Passed 5000
I got to 5005 miles for the year, 250 miles ahead of last year's schedule, and despite the loss of 2 weeks of prime time riding in July when I sprained a calf (running, not cycling). 30 miles today at a blistering 13.5 mph! Today I was double teamed with an attack by clever (approaching from both sides) Australian Shepherds, and resorted to my rarely used Halt! pepper spray. Usually dogs will tone down their response on the next encounter after the spray is used. Fingers crossed.
