So did anybody get their dream bike for Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa? [View all]

Well not me but I got a lot of riding in 2016, 5120 miles to be exact. I still ride mostly solitary but once a week I load my bike in the car to ride with a group of people. If it is Friday we usually ride 32 miles, the Saturday ride has a lot more aggressive riders who tend to go around 60 miles. I usually do around 40 miles. Around here it's mostly gently rolling land, seldom really flat but no really high hills. In the 40 mile route there is about 1,100 feet of elevation gained. I know in some parts of the country that would be one climb.
