I'm feeling so unworthy. How many garbage miles in there?

Hey, I'm not retired yet - I just feel like I should be! And most of us aren't from Canada, so change that "h" to an "l". Oh wait - you agreed to tone it down, so you can't do that. Phfffftttt~~~~ ;-/

Of course, when I first started riding with my club, comprised of folks that qualify for this forum, the first question I was asked was: "Are you still working?" When I said yes, the reply was "Too bad, you can't really get in shape until you retire." Some of 'em rally rack up the miles.

After today's 51 miles I'm at 8,113 for the year in addition to around 40 hours of cyclo cross and mtb riding.

Also of note: no flats in 2010. There I said it! On today's ride there were 4 flats between three riders and none were mine. Continental 4000 S tires rule.

7,854 miles. Only 52 miles more than last year, but, considering I took most of September off as solidarity with my wife who was recovering from a nasty crash, I'm amazed I even matched last year's total much less passed it.

Next year I'm aiming for 8k even!

Total elevation gained?

41 miles today good ride perfect weather.

Total miles this year 6510
Missed my goal by 989 miles
Missed Last Year by 332 miles
Average ride this year 30 miles per ride
I rode 8 less days this year

Next year will be better

Not many here, only 4092.

I did manage to ride at least a little each month:

Jan.....25.9 miles
Feb....09.1 miles
Mar...401.0 miles
Apr...569.01 miles
May..749.66 miles
Jun...521.82 miles
Jul....633.23 miles
Aug...186.48 miles
Sep...282.29 miles
Oct...417.66 miles
Nov...282.14 miles
Dec.....13.4 miles


The bikes I rode this year and the mileage for each bike:
Volae Tour.................1270.4 miles
Easy Racer Tour Easy..1671.90 miles
Sun EZ Sport...............296.50 miles
Trek 820.....................818.90 miles
Sun EZ Tandem..............34.1 miles (all but 6 of these were with Mortimer, my pet skeleton)

I'm content with these results considering I work 50hr's per week, need to drive my wife everywhere she wants / needs to be, and made several moves with the daughters from home to school and back again.

Ha ha ha. Last laugh is ours. It's only a matter of time.....

BTW, welcome to the forum, pcad. You finally earned it.

For me, reviewing my logs in Nov found some dups that I deleted and between the weather and holidays, there was no way to make up the lost miles. Hence I was 407 mi short of my revised 2010 goal of 7K. But I did blow 2009 and my orignal 2010 goal of 5K out of the h2o

The weather is always nice in NY.

Well I feel like a slug. You rode twice what I did, both commuting and overall. I did 2240 miles commuting, 3730 miles total for the year. I thought I would put more miles on this year because my commute more than doubled, but it just meant I didn't ride as much.

Bud comes through my neighborhood sometimes on his way to work and has pointed out some good alternate routes.

7052 this year in 244 rides of which 151 were commuting to work.

Wait until your 70 and then you can brag. I only got 6255, but I'm 17 years older than you. I will read your total miles when your 70 and I'm 87. Fair enough.

I average 15-20,000 ft weekly, more or less. I figure between 800,000 and 1,000,000 ft.

Who's bragging?

Me neither.

4588 miles, 104 rides. Only went on 16 rides for Oct,Nov,Dec. Just reset the Odometer. Start again tomorrow.

8512. I think that's a record for me. I got about 8300 last year. I'm in a rut.

And zero commuting miles, 12,000 miles is a lot of frickin miles , good job old man.

Finished with 9025 miles

I got somewhere over 7,000 miles, no commuting miles this past year.

I'm almost embarrassed to report only 3,014 miles.

Fixed gear S/S 326
Commuter 2485
Kestrel 1520
Roubaix 3146
TOTAL 7477

I was looking for 8000, but had parental health issues this summer. Maybe this year.
Still, I managed 5 double centuries and to come in not-last in a serious time trail (OK, it was next to last, but still....)

So "clue" me in here folks, is there something "evil or wrong" with, "commuter miles"?? Seems to me it shouldn't matter as long as it's miles ridden, dirt, road, commuter, utility, etc.**********

Jeezelpete no. I'm proud of my commuter miles. I report them just because that's how I keep track of them. In a way, they are tougher miles than the road miles in that I do them rain or shine, baking or frozen, night or day.

And indeed all miles 'count'
Except those weasels who try to toss in indoor 'miles'

Fellow weasels, please line up here behind me!
