Close enough: 6,001 miles for calendar 2019
That's actually the fewest annual miles I've ridden since 2013 (when I was off the bike for 6 weeks with a bunch of broken ribs) and the second fewest in over a decade. I like to tell myself the reduced mileage is mostly due to solidarity with my wife, who had a catastrophic crash in late September and hasn't ridden -- or worked, or done much of anything -- since. But I also recognize that some of the obsessiveness I embraced in the past isn't as rewarding to me.
Plus I'm getting old and my knees hurt.
