Congratultions! It's great that you love your bike and you've had some good time on the road this year. There are lots of reasons why many people who love their bikes don't get very many miles in -- long work hours, second jobs, school, overseas deployments, family responsibilities, community involvement, injuries, short riding seasons, multiple bikes, etc.

Time and money are scarce resources for most of us. You should feel fortunate to have the time and circumstances that allow you to ride as much as you do.
