 2012 Mileage Goal and YTD comparative statistics
Cycling for me is all about maintaining good health and improving performance. I'm not driven in any competitive sense by comparing my performance with others. The goal is to try to improve upon past effort.

After looking at my past performance efforts it would appear that my mileage goal for 2012 is a slacking off in my cycling commitment, and in one minor sense it is. Still the 4000 mile goal will require an average of 100 miles per week from now until December 31st.

I have not slacked off on commuting or the effort to increase my speed average. Because of a rediscovered/recovered ability with new knees, I am increasing my average cycling speed. Maintaining and increasing work commutes. Though doing less recreational cycling, I have been accomplishing more household tasks which previously were too painful. Cycling is no longer the principal physical activity which it once was for me.
