How may miles have you ridden this year?

" Your a friggin hero and seem to need validation from others to make it
meaningful. Seen your analyst lately?

So sorry that ya don't like it.


cheers,
Tom



How much elevation gain did you get this year?
(I don't know how much I got, either.
Except, not enough.) If I bothered to do New Year
Resolutions, I think I'd pick: hillclimbs. Maybe
make an effort to get some of that old stuff back.


Although I live in the foothills of North Carolina, I don't consider
myself much of a climber so I try to stay away from the really big
climbs. I think my short Monday through Thursday rides (~ 25 miles)
are around 1800 feet of climbing.

I'd wonder more about anyone who'd take the time to do that....

we're all accumulating in December, as it were!

Durn straight! Although at the rate I'm going this month, I should have
posted last week. Concert blew last weekend, train ride torching this
next weekend. Boo hoo. Wouldn't give either of them up, nor the kids
coming home next week.

OTOH, set a new personal best mileage for the year today (as I have
every day for a few months!). And I've had fun riding this year. Even
if it isn't really time to sum up the year yet!

Similar terrain for me, so probably similar climbing. The hill right
outside my home drops 700' to my preferred riding area, and there are
plenty of hills beyond that. Even the other way into town it drops at
least a couple hundred feet. Anywhere I go I have to climb to get home.

To answer the original question, probably 4-5000 miles. I'd be doing
twice that for sure if I didn't spend 2-3 months away each summer.
Getting back on the bike around here after that is murder. A flatland
vacation with bike on the way home sure helps get me moving again.

To those wondering how to get more miles in -- sell the car!

Not much :-/

2100, up from 1550 my first year. Don't have time to ride much more than
that, but am happy with the increase and will try to do better this coming
year.

Almost exactly the same amount that I lost ;-)

How may miles have you ridden this year? I'm just shy of 10,000.

Hummm, that is a toughie, not counting other parts what does three rear
tires add up to?

Somewhere between 1 and 15,000 miles (probably). That's the range for
me over the last few years, too... ;-)

All of 'em except a maybe one the few times I walked the bike.

Not that many, but it's hard to tell now - ask again when the year is over,
there are still over 20 days left to ride!
