My normal average per year is about 11K. This year I'm above, because I retired this year, so every day is a weekend. Yet, I won't make my record of 15,350. Which I still can't believe I did that while working. I was doing 12 hr. days counting the commute.

Anyhow, I try to get out 6 days a week (weather permitting) and average 40-60 a day. Summers are toward the high side of that range, winters the low. Because of a bad crash 8 years ago, my back and shoulders can't take much more than 4 hrs. on the bike. So, long rides are pretty much out of the question. I only have three rides this year in the low 80 mile range.
