My goal was 7,000 miles plus like the last two years, but that is not going to happen. 3,926 miles so far this year. I was off the bike more this year due to physical problems than the previous five years combined. In January I battled with lumbar spinal stenosis, which kept me off the bike for over three weeks. Hard to ride a bike when you can't stand up straight or walk for more than two minutes. In late May, I lost another three weeks due to a mysterious virus/flu. It took over a month for me to feel normal from that one.
