Right around 5,500 miles for the year.

2013 I'm going to shoot for 10k.

no idea how many miles.

goals: win a road race, commute more, start racing cross

2012 was a pretty low-mileage year for me. i've been riding pretty big since november tho.

for 2013 i want to continue to feel good, have fun and get more involved in track here in sd.

2012 was a low milage year for me too... Between injuries and not having health insurance, all in all a weak year.

2013: I want to race

Mileage is not as important to me. I'm focusing on getting back to my ideal weight.

Due to some injuries, an insane work schedule, other BS that kept my riding down to a minimum, in addition to overindulging in booze and food, I topped out in mid-2012 at a whopping 235 lb.

Made some slight lifestyle adjustments and just started riding the **** out of my bikes again. Zero excuses. Not focusing on numbers, mileage, etc. Just riding.

Ended up dropping 40 lb. over the course of 5 months. Currently weighing in at 195 lb.

Goal for 2013 is to get back to my ideal weight of 175 lb.

2012 I did somewhere between 4000-5000 miles. Mostly commuting and some longer road rides (about one 40+ mile ride/week).
2013 I'd like to focus on doing more long road rides (40 miles+) and do some touring

2012: 2200 miles
2013 goal: more miles than 2012.

That's exactly the weight I want to get down to.

I was down to about 179, and went back up to 199 :C Almost back into Clyde territory.

I got down to 204, but I'm currently bouncing between 210-215 now. I'm aiming for 180.

What did you use to track this? Is it a gps or something on a smartphone?

I think he uses a Garmin Edge 500 or 800, and exports the data to Strava.

There is an app for smartphones though, if your batter can handle it. Give it a search in your appstore. "Strava" is the name.

Never bothered to use strava enough, and I don't have a computer on the Leader yet. The computer on my roadie hit 1000 miles though.

I want to actually track how much I ride this year.

jandro do you own a power meter or is that some sort of calculated W value?

also aren't you smallish? (like ~140 lbs)

if you weigh 140lbs and you can rlly do 348W for 5 min then you need to enter some road road races with ~3-8 min power climbs STAT.

strava calculates wattage based on speed and elevation i think without a power meter

lame

I did around 8,000 miles this year but wanna start doing more 70+ mile rides atleast once a week and start racing cross as I have cross bike now. And to also get a drivers license so I can potentially start driving to the track to learn.

Final Tally on Bicycle Riding for 2012:
2009 Schwinn Cutter Fixed Gear: 1553 miles, 39%
1994 Nishiki Sport XRS Hybrid: 867 miles, 22%
1983 Raleigh Marathon 2-speed: 853 miles, 21%
1983 Raleigh Super Course 12-speed: 661 miles, 17%
1966 Raleigh DL-1 3-speed: 62 miles, 2%
1973 Schwinn Varsity Townie: 4 miles, 0.1%
Total: 4000 miles (exactly!)

Goals for 2013? Meh. I'll figure that out later. I ride for fun.
