I started riding in 1965 but didn't start a mileage log until 2008, when one day I got to wondering exactly how many miles I actually rode in a year.
After this morning's ride I noticed I had passed the quarter million mile mark since I started keeping track in 2008 with 250,207 to be exact.
Wish I had started keeping track in 1965.
I also started keeping track of days ridden when I retired in mid 2013 and as of the end Dec 31, 2021 I have averaged 300 days of riding a year.
As I near 72 years old and the inevitable end of my riding career one day, I can look back fondly at all the great bikes, all the miles, all the cool places, and all the wonderful people that the journey has provided.
Dang it's been fun.
