I didn't keep track last year (didn't ride the entire year), but I'm aiming for averaging 100 miles a week in 2009. If the weather is bad, or some other obstacle keeps me from getting 100 in a week, I'll make it up the next week. I just set up an account on mycyclinglog.com. I may get sick of keeping detailed logs, but I'm gonna try anyway. I think for a newbie, 5,000 miles a year ain't too shabby.
