Finally...

there are two things where the headline matches:

First: today I finally reached my goal of 3000km this year. long time before I expected to reach it. So I have to think about what to do the next months. 4000km seems to be too much since the weather will not be that good for long rides. Still it could be possible. One or two times to my parents will add some km to the daily ride to work. I need a couple of days to think about it.

The second one. Khaoist asked for a picture of my new bike. So finally. Here is my new bike. Nothing special, no suspensions. But the frame and accessories are better ones. I think its worth. Resulting that my average speed climbs: now at about 20,6km/h. This speed is not extreme high, but I have to ride through downtown to reach my work...

And as usually for the records. As of today:
3009km this year
4625km in 224:29h (total)

A faster bike is always good, even if it is only a bit faster. I guess it is more efficient, which is good too.

Well done on the 3000km.

Thanks

Actually the current speeds are higher. The mentioned average came from the total numbers on my odometer. So it will still increasing. If you take the numbers from my last blog and the current you'll end at about 22,3km/h average.

Riding that bike makes real fun. And after a longer ride I feel much better compared to my old one.

I'm glad to hear it. New bikes are usually more fun.

Looks like you have comfortable handlebar grips and seat, that alone can make a big difference.
