For the reason of “Just For The Helluvit” I added up my annual bike mileage totals beginning from January 1, 2007 — when I first vowed to log every ride — to last night’s commute home from work, and the number turned out to be another distance milestone crossed: 2007: 3,102.5000 2008: 6,608.1700 2009: 6,741.6930 …

I should be all happy about that, but somewhat frustratingly I’ve actually biked less mileage than I’d accumulated …
