Much earlier start this year as there wasn't as much snow this
winter and the warm weather came earlier. It's much easier
reaching 4000 miles if you can start early in the season.
This summer was near perfect for riding - not too hot and
plenty of nice biking days. I'll take these kinds of years
whenever I can get them
