One of my goals for my 29th year is to ride more miles on my bike than I drive by myself in one of our cars.
I started tracking any car trip I take by myself on a piece of paper and logging my biking miles with dailymile.com. I hope to build a widget into the HBadventure sidebar to display this race data a little more prominently. Until that happens, I’ll just have to post periodic updates. For the month of September I came out ahead on biking miles with a score of 131 miles ridden and 95 miles driven.
I was way out in front of the miles driven until I accidentally left my cell phone in Adam’s car after a day of surfing, and had to drive to Renton to pick it up again. I guess these are the challenges I’ll face in the next year, but I’m feeling confident I can pull it off after this first month’s tally. Of course, the cold, dark, and wet season is starting to approach. My hope is that my biking gear will keep me cruising right along through it.
