I set my bikejournal mileage goal at 5,000 this year. I felt that was good, enough but not too much. Last year I did about 4200. So I'm happy that I'll easily top last year's. But only 950 more in 2 months should be more than doable.:D

Gina's got about 640 more to match her last year's number of 3,000. I think she can do it!:)

How you guys doin'? Meeting your goals?

Sorry Fred, I completely lost track of where I'm at. That's what happens when you're not a computer user. But good luck to both you and Gina. You'll both make it, I'm sure...:)

I'll be happy if I get 2000 miles for the year, I just past 1300 on Saturday so I have a ways to go, but MIGHT be able to get there. I plan to have a strong winter training program so i can be semi race ready by march. So I'm not too worried about the milage but want to get faster/stronger and loss about
10-15lbs by March if possible.

Fred, I started the year with a goal of 5,000 for the year then upped it to 7,000 in March. I was over zealous and learned that with my life, 5,000 miles worth of miles is enough. So, I've backed it back down to my original goal and I've met and surpassed it this year. Now, I'm riding more for fun and to finish CAM. That I do hope to complete, but I'm not riding for miles anymore than that. With that said, I am still adding my miles to Bike Journal for sure, but I'm not looking at the total anymore, stressing about finding time to ride.

I echo George's sentiments. You'll make your goal! But beyond that, you and Gina should just enjoy the riding. :)

"I need 950 More Miles to Meet My Goal!"

That's what we call a "umd week". ;)

Good job, Fred!

about 800 to go to 5000....im gonna make i think!

I had debilitating shoulder problems that stopped me from cycling back in April, so this year I did 3000 miles or so out of planned 10,000, three centuries out of planned 10-11 and no doubles even though I wanted to do at least one. I had surgery about a month ago, recovery is going well, so hopefully I will be able to get on a bike again in a few weeks.

I'm about 380 more from 3K, but that isn't really my goal. My goal is being able to keep up with the BF group but I'm not at that level yet. :p

Isn't that what Lee is doing? doh!

Isn't that what Lee is doing? doh!

"I need 950 More Miles to Meet My Goal!"

950 More Miles = "umd week" = "Vance 3 weeks" = "Happy 6 weeks" :mad:;)

for YOU it would be much more than 6 months... make it 12 (whatdoya say Herb?) :p

yup!!

950 More Miles = "umd week" = "Vance 3 weeks" = "Happy 6 weeks" :mad:;)

Herb=4months...:(

hmm..I am 1158 under my goal....dont think I am gonna make it...

Isn't that what Lee is doing? doh!

Of course Lee rides. He says so himself, according to a post he made on RBR to a newcomer:

"...lets us know when you get settled out here and we'll hook you with the rides we go on and our friends organize. check in over here, too. bikeforums.net so cal forum..."

:p;):D

How you guys doin'? Meeting your goals?

Yep

Sorry Fred, I completely lost track of where I'm at. That's what happens when you're not a computer user. But good luck to both you and Gina. You'll both make it, I'm sure...:)

If a cyclist rides a bike, and it isn't logged by a computer, did the ride really happen? :p

I'm 1170 miles short of my goal of 6000. The way I've been slacking off lately, it's going to be close.

Honestly Fred,

I stopped trying to keep track about March! I know that I rode a lot of miles, and I finished 5 doubles, so that's enough for me.

For 2006 I kept a detailed excel spreadsheet of every mile and came up just a few over 6,000. Probably about the same for 2007!

Rick / OCRR

937 to go until 7,000. I may not make it.

I have 495 miles to go to hit 7,000 this year. Not too bad since I was off the bike from June 29th - August 24th this year.

I am aiming for 8000 miles by Dec 31st...

Thanx. Yeah it aint real important to some to know. I just use mine and update it cause I've been using it for a bout 4 years now. Nice to see the tends. Before I was keeping track in a binder. This way I get all the purty pictures too!:D

Sure 'nough numbers don't mean squat! I have mo miles than you but you'd surely kick my but in a race!:D

Numbers are good for logs and that's about it!:o

That's what we've been doing Mary, and LOVING it!:D I know what you mean about the too many miles thing. I did 7300 in 05. Too many but I set my alltime best. So I 'm happy and don't care to beat it!:p

And OCRRick, you got too many for bikejournal to handle anyways!:p

"I need 950 More Miles to Meet My Goal!"

Good job, Fred!

That's more like two weeks... I did only 250 two weeks ago...

I'm sure you can hold your own too:D

I did 50 for ya this morning Fred. :D

I need 525 to make 4000 since Jan 1, but I did pass 5000 for the 12 month period preceeding today.

Now ya tell me miles don't count.:mad: What am I doing this for?:rolleyes::cry::cry:

Oh; OK. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't completely wasting my time.

So you can tell all your friends! None of mine know a dern thing about riding!:D

Good milers though Jus'me!:p

You only did 250 miles two weeks ago? You total slacker.


















:p;):D

Thanks. Someday I might be able to keep up with you.

You are up with me! I only have 4050 miles this year!:rolleyes:

Oh yeah, I met my goal :)

I know... I made up for it this past week though. 430 or so I think it was :eek: Now I'm resting up for this crazy race I'm doing Sunday. I think I need to have my head examined...

Well, you seem rather normal to me, Steve, just a little enthusiastic is all. You'll get older one of these days and your riding will slow to just 250/week on a regular basis. You'll then think of now as the "good 'ol days when you were putting in a lot of miles." :p

You are up with me! I only have 4050 miles this year!:rolleyes:
On the road my friend, on the road.:p

How you guys doin'? Meeting your goals?

Just do 9 1/2 centuries and you'll be good to go!

I started counting in May (like I always do) and was gunning to ride 10,000 km minimum as that is what commuting every day would bring me.

Since May I have ridden just over 8200 km with nearly 5000 of those being done on my fixed gear for an average of 45 km / day.

By May 1, 2008 I should hit 16,000 km (10,000 miles) for the year and almost of my winter miles will be done on a fixed gear so there will be very little coasting.

Sixty Fiver, how close to the Sunshine Coast are you in Canuckistan??

I'm only 750 miles short of my goal of 7,000 miles for the year.
