Earlier this week (Tuesday, possibly), the odometer on my cycle computer ticked over the 1000 miles mark. Well, actually, it ticked over the 2200 mile mark, but I did 1200 miles with it on my old, stolen bike.

So, in six months its done 1 million, six hundred thousand metres. It's had two crashes, one serious (when The Sensible Cyclist discovered the capabilities of hydraulic disc brakes), and one trivial (where I discovered a hard limit of the front end grip). Its nearly run over two snakes, seen lots of kangaroos and done many, many trails.

Almost immediately after reaching 1000 miles, the computer battery failed. I was not entirely successful in identifying which of the two batteries needed to be replaced on the first guess. Once my superior intellect had narrowed the field down a little, I had a spot more luck. Unfortunately, the RAM is volatile, so it's lost all memory of the previous epic distance, and I'm starting my next thousand from scratch.
