In 2015, I logged 1,100 miles and set my 2016 for 2,000 miles. I hit it and exceeded it by a little bit. I logged 1,970 miles and counted the rides on Citi Bike I did without logging them with ridewithgps. I also did some rides on my own bikes without using the app, so I'm definitely over my goal.
Not sure what this year's goal should be. 2,500 or 3,000 might make sense. There's a good video on Global Cycling Network that offers some nice goals to set for yourself. For instance, it can be a long ride longer than previous ones, whether it's 100 miles or something less. Another, if you have a power meter, is to increase your
FTP by 10%. Hmm, that got me interested in power meters. Maybe I can approximate the measurements with the calorie estimates that the app makes.
