Greg,
What a really great idea!!! You are so right about the
century ride. I did one 3 years ago in Rhode Island
and it's a ride I'll remember for a life time. I was
fortunate enough to ride it with two other
handcyclists.
I haven't actually compiled my mileage but the first
handcycle I owned had 5,000 miles on it when I got the
new Pro and it has 9,000 miles on it now. So I guess
I'm celebrating at least 14,000 miles.That covers
about 6 years and two of those years I had 4 cardiac
procedures and a double bypass so my annual mileage
has been effected by that. I am also very fortunate
because I live in Southern California and ride year
round.
I haven't been shooting for any particular annual
mileage but I do 75 - 100 miles a week. And I'm 60
years old.
