Somewhere between 4000-4500. I switched computers this year and don't think I got all the mileage recorded.

Over 2,200 even though down a couple months due to two separate injuries.
All I have to do is bang out about 300 miles before the end of the year and I jump into the next category.

I'll end with somewhere around 5500 miles. I broke my collarbone and a couple of ribs this year so I was off the bike for a lot longer than I thought I would be. A lot of those miles were also a lot slower than I'd care to admit, especially on BF! It took me quite a while to get back to where I was before the accident.

Most of you will never catch me. And if you rode more than I did, you're completely insane anyway.

What's the current BikeForums B.S. multiplier for converting actual to posted speed/distance? 1.3? 1.4?

This is "How many miles?!".
Since you are averaging close to 10K posts per year I doubt you even have time to ride your bike.

I thought Pcad owned the rights to this thread.
FWIW - outside: 4175 miles, 219.48 hours (and that's most likely a wrap for this year)
Inside: 78.4 hours and counting

78.4 hours inside? i'd probably go postal if i spend that many hours on trainers/rollers

I don't want to sound like a shill, but these rollers are without a doubt the best rollers I've ever ridden. So much better than the stationary trainer I rode last year.

This was my very first year. Bought the bike in January,and only really started riding seriously in the late spring. I didn't keep a strict count, but best estimate is between 2,000 and 2,300.

I am averaging well over 12K miles per year since I joined here, so what can I tell you?
