Mix of MTB and road and a little bit of rollers ( which i still find scary and exhausting )
Good year for me as i have also done hiking, swimming and running for the first time in years
Really impressed with some of the numbers some of you have achieved as im retired and have loads of time to play
Here's mine, though I'm riding tomorrow and hopefully Tuesday. All outdoors, mixture of road and mtb. I'd set myself a goal of 200k meter climbing for no real reason, it was nice to get there on Christmas morning ๐

Split over a combination of mtb, road and some turbo. Will rise slightly tomorrow as off to FoD!
Made a target at the start of the year to hit 5000 miles but nearing the end of September I realised this meant a weekly average of 114 miles from then on, managed it until mid December when norovirus plus Christmas commitments hit and it became impossible to fit in the miles, oh well next year!
I don't bother recording commutes and riding to/from trail head, only the MTB climb and descent

I went for quality over quantity this year and I've had some great rides but still put in some good numbers #thoseaintrookienumbers
Rides: 228
Time: 373h 39m
Distance: 8,068 km / 5,013 miles
Elev Gain: 60,088 m / 197,139 feet
Mainly commuting and road rides, some gravel style MTB rides. Zero turbo cos like that ain't riding is it.
Looks like no rides till the 1st so...
146 rides
2,907 km
Climbing cant be trusted as I do a fair bit of shuttling (49k apparently)
All on the mountain bike, outdoors, no commuting.
Rides 459
Time 533
Distance 8309

Down a bit on the last two years but that's mainly due to more MTB and not as many long road rides. No overseas cycling trip this year either and as I live in the mountainous East Anglia elevation is not as high as I'd like.
Enjoyed my riding this year and that's the important thing in my eyes.
Distance 2,998.7 mi
Time 204h 9m
Elev Gain 121,253 ft
Rides 150
Will complete final ride today or tomorrow to reach 3K (or I might not). Started to get fit agin this year after a couple off the bike and enjoyed it.
Mixture of MTB, commuting on canals, road rides and Zwift. Trainer miles should count for more than outdoor miles; no rest, no coasting ๐
10,000km exactly (yes, really)

Not huge compared to some , but more than last year and about what id planned for so happy with it ๐
Rides 273
Time 309h 45m
Distance 5200 miles (8320km)
Elevation Gain 222923ft (67947m)
I still have 3 commutes to go, that's another 60 miles to add to the totals.
Just worked out that's an average speed of 16.8 miles an hour over the year. Quite pleased with that as I was on a gravel bike for a couple of months and my single speed road bike for the last 8 weeks.
Distance 7,264.2 km
Time 374h 42m
Elev Gain 120,018 m
Rides 164
Not as much mileage as hoped, was looking for 8,000km, but more mtb this year reduced that.
And a crash this morning on my last ride of the year has me sitting here with a very sore and stiff hip, and very sore ribs.
Distance = 2,375.8km
Time = 235h 45m
Elev Gain = 82,658 m
Rides = 105
Well down on previous years, but I have stopped working for myself at home and joined the rat race.
Also literally only about four road rides in there, rest is MTB. And I've been going to the gym two or three times a week all year. And taken up running.
Is that enough excuses yet?

Happily, I'm actually riding technical stuff faster and more confidently on the MTBs, thanks to the gym work.

225000ft elev gain (deducted the 4000ft of a BPW day!)
Lame December due to weather, manbola and lots of work kept me under 2000 miles but on the whole, best years mileage for ages.
6000.4 miles completed - ticked off the final 35 today to reach my target - no namby pamby indoor miles - lots of commuting in very wet conditions in the last 4 months in grandest West Yorkshire - though today I swear I saw dust - was on the canal towpath mind - but you have to take the positives after the last 4 months of rain

4133 miles

More rides than last year but missed my target by about 100 miles, which points to doing more MTB than 2018. However, most of my miles have been 'mixed' on a gravel or road bike (no commuting). Had a lot of fun, though, in France, Italy, Tasmania and California so generally satisfied. I'd like to do more more bikepacking and overnight tours next year and not let work kill entire months of my life.
Distance 1,8635 miles
Rides 140
Height gain 236,614 ft
No long road rides over 50miles this year but a week and a bit in whistler certainly bumped up the height gain 😀
Not sure what next year holds as we have just had a son 😀
My stats are:
Rides - 122
Mileage - 4,820 miles - 7,757Km
Climbing - 390,000ft - 118,000m
My worst years riding since 2015, however I spent a lot of time this year caring for my Father who sadly passed away in May & then I was knocked off my bike when a car hit me on a roundabout in November & it's taken time to recover.
I am hoping that 2020 will be a better year for me & my riding.
On the fat bike until May, then the new gravel bike this month:
Distance 2,741.4 km
Time 135h 7m
Elev Gain 20,282 m
Rides 55
I've nearly spent a similar amount of time immersed this year too:
Distance 375,838 m
Time 110h 41m
Swims 78
Was aiming for 2000miles. Could of hit it but this last week's been a bit shit.
I'd say 70percent is mtb so
Ave week rides 3
Av time 5hrs 20
Distance 53
So rides 177
235hrs
1950 miles
And 184k feet of climb.
Next year 3k and 300k is the goal
Lots of commuting (CX or road, v occasionally MTB), some tandem road rides, a bit of MTB
I've still got a ride home (10.8km or 6.45 miles, 280m or 922ft elevation) but so far:
Distance 5,149.4 km (3,199.7 mi) (2,219km excluding commutes)
Time 326h 40m (146h 25m excluding commutes)
Elev Gain 89,196 m (292,638 ft) (34,128m excluding commutes)
Rides 350
that means 2930 km and 55,068m elevation in 180 hours just while commuting. Quite pleased with that, not sure why some folks feel that commuting isn't proper riding
Hit my target of 2500 miles with a day to spare, with a very pleasant 25 mile jaunt with good company on a lovely sunny day.
All MTB (with a few uplifts in the mix)
Miles: 2523.9
Rides: 204
Hours: 271
Happy with that 🙂
