I did 5 centuries last year and several 80+ miles, one problem with Texas is
the heat prevents long distance riding for me and the 100 milers happen
early and late in the year

In 2005 so far I have 1,280 miles, #250 on bikejournal.com, last year I put
on 5000 miles

Currently riding an Optima Baron and do between 25 and 40 miles a day during
the week, longer on weekends
