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!

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

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

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

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.
