Bikes: 1940s Fothergill, 1959 Allegro Special, 1963? Claud Butler Olympic Sprint, Lambert 'Clubman', 1974 Fuji "the Ace", 1976 Holdsworth 650b conversion rando bike, 1983 Trek 720 tourer, 1984 Counterpoint Opus II, 1993 Basso Gap, 2010 Downtube 8h, and...

I had a good year of cycling, concentrating on randonneuring rather than touring; highlights included riding all the way around Lake Ontario (this took three days) and halfway around Lake Michigan (this took four days). Pretty sure this was my highest mileage year ever.

I don't think I bought any vintage bikes this year, but I did restore a bunch of old saddles.

The bikes I rode all had a certain vintage look, and at least some vintage components, but I don't consider them to be vintage bikes and in general I did not ride vintage bicycles as much as I'd like. With the classic bikes I hesitate to make the modifications that make long distance riding easy.
