<p>I'm surprised that you have been able to keep track. I never even thought about mileage previous to weekly rides with a group of racers in the early 90s. I kept track of my mileage pretty closely for 8 or 9 years after that. I was at 28,000 circa 2000. Didn't keep track at all for the next ten years, when I began mapping rides on MMR and RWGPS. Still doubt I have half of your total. 100,000 is very impressive.</p>

<p>I've only been riding regular on the LFP for 11 years, but in that time I've seen all sorts of stuff from Obama's motorcade to Kanye and NIN performing at lollalalooza to more than one person ending up in the lake in winter, including one person who drowned. Cormorants and carp, fighter jets and pleasure boats, speedo-sporting swimmers in November and ice sheets discovered too late and taking me down hard.

<p>I'll bet you have great stories! Jonathan. Best moment on the LFT, worst moment, most noteworthy thing you'd ever seen? Owls, coyotes, cops and robbers, crazy bikes, horses and such? </p>

<p>No, but I've probably got about 40-50k since I moved to Chicago in 2008 so if I give myself 43 years at that rate I'll be doing pretty well! :)</p>
