Throughout the years I've made many bike treks in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Northwestern Ontario, but most of the road
miles I've chaulked up were right here in my home town, peddling around to my various activities. Anyway, now that my
uncle the competitive cyclist has sent me a nifty little bike computer from down east, I've decided to start tracking my road
miles here.
At the end of each month, I'll check the ticker, and post the total. I'm curious to know just how far I actually bike
each summer-season to all my activities. The answer may just be surprising.
