That's a good amount of miles. My fatherinlaw is putting up about 6000 this year as well. You must get out a lot. What's keeping my miles down is the not lack of desire, muscle or wind, its time. Two young girls, a wife and a boss.

I mostly mtn bike and don't have (or really can have, I think) a cyclocomputer on there. I do get out about 3-6 times a week, (season permitting) and for the last month, one road ride a week.

Bruno, long time no hear. That's some crazy mileage!! Way to go dude! I've been trying so hard to get out but I just need to bite the bullet and get a light - my budy has already cancelled rides twice!

Even with the light, riding in the dark is tough. I seem to get blinded quite easily by School Bus headlights that shine at eye level. Hopefully the roads you ride on are not too busy.

no big thing as i am single (well, have a girlfriend in NYC, but i take my bike down there and ride while she's in classes) and i commute everyday. so the miles add up.

anyway, i'm pickin' up my new IF titanium

club racer on tuesday evening! i ain't that great at postin' pics and all that, but i'll try my hardest. my girlfriend knows how to do it though.

I looked for a titanium club racer on their site and all I saw was a steel one. Nice looking bikes though, I'd love to see what you're getting. With whatever you get, wish you luck, may it serve you well!
