Yesterday, by coincidence rather than planning, my lifetime
bicycling odometer hit exactly 3,000 miles, which I believe
is roughly the distance across the USA, coast to coast.

I made it a little easier by doing my riding in metropolitcan
San Diego, thus avoiding the little hills called the Rocky
Mountains, and the deserts, and so on.

I have a friend who really DID ride across America in less than a month.

But, considering I hadn't ridden a bike in a couple of decades,
I'll pleased with my achievement.
