4000 Miles !!!!





Today I completed 4000 miles on my Raleigh Grand Prix

I reached 400 miles on Rt 282 at Springton Road.












It was pretty cold-- about 25 degrees F but very sunny.





I really wanted to get 4000 miles by the end of the year. I started thinking about it in the beginning of November. I rode 228 miles in November which was tied with June for the most miles. December was a challenge because we had 22 inches of snow on December 19 so I didn't ride for a week until the snow melted and the roads were good.
I have been doing my 20 mile ride to Downingtown where I head on down Rt 282.



Then down the Struble Trail.



Then into Downingtown a bit. This is Downingtown National Bank.




This is a Mexican restaurant. I will have to give it a try.











Then I return the same way.
