding. If that was the case I wouldn't be doing the distance on my huge & heavy, 2.4 in. wide tire mountain bike. This month is going to be all about riding the dirt a bunch more. I'm looking forward to it.<br /><br />Steve ZSteve Z (swampboy62)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03594045912519415678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099172522048117068.post-3335794287226208312014-06-03T21:56:33.427-04:002014-06-03T21:56:33.427-04:00Dan,

I've been watching that building decay for 40 years and it finally gave it up.<br />Saw that your streak is still going strong. Keep on riding!!<br /><br />Steve ZSteve Z (swampboy62)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03594045912519415678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099172522048117068.post-563560283389259982014-06-03T20:45:51.063-04:002014-06-03T20:45:51.063-04:00Hey!

I was in a little avant-garde jazz ensemble that was more avant that garde. <br /><br />So..you are setting the bar at 300 miles per month? (cue evil laughter) just kidding. 300 miles on a mountain bike and on the trails is like dog years compared to the road. Not that I have been doing 300 miles a month my ownself...more like thirty.<br /><br />That might explain why my Walmart boxer-briefs are so snug of late...<br /><br />maybe I'll do something about that...<br /><br />THANKS SWAMPY! A wake-up call...<br /><br />tjTim Joe Comstockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05351911607475089105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099172522048117068.post-65044883818034727152014-06-03T17:19:10.069-04:002014-06-03T17:19:10.069-04:00WOW!!!
