Irv Hoffman makes me feel like a wimp and I'm much closer to 50 than he is
to 70. But that give me hope too.

[RBW] Re: Most Traveled Rivendell? Pamela Murray’s Betty Foy: 51,845 Miles

[Jason Fuller]

Definitely some serious inspiration and a really good new IG follow for 
me.  I have historically been terrible about bike turnover - I'm always 
inspired by (and jealous of) those who've kept a bike for decades, like 
many here.  I have been selling my bike for a new model way too often, and 
as a result have never accumulated any significant mileage on one bike.  

That said I am hoping to change all that with my Hillborne and Bombadil. 
They're still young in their time with me (18 months and 5 months, 
respectively) but I'm already at 3400 km and 1450 km respectively, so I 
hope to be well into the five-digits with both in a few years!  Tales like 
this really help me get there.

Pam those are some *great *pictures. Thanks for sharing. A great case for 
straps and for not leaving the good stuff behind. Also proves a good point: 
by the time you go back for your truck someone else beat you to it!

[Roberta]

I didn't know "who" to attach my reply to, since there are so many awesome 
(I just read an article that that is an overused word) riders here.  I 
admire Pam for her use of Betty Foy for day to day activities instead of 
driving, and probably a lot of "just fun miles."  The miles just add up.  I 
know that Patrick is in that group.

For some of the others, as one of my friends would say "UNBELIEVABLE" (but 
in a believable way) for the amount of miles.  Quite impressive.

For everyone, the joy every ride bike brings outshines the actual number of 
logged miles.  I do about 1000 miles per year, planning on upping that this 
year, but I don't really keep track other than approximations.  I smile 
every mile.

I’m glad we’ve got some company for our Pam. I love hearing that you all 
have so many miles on your Rivs. Rivendells only get dearer over years of 
use. I’m so glad you guys posted!

Leah,

Irv rode a Romulus (sold it to a list member) prior to the Joe App. The Joe 
was acquired last year. Irv's story is a good one. He's a nice guy too!

Best,

Wow, 50,000 on an Appaloosa! That’s impressive - the Appaloosas haven’t been 
out for THAT many years, which means he must put on a lot of miles per year. 

I love this story. Who else?

[RBW] Re: Most Traveled Rivendell? Pamela Murray’s Betty Foy: 51,845 Miles

[Tim Baldwin]

This is some good inspiration for riding. Toting that table around is 
impressive. I'd like to put that many miles on a bike, I just need to stop 
building new ones every couple of years. Easier said than done. I thought 
the Atlantis might be the one (probably has around 8,000) but my new Susie 
is getting all the miles now. All that aside, I love seeing people ride the 
heck out of their bikes.

Just for fun, here's some links to some folder w/more pictures of stuff 
I've carried home on my bike.  Most of this stuff is rescued from the curb 
(landfill).  Some are groceries from the store and the drying rack was a 
gift from a friend.  Carry your straps all the time.  You never know what
