2014 was was of my best years on the bike. It wasn't simply because I set a record for miles ridden (7384), but because I hit a milestone commuting; over 5k for the year. I have a long commute; it's 46-48 miles round trip, depending on the route, and the ride home is all up hill. There's no way I could, or would want to do it 5 days a week all year; that said, the goal is always a minimum of 2 commutes per week, 3 if possible, and during the summer or spring when it's nice, I'll commit to doing blocks of 5 days when I feel like grinding it out.
My faithful commuter frame cracked late in the year, and was replaced with a Surly LHT frame, which so far, has been fantastic.
2014 also saw the arrival of a new trailer so I could run errands via bicycle. I liked it so much that I built an Xtracycle out of my old MTB so I could take on bigger loads. I've been a cyclist for what seems like an eternity, yet, I had never given serious consideration to actually "using" a bike for anything other than fitness, fun, and commuting. It turns out that I really love utility cycling.
As I look to 2015, my goal is simple; there are 7 days in the week. I want my car to stay in the driveway for at least 4 of those days. If I can do that, the miles and fitness will take care of themselves.
And finally, as much as I love to track on Strava, 2015 will be the year that I skip all the Strava Challenges, not because I have issue with them, but because doing a grocery run on a Sunday means more to me than going out and riding a Gran Fondo. If you're a Strava user like me, you'll know what I'm talking about. That said, there is a club on Strava that someone here set up, and it's pretty awesome; I'd encourage you to join. There are some people here that ride some serious miles!
