Hit 500 miles on my bike this morning in Denver and realized something strange

I've been tracking my rides for 2 years but never actually added up the total. 500 feels like a big number but most of those miles were on the same 3 mile stretch of Colfax where the bike lane just disappears. Has anyone else noticed how uneven their route really is once you start counting?

That 500 miles is a solid milestone, even if most of it was on the same stretch. It's funny how you can ride the same route over and over and not realize how much of it is just that one loop. The bike lane disappearing on Colfax sounds like a real pain, especially when you're just trying to get a good ride in. It makes you wonder how many other riders out there are stuck on the same few miles just because the infrastructure's so spotty. Good on you for tracking it though, that kind of attention to your own riding is rare.
