Incidentally, my km total since January 9, 2011 hit 7 969 km as of yesterday. There is no way I am going to hit my goal of 10 000km this year due to the change in my daily travel patterns - short of winning a lottery that is and if that happens, I will destroy my cyclocross bike by riding in all sorts of crud and crack the 10 000 km total just for you guys (heh) and then run out and get a new titanium True North Cycles cross bike! However, being real for a minute, if I get cracking (so to speak) on my around town stuff, I might hit 9 000 km. Odds are, I will be hard pressed to match this total next year, but who knows?
