You'll love those GP 4000s. I've been using them for the last 2-3 years and they're the best road clincher ever. Since my wife and I switched to these we only had one flat between the two of us and that was by hitting a rather large rock. We must have ridden at least 8000-10000 miles using this brand. Keep your inflations up and you should get 2500+ miles out of them if you don't hit anything.

Got out last Friday for a ride in the woods after work. I rode for about 1:15 I think. I had a couple of hours Sunday morning to get back out, 1:50 or so of riding. It was a little nippy Sunday morning.

I hope to get more than 2500, I got about 2200 on the stock non-reinforced Michelins that came with my bike. They definitely feel smoother than my last ones.

Got out for the regular 28 mile road ride on sunday...and that was after camping on sat night....not such an easy feat for this 40 y.o. lol.
Then got out this morning in the woods before work for about 1:15. Great ride in some nice cool weather. Planning on getting back in the woods tomorrow morning.

Got out for an hour in the woods after work today. Fairly mellow pace overall, but I did push it a bit in some sections..

Just got back from being out again this morning in the woods with 2 buddies. Great riding weather. We rode pretty hard for a good hour.....and now I must head to work. I would have much rather spent another hour or 2 in the woods!!!

Welcome back Bruno....Been a while...was wondering where you've been.
9000 is a nice number. I think I'll have about 3000 on the road and I don't really know how many miles in the woods. I'll have to think about it and try to come up with a decent approximation of my woods mileage.

Cape Cod Dunes Bike trail
I road the cape cod provincetown dunes bike trail this weekend. Abot 8 miles of paved trails that undualte up and down a sand dunes and beach forests just a mile outside of province town.
UnBelievaly good. They were so much fun ki9nd of like riding a roller coaster. I did it about ten years ago in november and it was even better cause their were fewer people in my way. Really an unusual treat I highly reccomend it.

another Century ride with my wife on Saturday. The Seacost Century in Hampton Beach NH. Finished in just over 6 hours in foggy/overcast skys. Nice leisurely ride on the coast and incredibly flat too. A bid of a headwinbd on the last 10-20 miles though.
Sunday we thought about doing the century or at least the metric Century option again since this event is held both days but instead we joinded a bunch of others and did a nice ride from Hampton Beach to Newburyport Mass for breakfast then on to the Plum island Bird Sanctuary and back to Hampton beach. Just about 35 miles or so.

One of my favorite. I normally do the dunes Herrring Beach, P-town and then back to the car.
Got in 32.5 miles today at 16.5 mph. Perfect day for a ride!

65 Minutes of hard riding in the woods this morning. Had to get to work somewhat early for me...so couldn't make it longer. It's also going to be hard to get out before work soon....its pretty dark these days at 7...and that's before we "fall backward" next month.

9000 miles, wow are you a racer? Do you ride year round or just do a lot of miles in the good months? I don't think I've ever broken 6000 miles / year and that was about 20 years ago when I was young and lived in a condo. Every year I it seems it's more difficult to find the time to ride. The last few years I was racing cars in autocross events on weekends so that took away even more time from riding on the weekends when I usually put in the big miles. This year I quit car racing so I could ride more and lose the weight I'd gained too. This year I'll probably do between 3500-4500 miles but next year I'd like to do at least 5000

Yesterday my alarm went off at 6:15 but I couldn't move slept till 9 so no road ride yesterday morning.. But today was a good 60 mins in the woods for our regular Fri morning ride. A bit wet so we stayed off the slick rocks and did a hill climb ride. Definitely hitting the road tomorrow weather is supposed to be perfect this weekend.

Beautiful day here......a bit breezy....have to take the daughter to a b-day party later, so couldn't do a long ride...just did my regular road ride. 28 miles, 1900' of climbing. 16.8 mph today, I was pretty psyched with that, considering the strong winds... I'm pooped. My avg. heart rate was 161, (over 100 mins) maxed at 181.

Wednesday, had some work to do from home, but was too nice out not to take advantage off. So, got in a 15 mile ride at about 16.3 mph.
