pg Serious Thumper Offline Posts: 5273 In Transit	New Year's Resolution 01/02/15 at 17:05:17 Gents: I realized today that I haven't made a new year's resolution and today is the 2nd. Then it hit me, more miles than last year. Actually, 10K is the goal; although, I don't know if I'll have the time with work. Happy New Year's

MMRanch:

I'm halfway between you and Youzguyz. I'm more than willing to go in either direction. My problem is getting away from work. I oversee two golf courses and when everyone is playing I'm working. April is our busiest month of the year. I usually can get away in the middle of summer or the middle of winter. Undecided

Lots of people want to be a golf pro till they have to start working 6 day weeks, holidays, and weekends. I'll certainly keep up to date on the travel threads, so don't rule me out.

Best regards,

OK, we are halfway through the year and I thought I would see how I'm doing towards my goal. So far I'm at 6,839 for the year. Pretty good and I don't for see any issues keeping me from the 10K marker. I know a few of the members here will bust that pretty easily; although, it is a pretty significant number for me. Shoot that's just a bit over 3,100 miles....

Anyway, happy riding. Smiley

Best regards,

Happy riding to you pgambr. I think I have ridden about 4k miles so far this year which is roughly what I had been averaging per year the previous years. I would like to get about 10k also, but I tend to ride a bit less the months of July and August because it just gets so hot here in Houston. I rode today and got caught in some city traffic and it felt like my legs were going to catch on fire cause the bike gets so hot. Well, I'll just have to ride more when it is cooler.

pg Serious Thumper Offline Posts: 5273 In Transit	Re: New Year's Resolution Reply #8 - 12/22/15 at 09:50:09 Well with a week or so left I put on 11,786 this year, that's a lot more than I thought I was capable of. No goal for next year; although, I still have one 3 or 4K road trip left in me. Maybe Colorado? Best regards,

Well ,

from Lynchburg , Tn. its 1359 miles to Rapid City, South Dakota (BlackHills Area).

If we can do 500 miles a day , thats only two over night stays . I'm thinking campgrounds to save funds .

I'm OK with finding over night spots and telling the Garmin to go find them (with or with-out " avoid InterState option". Wink

)

My first choice is to Ride

Posts: 491 Minnesota Gender:	Re: New Year's Resolution Reply #13 - 12/23/15 at 08:55:21 500 miles a day is a lot even for the most seasoned of riders on cruisers. Sounds a little optimistic. In my 20s I'd do four on an HD dresser and thought that was a good day.
