75k miles driving per year?  16k miles biking per year?  My God, who's chasing you?  : ) You might try slowing down and reading Thoreau's Walden for a change... :  )

 

Well I used to drive for a living(courier), now I do the same only by bike. Something isnt chasing me, Im chasing it.
I should have guessed.  I was a courier myself (car), while at University, and my little brother was a bike courier for a time.  Now your mileage makes sense.  : )
Thought about entering the Tour De France (US Postal Team if that is still going)?

Speaking of which, that starts in about 6 - 8 weeks time.

Im 40 years old(as of yesterday), so I have like zero shot at qualifying, and on top of that the odds of making to the elite pro cycling level these days are about the same as winning a spot on an NBA basketball team. If I had wanted to be a pro bike racer I would have had to have started working on that 20 years ago.
