Sixty-Day Update

Dee and Cal have now been en route to Alaska for sixty days. Just for fun, I compared the first thirty days with the second thirty.

Days en route:	30	30
Days on road:	22	24
Rides 10-29 miles:	2	1
Rides 30-49 miles:	6	9
Rides 50-69 miles:	12	8
Rides 70-89 miles:	2	3
Rides 90-129 miles:	0	3
Miles total:	1123	1501
Miles/day mean:	37	50
Miles/ride mean:	51	63
Miles/ride median:	54	55

The three rides of over 90 miles is amazing, but more impressive, in my view, is the riding consistency. Out of the first 30 days, 22 were on the road (73%), 14 of which (64%) were rides of over 50 miles. Out of the second 30 days, 24 were on the road (80%), 14 of which (58%) were rides of over 50 miles. That is consistency. Since they are ahead of schedule, this is a great time to adopt a "slow down and enjoy" program.

(The "mean" is the average distance per day or per ride. The "median" is where half the rides were less than and half more than this distance. In the first 30 days, the outliers were on the low end, so the mean was less than the median. In the second 30, the outliers were on the high end, so the mean was greater than the median.)
