Six Zero Zero.
This morning when I pulled into work my odometer read exactly 600 miles beyond its mileage
on the date I bought it. I'm pretty excited about this, because we've put 100 miles on
it since last Friday ("Thousand Mile Plan: At 500 Today", 7/5/2013).
(And yes, we've done it in less than one week.) Of course, the Fourth of July holiday
gave us a nice advantage we wouldn't ordinarily have, plus I've ridden the bike to and from
work twice this week so far — normally I'd only do it on a Friday. The new reading puts
us squarely at 400 miles to go between now and mid-October. If I slice-and-dice it this way,
we have 40 10-mile rides to do over three months. Even if we only do 20 of these (or somehow
just hit 200 miles) over an entire month, we've still hit our goal by mid-September.
