60 miles a week commuting
20 miles night ride
70 miles mid week race
50-100 miles over the weekend (depending on road/mtb)

so in a big week I would do 250miles and in a shorter week around 200miles

This drops in Winter and I don't do this every week so maybe 7500miles a year?

Commuting has made a massive difference to my fitness as you build up miles without trying. Mid week racing is a 30-40 mile race with cycling to and from the event as a warmup. This has nearly killed me some weeks on top of everything else. The mid week races are over so I'm looking forawrd to not having sore legs on Wednesdays anymore.

Approximately 3500 - 4000 miles, commuting and MTBing.
Calories burnt = lots
Calories eaten as a result of all that riding = even more. Oops 😳

I hit mile 1000 for 2011 just before the first water at Kielder on Saturday.

Did another 43 miles after that, plus 5 miles each on Monday and Tuesday and 2.5 so far today. So that's, erm, about 1055 miles.

Which is rubbish.

Around 2300 since January 1st, mixture of all types of riding.

Was hoping to get around 300 miles per month average over the year but reckon it'll be more like 250, especially when the weather gets worse soon and i won't get out as much.

But [b]I work from home[/b] doing IT Support
Jammy Beggar! so you've got an extra hour in the morning and afternoon that most people don't have, you could use that for riding.

Just over 3000 so far, bit less than this time last year, a lot less than the year before.
Smiles certainly are more important but they do tend to be linked, 60 fun* rides by this time last year only 45 this year 🙁

*riding offroad for sheer enjoyment not commuting (which can also be fun)

70 miles mid week race

What race is that!?

TLI road race. Typically 30 odd miles but I ride there from home which doubles the distance and serves as a warmup. There's two a week around Newcastle and I tried to do one every other week. There were 10m TT on the days in between. Te road calender up here is so full I think you can race or TT 6 days out of 7 during summer.

About 7,500 since Jan 1st. I did spend 2 months in USA doing 4,000 miles and had done 3,200 before going. Most of these on mtb with close to 5,000 being loaded.
Doubt I will achieve these numbers again - rarely get chance to willy-wave;-)

5,073.51 mi logged this year so far.

Not all my mileage though - I think I could probably add about another 1000.

Ha! Just realised that I can work this out from my cyclemeter app.

The rides I've logged say 443 miles on the road bike and 326 on the mountain bike.

There have been another few where I've forgot to start it logging or the batteries have run out mid-ride so probably in the region of 1000 miles.

Looking at the above, I'm the laziest bugger on this forum by some considerable distance. 😳

I thought it might be worth resurrecting this to see how we all faired for 2011.

I managed 9,447km / 5,870 miles cycling, but topped it up to over 10,000km with walking, running and some kayaking. I don't think I'll be doing anything near that in 2012.

Bought road bike in April, and have done 3.7k since then.

Running didn't really feature much in 2011, till the end of the year, with 450 miles mostly done from August.

Walking....gawd knows.

I think the total could be in the region of 3500.
More than last year.
This year a large chunk of the last two thirds of the year was ridden on a road bike which i really enjoyed.

I've ridden 1mile so far this year and only fell off 3 times - fairly impressive if you add up the empty lager cans I'd consumed before embarking on this challenge

Hard to say as I stopped tracking my miles in August as I cancelled my blackberry contract, so no longer had access to endomondo, which reads 943 miles. Rode at least 10km a day the 2 months I was in Whistler (that was just my ride to and from the bike park, not including all the runs I did) and I've been doing at least 7-8 miles a day since I got back in October.. I cba to work it out but maybe 1400 at a very rough guess?

edit - just realised it's actually 2012 now, so that's my mileage for last year 😆

I rode around 5000miles in the States this summer and perhaps another 1500-2000 in Scotland on and off road. More than I have ever ridden in my life. I enjoyed every second of it all.

In 2011 - 3,854.41 miles, which I'm quite happy about. Plenty of smiles along the way too; even in the wind and rain. Will be happy if I manage the same this year. My arbitrary 'target' was 10m / day average (3,650 total) so chuffed to have ticked that off on 30th November, I think.

2860 miles for me about 500 of which would be on road or town bikes on tarmac. I was hoping for 3000 but didn't quite make it. I measure all my xc, road, town bike miles this way and any time spent on the dh bike, jump bike etc in hours, 425 hours in addition to those miles.

Lets hope 2012 brings even more.

Happy Riding chaps!!

Since April about 600 miles on road and 300 miles off.

Simply not enough but better than the last 15 years when i did nothing.

Still got big plans for 2012, looking to do at least twice the miles.

Hard to say exactly, but I reckon around fifteen hundred to two thousand miles.

I'm going to try to keep an accurate record of my mileage this year; not for any particular reason, but it's interesting to know just how far you actually do cycle in a year.

My mileage is higher than quite a few car drivers I know....

According to the garmin - 1189.63 - all on mtb, so about 90% off road. Had a few rides where I didn't bother/forgot garmin so probably around 1250.

Interestingly it reports my max speed as 113.8mph...

Interestingly too - if you stand between the security sensor things in ASDA front doors, the magnetic resonance sets my cateye strada bike computer speed at 69 mph. I couldn't figure out how I got that fast for weeks.
