Bike Year Part 1: The Numbers

With over a half million feet of climbing and at least 6,000 miles of riding, 2006 was a great big year on the bike for me. It was so big, I’m not even sure how much I actually rode…the statistics below are incomplete as I went through a period of nonchalance with my record keeping**. I estimate the totals to be low by at least 15%, but let’s just go with these as the official tally:

**- Hopefully the addition of my MotionBased account will make 2007's numbers more accurate.
