I don't keep track of my mileage but the rec. bike club I usually ride with has me down for 7600 miles as of earlier this month - not counting grocery/shopping rides, miles to/from club rides, solo rides, or rides during a couple vacation months.

150 rides, 4901 miles, but more important is 277.0 hrs on the bikes. 303,000 ft elevation gain and longest rides were 100 miles including the Ride to Defeat ALS in Napa. Includes 300 miles on the Mtn bike and 824 miles on the Cross bike which dropped my average speed but was some great cross training and added some good seat time. Focusing more on hrs/intensity than miles these days....
2015 will be the year I finally will cumulatively reach the distance around the earth at the equator for my first "loop" (24,902 miles). Took me since late 2007 to do this, but oh well. At 23,794 odometer at the end of 2014 since 2007 and counting!

5,226 miles.
The sweaty crease between my man boobs and belly bothered me so I decided to get back in shape. Went from 268 miles in January 2014 to 623 miles in December for a strong finish. Dropped from over 200 pounds to 148 with visible ribs and sternum.
Cancer tried to get me but I had it cut out in August. 10 days off, a sore butt, and lingering tiredness from anesthesia made that a 299 mile month.

Not great, but I broke my hip in February and had to take 2 months off.

About 3600 miles again this year, mostly within 100 miles of home. I want to go ride other places this year.
From the 2013 "Contest": I plotted the first 125 reports of mileage and optional elevation gain. A lot of riders end up near the 50 feet per mile area of the chart.

6,690 miles and just under 400,000 vertical feet. a little more mileage than last year and a little less climbing than last year. need more regional trips in the western us
for 2015. 2013 was a good year for that. 2014...not so much.
