The 2015 Commuting Mileage Thread!

Happy New Year, and Happy 2015! 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 2014

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]

2014 commuting mileage thread is closed awfully early. It's only 9am on the Jan 1 and my last week of riding isn't logged.
Oh well.

Dang, locked out the 2014 thread before I could post my final mileage as of yesterday's commute. I am posting my hours because I think that more accurately represents commitment. An hour on my loaded down commuter is significantly less mileage at more effort than an hour on my lighter bike.

I'll be with you starting next week... I'm not going to pronounce any sweeping goals this year, but it should be more normal than last year. If I were to bike-commute all the time it would be something like 2500 miles and I expect my cycling "mode share" to be around 1000.

This will probably be the only time I will lead the mileage rankings, so I'm going to revel in the glory while it lasts.

Could we get something added to the first post about using the Courier New font to keep everything lined up? Sure makes it easier to read.

Also I like to add the date of my most recent entry so that makes it easy to see if someone quoted the wrong post and got things out of order when it comes time for me to update my mileage.
