Since 8/15 I have edited the above post twice for the proceeding two weeks. Should we leave this thread for dead? It's been a staple my entire time here

I went on holiday in August then saved a couple of weeks up
I'm not sure if this moves me above The Chemist (no doubt it does not in the real world, but I'm not sure what the total in brackets is, all time?)

It's been a while since my last update. I've only got a few more work days before I go on winter break and put a wrap on this year's commuting miles. As it stands now, I'm just 2.2 miles shy of last year's total, which was the most commuting miles I've done since I started my current job about 8 years ago. A storm is coming, but I'll brave the rain at least one more time to set a new personal benchmark before the year ends.

Last commute of 2025 today. Just over 8000km commuting in total this year, which I think is a new record for me. It's been a load of fun. Looking forward to 2026.

For the 2025 calendar year, my tally with ridewithgps is 1,124.1 miles. A few of those miles were not commuting. I won't bother with separating commuting versus non-commuting miles. I also forgot to record some rides. So that's about it.

I'm not sure how many of my miles were commuting. I tag my commutes as such in Strava, and I can find them with the Activities filter, but it won't add them up for me or just drill down based on year.

I wound up with 5,933 total miles (9548 km) in 2025 though.

I finally updated my year-end totals to include my last two commute days in December. My commute is only 4.1 miles each way, and I am a school teacher, so I get a lot of days off work each year. Even though my commuting miles are modest compared to some others, I almost never missed a commute day (probably around 10 commutes by car, usually when I had too much to carry or if I had an appointment right after work). Sometimes I do tack on a few extra miles by taking the long way home. All told, I finished 2025 with a new personal best in terms of total commuting miles (1,438.6 miles) since I started my current job 8 years ago. I'm aiming to break 1,500 commuting miles in 2026.
