Since July I've cycled...

I've been participating in the CLIF 2 Mile Challenge since early July of this year (about two months after the challenge started). However, even though I started late, now that the challenge has reached its last month, I find myself in 24th place overall (among a few thousand). It appears that I'm near the front of the pack in my group (people with less than ~1000 points), and it's unlikely that I'll make up enough ground to catch up to that lead group by the end of the month.

But what has it all amounted to? Well, at this point, I've logged 740 miles, which is roughly a one-way trip from Ann Arbor, MI to Omaha, NE or a round-trip from Ann Arbor, MI to Bloomington, IL. Of course, this includes all the weekend trips that I've taken, as well. Therefore, if you look at only my commuting miles (8 miles per day, 5 days per week), by the end of the month, I'll have added another 120 miles, which (although I know that I shouldn't count chickens before they hatch) means that I'll get to around 850 miles cycled since early July.

Coo...
