The 2016 Commuting Mileage Thread!

Happy New Year, and Happy 2016! Here's the new Commuting Mileage Thread!

For reference, here's a link to the 2014 thread to compare how everyone did last year! Link to 2015.

Here's the instructions, written by Swifty . . .

This is a thread where us commuters can log our yearly commuting mileage in. Should be fun!

To add your mileage (Standard or Statute Mile), just copy the list from the previous post and add your name and mileage at the appropriate line in the list. To update your mileage, cut your name and mileage line, and paste it at the new location according to your new mileage total.

For even more fun, you can highlight your name in red (Here's a Link to "HOW TO") and you could even add your state's 2 Letter code after your name to tell us where you are...

example: Let's assume the list is as follows:

John (OH)_______1200
Mary___________988 (Total 1350)
Robert (CA)_____500
K'Tesh (TW)_____200 (643.74 里) [45/60]


I want to put in my mileage, so I copy the list above, put in my name plus my current commuting mileage total for this year (Optionally, following that, I'll add parenthesis with my Cumulative Total Miles, or an alternative distance measurement (I use the Chinese Lǐ (里)). You can also put in your commute ratios in brackets... e.g [3/5] is three commutes for five opportunities:

John (OH)_______1200
Mary___________988 (Total 1350)
Swifty__________803 (Total 1500)
Robert (CA)_____500
K'Tesh (TW)_____200 (643.74 里) [45/60]

A week later I want to update my mileage, So I copy over the list from the most recent post, and adjust the mileage behind my name. As my mileage has become greater that the mileage of the person above me in the list, I cut and paste my name to represent the changed standings:

John (OH)_______1200
Swifty__________1100 (1800)
Mary___________988 (Total 1350)
Robert (CA)_____500
K'Tesh (TW)_____200 (643.74 里) [45/60]

You can also put in your commute ratios in brackets... e.g [3/5] is three commutes for five opportunities:
John (OH)_______1200
Mary___________988 (Total 1350)
Swifty__________803 (Total 1500)
Robert (CA)_____500
K'Tesh (TW)_____200 (643.74 里) [45/60]

Ridingmatthew (and others new to the thread), according to the thread directions, the rank list is based on your commuting miles only. You can follow that with total cycling miles in parentheses, but the ranking is only for commuting mileage.
