High Mileage!

Just turned over 7,000 miles on my XR. Add in the 1700 I had on my + when I sold it, should be hitting 9,000 total soon! Once I get the GT, I'll be doing more than the 11 or 12 miles a day I get on the XR AND I'm getting a Pint X so I can float at my vacation home as we've been spending a LOT more time there and I really miss OWing when I'm not home.
GT-S > GT > Pint X > XR > +

Just finished putting in the new pack etc. Wow. You guys are in for a treat with your GT's. It felt like it had shifted to delerium! Really responsive. The old packs must really suffer from voltage sag.
Going from an XR with an old battery to a new GT will be awesome.

Well... I am again Onewheeling... And it feels GREAT! Trying to hold my speed down... Still topped 20.5mph... And I felt like embracing and swishing the speed more fully... Riding with my arm in a sling... But I added d3o pads to the sling... And the sling acts conveniently also as a tether, ensuring that I won't try to break a fall with a stiff arm... Maybe tonight I will install the BadgerSense on my Plus.
Changed my Leaderboard name to English Dance... Celebrating two core activities... Relinked, I am back at #3 on the Plus mileage Leaderboard... With one day and a few miles I am #141 on the Plus Daystreak... I rode two boards today, and I am not sure which one holds the Daystreak display.

@s-leon Wonderful news! Stay safe out there you speed demon.

I've been anticipating this new milestone for a while now. My OW history is 1700 miles on the + that I bought back in August 2017, 7128 miles on the OneDanXR, 331 on the Pint X, and 842 miles on my GT.
That's 10,001 miles as of this morning . . . WOOHOO!!!
When you think about floating ~6 inches off the ground the equivalent distance of 4 times across the US from coast to coast, it's almost unbelievable. I'll check back in at 20k. :D

Fifty miles today on the Greenway through shady woodlands and farm fields -- on an exceptionally beautiful September day. At a crossroad I had to wait for two Amish horse-drawn buggies to pass by, in the wild woods alongside the trail I saw an Amish workman cutting firewood, and on the trail another Amish workman was hauling firewood in a walk-behind motorized cart. Further down the trail four Amish children had set up a lemonade stand right beside the sparely-used trail; while they were wide-eyed agog at my Onewheel, I stopped, dismounted, and paid for lemonade -- one each for them to drink. Early in the ride I overtook a "tadpole," a three-wheeled pedal recumbent, and seventeen or eighteen miles down the trail, on the way back, I passed him again. A half-dozen bicycles -- one of which overtook me, a bicycle-built-for-two (with the bigger rider in front -- why?), a few dog walkers and joggers, and a glistening wet, black mottled watersnake were other sights. And I came home to sweet, home-grown watermelon and dead-ripe cantaloupe.
