The longest ride I did all year was only around 50 miles.

Once we got out of the deep freeze this spring, I got back on the bike and commuted most every day for work. I don't keep track of my commuting miles. My commute is short (3 miles each way) and I don't commute every day so I probably average 24 miles a week commuting (4 days a week more or less). I didn't have any big goals for 2014 than to get on the bike which I did.

I'm looking forward to next year though as I've penciled in a bunch of rides I want to do. It's about time I did some actual long distance rides.
