895 metres. Heard a funny noise, stopped to check it out. Rim was cracked at 2 spokes, turned round at the 447.5 metre mark, rode home to sulk.

You didn't get out one of your other bicycles to ride?

Same here. It snowed on the 1st*, had wind gusts up to 35mph on the 2nd, and today it's 16°F with a windchill "real feel" of 2°F. I might ride tomorrow, definitely Saturday... No rush, there's 360-something days left to go.
* edit: oh wait, it only snowed in the morning. In the afternoon I was getting hammered at a champagne brunch.

I've also used up 2 of my 50 car driving days for the year.
The m/c comes out tommorrow.

Oh look, it's another idiot!
Newsflash, Mr. Panty-Waist: My 2 month old nephew can put in saddle time. My 93 year old grandmother can put in saddle time. Yet oddly, neither of them can ride 20 miles at a stretch. Hmm... but they're not weenies, right?
******bag.

Time is the more valid measure. Riding 1 hour with a 20 mph tail wind is not the same as riding 1 hour into a 20 mph headwind. Guess which is the better workout?

As of this morning, 13.23 miles, all commuting yesterday and today. In my defense, it was 11 degrees when I left this morning, 13 yesterday and something like 18 when I rode home last night. And it's supposed to snow / rain the next 6 days :-( Looks like my snowshoe miles will top my riding miles for a while (have about 4 of those so far this year).

Take my commute home yesterday.
Over an hour to go 14 miles on a fat tired knobby mountain bike over compacted snow, snow drifts, and ice.
One heck of a workout.
Then we have the same route clear using a skinny tired fixed gear or my tarmac. Gee I wonder what is the better workout?

If time is your measure ... the slower you go, the better!

i like distance - time is not interesting to me by itself, plus then people start throwing in trainer miles.
97 km as of today's 42 km rain-ride, at an avg speed of about 25-27 km/h.

Zero outside, it's been snowing too much. I've done several hours on the trainer though.

...of workout intensity, at least.
Time is the more valid measure of duration, just as mileage is the more valid measure of distance. Since the thread title specifically asks about mileage, and doesn't address duration or workout intensity, it seems silly to cloud the issue with those data points. At best it's an attempt to brag.

Don't mince words
75.
On the trainer these next few days as it's raining like crazy outside -- storm 1 of 3 predicted to come through.
