I didn't set mileage goals for the year, aiming instead to ride a certain number of days. According to the rules of the challenge I entered, I had to go at least 10 km for it to count as a day of riding, so I tracked mileage to be sure I was good in that respect. My goal was 250 days. The results?

265 days of riding and
3808 miles total for 2015.

I didn't separate commuting miles from other kinds of rides. I'm very happy with this level of riding and plan to keep my goals the same for next year.

My non-riding bike goal was to gain skills and confidence wrenching on my own bike. I took an overhaul class through my local co-op and was able to rebuild one of my own bikes from the bottom bracket up. It was exhilarating! Now I can volunteer there on a regular basis to help overhaul bikes that are donated to the co-op. It really helps keep my skills up, and I'm slowly getting better at it.
