Happy New Year, everyone.

Weather looks like crap for Sunday, so Monday is the likely day to see this done.
Unlike Mr. Carson, I’ll likely be logging miles toward this goal while europe is popping champagne on the 31st.

Despite the pineapple express, I eked out 91 miles this week. Off next week to the American Geophysical Union conference in San Francisco (I haven’t decided whether to try to bring the foldable). Barring injury, mechanical or climate catastrophe, I will finish this goal on the 21st.
Carson slips into the lead… I may have the advantage, since I’m not going out of town at all during the month.

After a break yesterday, I took the long way to and from work. I felt like a snot rocket, but really needed the riding time.
44 for the day, 306 for the month, 4,810 for the year.
I have four days next week when I can ride, then I’m off a week at the American Geophysical Union fall meeting. It’s gonna be close.
Odd that we ended the month exactly 100 miles apart (I rounded, but let’s not get into that).

The second half of the month went well, too. On paper, this goal looks attainable if I can muster 4 commutes/week the first half of the month, a week off for obligatory holiday festivities on the ice planet Thoth, then 3 commutes/week through December.
As the days have been getting progressively darker and colder, I’ve had to remember how to ride in crappy weather. I’ve been taking advantage of my employer’s “flex time” to minimize the night riding. Reverting back to standard time this weekend will force the issue, though.
