2 down, 8 to go. I finished up my 200 miles quota on my 56cm Single Top Tube, Cantilever, Rivendell Samuel Hillborne (first of four Rivendells). Those 200 miles went too fast and leave me wanting more. If I stay ahead of schedule and 3000 miles appears to be in play, bank on it that a lot of the extra credit miles will come back on Sam. It's a truly splendid bike. With nice light wheels and tires, a svelte but capable 2x9 drivetrain, and not a lot of extraneous stuff strapped to it, it's a terrific little road bike, and up to the task for some spirited underbiking:

With these 38mm Compass Steilacooms, it's practically a cross-racer. I'm about 550 miles into my 2000 goal. I have one more week of work, and then the real miles can start going down when I'm on sabbatical (or, with no work to go to, perhaps I'll sleep in all day?).
