621 miles to go

Beginning in February 2009, to today, I am 621 miles short of 10,000 cycling miles in 5 years.

I have four months to do it--to reach 10,000 miles.  About 150 miles/month.  Not the easiest thing to do on a road trip, but Vicky and I have outlined several bike rides so I can accomplish this goal.  It is one I want, and one she wants for me. 

Never, in my wildest imagination, as a professor of psychology at Illinois State University, did I ever think I could, in my 60s, ride my bike 10,000 miles in five years.  That's what one should do in their retirement--something they could not imagine in their wildest imagination.  Cross your fingers for me.
