6810 miles YTD off 1434 miles in 2013,

150 road miles a week, commuting plus a couple of hours midweek ride.
Maybe 20-30 off road at w/e, certainly my biggest year for a while and last few weeks it’s starting to bite – 6am zombie mode, glad the roads are quiet that early as some days I get to work and can’t remember the ride in at all.
Never been more bike fit though and hoping to keep going through winter 🙂

I’m cracking on, but I’m not chasing the miles. Most of my riding now is broken into either training or riding new places. Gone are the miles for building core fitness, replaced with smiles for training and shorter intensive routines or riding places I’ve never been before taking routes off my Garmin to ride.

So whilst I’m cracking it out every day, I’m not logging miles anymore 😀

About 4300 odd which is a PB for me

Tailed to about nothing recently as concentrating on new programme of plyometrics to get me stronger for next years activities. Still, two events in January so need to get back on the dandy horse asap!

5779.4 road miles for me so far, riding today so another 20 miles to add to that by the time I get home. Excluding December I’ve averaged 506 miles a month with a only a couple of months where I haven’t ridden more than 500.

My target was always 6000 road miles for the year anyway, rather than 500 a month.

So after today I’ll have 200 miles to do which is easily achievable as long as the ice doesn’t return. I couldn’t ride at all last week due to ice and snow but will have done 160 this week and I should be out at the weekend too.

I have about 250km to do by the end of the month to hit my 12,000km for the year; doubt I’ll ever have the time to do such a decent distance again as usually work gets in the way.

10388km, 6455 miles. I wanted to do 12000km but it all dropped off a bit come October.

Last ride of the year done and total is 6,020.66 miles, 72,220m ascent.

I’ve felt fitter in the last quarter of the year than I’ve ever felt, enjoyed every ride even in the pissing rain and howling headwinds and had a great winter so far.

Monthly average is 501.7 and I did have a few months where I didn’t hit 500 miles but got very close apart from a dismal February.

Targets for next year are:

> Increase monthly mileage against 2014
> More long rides – only did one long ride this year
> Lots more off road riding
> Aim for a 1000 mile month
> More very early morning summer rides – hardly did any this year and I love setting off at first light and home before the family are awake.

All starts again tomorrow.

5000 miles is still good going amedias. I was going to be riding home but my wife just happens to be driving past my office around 3pm and the offer of a lift is to good to turn down. My work is done 🙂

congrats to those that accomplished the mission! (think I’m on target to reach 500 miles by next December)

as per that other thread recently, my target for 2015 is not mile munching (been there, done that before).

so will be more like amedias’ list above (minus the events and racing).

go more places, seek out new riding locations (won’t be one *every* month, cos Jan/Feb most weekends will be skiing, etc.), check out all the biergartens nearby (after “earning” that bier), maybe not bike packing but at least get the train somewhere and ride home possibly with a night in a b+b somewhere.

Fell short at 4750 miles, bit annoyed that my 64 miles today didn’t count – it closed before I got home!
Actual mileage 4817 miles for the year, over 200’000ft of climbing as well. Would have liked to hit 5000 but there you go.
Came in on the first page – just!

Just got my 5000 miles in for the year. Most of which was road/commuting 🙁

saved a fortune of fuel though and lost nearly 1.5 stone in the process, although it’s going back on with this Christmas food and ale.

Good to see you out and about again Ton 🙂

Congratulations to those who hit their goals, particularly @ton post surgery. Very impressive. I have to admit to being intimidated rather than inspired though.

2015 challenge created

Me too. Looking at this to get fitness back up after injury prone 18 months. If I can get anywhere near 6000 by this time next year it’ll be a bonus. Good motivational challenge. Gonna try an unsupported coast to coast (bikepacking). Wales first then maybe North and Scotland depending on success of first one.

12,000km target hit for me, will carry on with base miles until the Spring but doubt I’ll have the time for so much riding this year so not going for a target this time.

Just joined 2015 challenge – always good to see what everyone else gets up to.
Well done to everyone who met their targets for 2014 – even those who didn’t – any bike riding is good!.
I topped out at 13,025 miles for 2014 – even impressed myself that that I managed 1,100 miles of that going round in circles at Newport Velodrome.

Are turbo miles allowed?

I only managed 3612 miles last year with no 500 mile months but hoping I can get a few in this year.
