Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I have no effin' clue because I don't have a computer...but a little back-of-the-envelope estimation would say I probably did about 140 rides, at an average of 50 miles each, which yields approx 7000 miles.

That sounds about right.

Great numbers everyone. Congratulations to all!!!

Miles - 6,551
Hours - 397.9
Climbing - 304,701
kilojoules - 239,449
rides - 191
Smiles - countless
Tears - same as above.

Not bad for someone that was told 1 1/2 years ago that he would never ride a bike again.

6190 miles, 336 hours. 224,500kj. This was a major achievement for me as I am still recovering from a serious car accident. I'm way weaker than 2010 but look out 2012!

So glad you can be riding. I'd hate to have to quit.

Bike: 163h 44m 45s - 3148.82 Mi
Run: 66h 57m 21s - 551.01 Mi
Swim: 28h 16m 22s - 89300 Yd

Was a triathlete until mid April, when I got a condition which prevented me from running (and I chose not to swim). Biking suffered a lot too. I had surgery to fix it, and hopefully it worked as I've done a couple 20 min runs in the past 2 weeks. I'd like to see that bike number triple in 2012, as I'm taking a year off tri's to build back a running base.

Not 100% sure but somewhere close to or just over 4,000 since Jan 1 of this year. I got my hybrid at the end July of 10 and the road bike in mid Oct of 10. I never kept track of the yearly miles but since I bought the hybrid, I have over 5,400 miles between the two bikes, per their computers.

WTF is a megajoule?

Well done Grumpy. This year it was Pcad Lite®. 10,107 miles. On the other hand, considering I only had about 2800 miles by mid June, that was a lot of saddle time in the second half of the year.
