It Ain't Braggin' If'n It's True
Forgot to mention that I went on a little 16-mile ride with my best girl, BalticTiger, and twin sister, SuperNana, on December 31st. The temps were in the low 20s and the winds were in the high 20s, but we felt the pain... and did it anyway!
Now you may ask, "Howard's just stupid, so that doesn't surprise me a bit, but why did BalticTiger--who vowed never to ride in temps lower than her age--and SuperNana--who's never found a layer that she didn't like--bundle up and suffer along with Howard?"
The answer is simple: To show their support while he finished up his mileage goal for 2007...
10,000 miles.
Yup, Howard rode 10K in 2007. On. His. Bike.
Here are some pics from that fretful day...

To set a goal of 10,000 miles then not have it completed by November sounds like poor planning on Howard’s part. But congratulations anyway, and Happy New Year.
See, I am still lurking around.

Yo Howard,
Great job! Even with all that frozen tundra up there, you made it! That's a lot of pedal strokes.

Congratulations! 10,000 miles! Wow.
My best was 10,000 km two years ago.
Wow -- that's a huge accomplishment. Congrats!
Hey Howardman,
That's...... a lot of freakin' miles. Congratulations! Hope you have many more safe and happy miles in the future.

Nice going. I am not worthy... I am definitely going to hit 4,000 in 2008. I'll let you know on Dec. 31 whether I meant miles or kilometers!
