2016 was a big year for me

[shovelhd]

Congratulations. That's a lot of miles.

I was also laid off in 2016. Worst year of my life. Glad that you found work (I did as well).

[fuzzalow]

Congratulations. I'd even suggest that calling it a big year was an understatement, which in this day and age is a decorum long forgotten. What you accomplished, even for the most dedicated and passionate among us, is truly on another planet.

I could only wish I could feel what it's like to have capacity that you have from riding that you have done - that there's always another notch available in the engine room far beyond what I could ever have.

Wow!! That is amazing! Congrats.

[R3awak3n]

absolutely crazy and amazing. Congrats man. And fixed gear on top of that

[Bwana]

Holy crap, that's an amazing achievement. Well done!

Let me fix this for miguel. Are you tired????

Way to go. This is impressive.

[merckx]

Very impressive. Congratulations. We should all be so lucky to have the fortitude, fitness and time to reach your milestone. Now a question; what saddle do you use to facilitate all of that time on the machine? Do you use a different saddle for fixed Vs. geared?

[Gsinill]

Wow. This is insane and if there ever was a right for someone to brag, those achievements qualify. Congrats!!!

Now, since you already answered that one, the next obvious question:
"Are you (still) in a relationship with your significant other?"

Well done, my friend. That has to feel great; both the physical and mental achievements.

I have a charcoal drawing of Tommy Godwin (high mileage legend) in my office and the background is the same color as your blue Kirk. Pretty neat.

[Mzilliox]

wow, inspirational stuff brother.

[Tandem Rider]

Very impressive, 25k in one year is almost mind boggling. That's in the neighborhood of 1500 hours, 3/4 of a full time job. What a huge investment of time and energy with a lifetime of memories. Turning something unfortunate into a great opportunity and acting on it.

[David Kirk]

Tip O' the hat my friend!

[AngryScientist]

how about some vital equipment stats for us low mileagers?

like: how many consumables did you go through in such a year? bottom brackets, tires chains etc?

[gone]

Don't let him kid you, all he did last year was eat. The bike riding stuff was purely incidental.
