Went through two milestones this weekend. Did my 4000th kilometre this year on my bike today. Was a week with three 100 km rides, this accelerated things a little bit. I moved into the basement with my trainer last week and now I can ride early morning without disturbing anyone as the pandemic totally borked up my sleep/awake cycle. So I’m awake at 04:00 AM anyway.
Overall I’m now at 30000 km since I started cycling as a sport in April 2019.
As I already wrote in a different place: Reaching 30000 km marks as well the time where I officially retire my Stevens Prestige to off-wheel trainer duty, so I won’t do any long rides outside with it. However, I will keep it in a condition ready to ride when I put in the back wheel and will never give it away. As my current watch, it was a companion through a quite transformative time and I want to keep both as mementos.
A new bike is already on its way. Perhaps I will write an article about it, but more about the fact that during a pandemic nobody really keeps you from doing borderline insane stuff when your usual voices of reason are socially distanced from you —
