2024's bicycle miles

I rode 6540 miles in 2024.  My goal was 6000 miles.  Last year the milage total was only 5770 miles.  Since Na Nina was predicted for this Winter, and that usually means colder and snowier for us in the NW U.S., I tried to make the 6000 mile mark earlier than usual as I didn't want to ride many miles if it was cold and snowy.   Been there, done that for cold snowy bicycle riding; and I'm getting older.

I made 6055 miles by the end of November.  Goal accomplished.   Since La Nina now became somewhat late and milder than predicted, we have been about average to a touch above average for moisture and temperatures.  Cold enough I couldn't do much ranch work outside but decent enough to keep riding my bicycle.  That is why the yearly total was 6540 miles.
