End of Year: Mileage (nerdy stats alert)

My spreadsheet has spoken.

Total Miles for 2009: 3,298.

Highest monthly total: August (486)
Lowest monthly total: November (97) - eternal illness / shit weather

Solo leisure / training rides: 2,493 (76%)
Group leisure / training rides: 261 (8%)
Sportives: 230 (7%)
Racing: 210 (6%)
Commuting / Short Rides: 102 (3%)

Longest rides: 94, 85, 74, 74, 60.

Median ride: 21.5 miles.

I've only been measuring non-commuting miles since september:

Total miles 9/1/09 - 12/31/09 = 1,175

Highest monthly total: September (711)
Lowest monthly total: November (139) - travel/cracked rib

Longest ride: 123 miles (sportif).

Wait a sec, the same program is telling me:

o Total Miles
o 1,434 mi

o Total Hours
o 88:49:51

o Total Rides
o 52

o Highlights

o Biggest Ride

o 4.6 points

o Max Effort
o 574.4 watts

medians
distance: 28 miles
duration: 1h:43minutes
speed: 16.7mph (T.T)

What are 'points'? (in biggest ride / climb)

Points are calculated as (watts/kg)^3 at each data point. The points for each data point are then summed up to give you a point total for the ride, normalized by a constant to scale the points measure for easy viewing. 10 points is an average ride. 100 points is epic.

Jan 09: 297, Jan 10: 244
Feb 09: 196, Feb 10: 307

shasta i still dont understand the points system. what program is it? how does it determine where the data points occur?

strava.com, it's their own rating system which is tbh i don't quite get 100% either. Data points are gps based so the variables are your speed and elevation.

Jan 10: 400 (includes 75 miles from 12/31)
Feb 10: 689

Mar 09: 239, Mar 10: 258
Jan-Mar 09: 673, Jan-Mar 10: 809

Last March I had a ten-day stretch where I couldn't ride because of a calf injury*, this March I've had an eleven-day stretch where I couldn't ride because of tonsilitis. A cursed month.

*leg muscle, not baby cow

March 2010 = 988 miles (1590km)
Total Hours = 60h52m
Avg Speed = 16.2mph (26.1km/h)

March will probably be my highest mileage of the year as I focused on climbing and endurance rides for most of the month.

Jan-Mar 2010: 2,177 miles

That's good going

April 2010 = 742 miles (1194km)
Total Hours = 42h49m
Avg Speed = 17.3mph (27.8km/h)

Took a week off for rest (eh, was out of town on travel)

Jan-Apr 2010: 2,864 miles

My year to date is rubbish - 1,109 miles to the end of april, which is between 250 and 300 miles each month (v cold Jan and Feb, and away for three weeks straddling March and April), with zero long rides. So my fitness is okay but my stamina is no doubt gone and I'm just treading water. Am envious/scared of most of your accounts.

April 2010: 416.5 miles (April 2009: 308.5 miles)

Year-to-date: 1,225.8 miles (Jan-Apr 2009: 982.0 miles)

May 2010: 258.2 miles (May 2009: 369.5)
That's a big drop-off compared to last month and considerably less than I managed last year. I've got so much work on at the moment that it's difficult to fit much riding in, which is frustrating. It's going to be even worse for the next month or so - I might end up racing on Saturdays and doing no other riding at all, surely not a great idea.

Year-to-date: 1,484 (2009: 1,351)

May 2010 = 997 miles
Total Hours = 60h44m

Bigger month than expected (training plan is 10-12 hours/week) mostly due to a 120 mile competitive group ride ("NOTE: NOT A RACE") and bringing my bike with me on a 5 day vacation.

Jan-May 2010: 3,861 miles

May: 388 miles, almost all commuting. Meh.

June 2010: 281.8 miles (June 2009: 272.5 miles).

Six-month total: 1,765.8 (2009: 1,624)

Not a great month because I've got so much work on. Still, only about another ten days of the insane workathon to get through and then life should return to normal.

Six months of 2010 rides

70-80 miles: 1
60-70 miles: 0
50-60 miles: 0
40-50 miles: 7
30-40 miles: 19
20-30 miles: 18
10-20 miles: 18
0-10 miles: 3

June 2010 = 801 miles
Total Hours = 46h23m

My first month of racing (5 races). Should be tapering a bit as the season progresses. Starting to feel fatigued. May take a week off soon.

Jan-June 2010: 4,562 miles

July 2010: 495.6 miles (July 2009: 324.5 miles)

Jan-July 2010: 2,261.4 miles (Jan-July 2009: 1,948.5 miles)

A good month, by my standards.

July 2010 = 866 miles
Total Hours = 49h17m

Jan-July 2010: 5,428 miles = riding cross country to NYC and back.

Should be tapering a bit as the season progresses.

lies obviously.

riding cross country to NYC and back

I'm still well short of NYC. Currently about 100 miles short of Newfoundland, floundering in the Atlantic.

July - finally made 500 miles (503 to be exact).

23 July - 20 Aug = 557 miles in 29 days
That'll be my peak for the year. Sadly my monthly total for August won't be anything like as high with the return to work denting my riding time. Annoying that my lengthy holiday has coincided with lengthy shit weather in Britain.

August 2010: 449.9 miles (August 2009: 486 miles)

2010 so far: 2,711.3 miles (2009 equivalent: 2,492 miles)

(Note: all my 2009 year-to-date totals on this thread have been 57 miles too low due to a mistake I've just discovered - I'm sure this won't trouble anyone too much)

sb

Back to work and crap weather in September, so the miles have dropped off.

Sep 2010: 260 miles (2,971 for the year)
Sep 2009: 231 miles (2,723 for the year)

Still comfortably ahead of last year, but my target of 4,000 miles for the year is looking unlikely now.

357 miles in September, mainly thanks to a week away. Commutey commute commute.

Oct 2010: 381.7 miles (year to date = 3,352.9 miles)
Oct 2009: 301 miles (year to date = 3,024.5 miles)

Half-term holiday week just finished and got over 160 miles in to bump up this month's total.

A rather underwhelming 91.3 miles for November, though to be fair, only the criminally insane are cycling at the moment.

Oh god I am going to jail

What have you done?!

296 miles in November but all of 3 miles so far in December so my 4,000 mile yearly target is now pretty definitely out of reach.

What have you done?!
I believe he was admitting criminal insanity (see above)

yeah basically. went out on friday night (when we got 8in) and it was frikkin brutal (not cold, just slow-going). took ages to get anywhere, and wrestling the bike made it feel like i'd been beaten up by the time i got home.

2010 stats:
7,993 miles
450k ft climbing
18.0mph avg

Biggest ride = 151 miles
Biggest climb = 3,857 feet (which I did on 2 occasions)
Wins: 3* (*should have been 4, judges screwed me with a DNF fml)
Podiums: 7

2010:
cycling:
5099 mi
biggest ride: 103 mi
biggest climb: unknown/measurement issues. probly left hand to ward, ~3600 depending on where you imagine the climb starting. also did 4000 ft combo climb (a 2000 road climb, throw on running shoes, 2000 running climb, ending at summit of Mt. Evans, ~14100 ft. then ran/rode down).
podiums: whenever i ride

running:
465 mi (from june to nov)
biggest run: 26.2
biggest climb: 5400 ft/2:24

judges screwed me with a DNF fml
sorry but lol, holy shit. i know another person that happened to- he soloed in, judges missed it, then he missed protest.

Been too ill to do the calculations for this, but will have my (less impressive) stats up at some point

Not enough, and not enough with the computer on. I need to put the rinky dink computer on the commuter bike to actually capture a bunch of riding.

started this year off well with 45 mins of rollers as jetlag had me awake at 5am.

3,893 miles for 2010. Pretty disappointing. I'd have broken last year's (just over 4,000) easily without accidents & resultant injuries but you can't really say that.

Also, roller miles don't count :)

Right, time to crank out the stats. December was another hopeless month: officially ( http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/2010/december.html ) the coldest December for 100 years, snow and ice making it impossible to cycle for large chunks, and then a horrible cough-virus-fever thing which I'm only just starting to shake off. A miserable 118.1 miles.

Total for the year: 3,562.3 miles

I'll make it just over 300 miles for January tomorrow (31st!) unless anything unusual happens. Not a single pleasure ride among them.

February: 258 miles, 165 of them in the last week.

Jan:
817 miles
41k feet climbing

Feb:
584 miles
23k feet climbing

YTD:
1401 miles
64k feet climbing

Feb: about 340 miles, not a single long or fun ride. Meh.

March: 370.7 miles
First decent month of the year, not that it's done me any good in races. I seem to have improved my endurance at the expense of any speed.

378 miles for me. Also discovered I'd been overestimating my (current, extended) preferred route to work by 0.8 miles, so have taken 15 miles off both March and February in penance.

I'm certainly in decent form over shortish distances for my first two fun rides of the year in April, but I've got to start putting in the weekend miles to get the stamina up.

YTD 1018.5 mi
MTD 547.66 mi

You guys, the end of the month is tomorrow.

And holy shit at Hunter!!!!!!!!!! Wow.

ha chipping away, one commute at a time.

You guys, the end of the month is tomorrow

I don't commute (I live so close to where I work it's easier to walk) or do any really short rides. Most weeks I'm too busy with work and childcare to fit in more than two rides (including races) so I know in advance that my monthly total won't change today (unless I get the sack).
My month was made up of: 29, 71, 27, 16, 31, 41, 32, 38, 24, 35 and 28.

376 for the month. Slowly getting stronger.

Mar:
769 miles
27k feet of climbing

YTD:
2170 miles
91k feet climbing

I'm the opposite to NBS. Not really done any longer/pleasure rides at all this year, it's all 6-12 mile commutes of various kinds. I did 6 more miles than the figure above, for the purposes of accuracy.

I think in the interests of fairness we should combine my total with Mark's in future, to see what my total would be if I did any commuting, or what Mark's total would be if he did anything other than commuting. Then our stats might be slightly more competitive with those from the other side of the Atlantic.

I agree with this suggestion. Commuting plus fun = 616 miles per month! Go us!

how's your vert doing? i think shasta's gonna poop on us all from a great height

I live in Minnesota.

ive ridden the bluff down by winona and lacrosse, they were pretty big.

bluffs

April 2010: 418.5 miles
(though if we start the month from the 2nd of April and finish it on 1st May it comes to 482.1 miles).

NB - this is my total before we add on Mark C's commutes.

Apr:
865 miles
36.5k feet of climbing

YTD (includes 5.1.11):
3101 miles
128k feet climbing

April was 440 miles, 25k of climb.

Apr:
524.6 mi
~28.5k vert

381 mi
27.5k vert

that's what i'm tracking w/ the garmin anyway, throw in another 25-35 mi commuting per week on top

A pretty pathetic 306 miles in April, which includes the 59 I did on the day of the London Classic. The double-double bank holiday basically took me out of the game for 10 days, and not being able to ride the fnrttc to Bognor lost me 80 more.

Count: 20 Activities
Distance: 557.35 mi
Time: 38:28:46 h:m:s
Elevation Gain: 30,243 ft

May: 401.5 miles

Pretty good considering I didn't ride at all for a week due to a cold.

426 miles for me, and that included two pleasure rides! Woohoo! Definitely need to do more. NBS, if you ever fancy a relaxing jaunt (i.e. a recovery ride, for you) out of London with Chris and I, let us know.

That sounds like a nice idea for a weekend when I'm not racing.

Here's the map for the route:

May:
763 miles
21.5k feet of climbing

YTD:
3790 miles
152k feet climbing

I've been going balls out on my commute the last few days (stretching 7 miles to 10-12 each time) to compensate for being on holiday for 10 days this month, and assuming I make it home in one piece tonight, I'll just about break the 300 mile marker. Which is a wee bit disappointing for June tbh.

I haven't looked at mine recently, but it will be awful. I'm in the middle of a five-week spell of insane workload and can't ride at all during the week and only have time for one brief ride at the weekend (so last week I clocked up a miserable 29 miles). Roll on 15th July when my life returns to normal.

June:

Count: 25
Dist: 653.70 mi
Time: 43:01:41 h:m:s
Elevation Gain: 32,838 ft

these figures include my evening ride home, not yet completed. i'd probably be over 700 miles if i stayed on the road, but i've been mtbing a bit.

Count: 12
Dist: 307.57
Time: ?
Elevation Gain: 13,975

doesn't include city riding. july should be better.

JUNE
(two trips out of town... challenging to get training in):

576 miles
20.1k feet of climbing

YTD:
4367 miles
169k feet climbing

June 2010 = 801 miles
Total Hours = 46h23m

My first month of racing (5 races). Should be tapering a bit as the season progresses. Starting to feel fatigued. May take a week off soon.

Jan-June 2010: 4,562 miles

― _▂▅▇█▓▒░◕‿‿◕░▒▓█▇▅▂_ (Steve Shasta), Saturday, July 3, 2010 11:40 PM (11 months ago)

Gawd, how did I find the time last year!

u were young u_u

June = 264.8 miles (almost half of which was in the first 5 days, and hardly any cycling since then)

July:
Count: 25 Activities
Distance: 758.41 mi
Time: 50:54:09 h:m:s
Elevation Gain: 42,804 ft

YTD:
Count: 158 Activities
Distance: 3,565.16 mi
Time: 245:42:50 h:m:s
Elevation Gain: 159,555 ft

July - 423 miles. I just wish my bike wasn't making more creaks and ticks than a clock factory with wooden floorboards.

JULY
Crashed hard and spent 8 days off the bike but even still:

668 miles
24k feet of climbing

YTD:
5035 miles
193k feet climbing

I need to up my work rate.

not even posting my numbers, they a fukkn disgrace

^^

tho i got in a good 125km over the weekend - going to ramp up training rides after work in the next three weeks to be ready for CX race.

^^

Aw guys - you have to share the bad months so you can triumph when it's going good!

I don't really have "numbers". track my rides v poorly

<small>158</small>

July: 285mi (plus about 100 unrecorded commuting miles) 16,900ft ascent.

Didn't ride for 8 days post-being-hit-by-car and most of my racing was short-distance track stuff. Really feeling like the long days are slipping away too fast :/

yeah but you live in Cali so

Couldn't post before (on holiday), but July for me was 362 miles. Total for August up until this morning was 0, but did a 43.5 mile ride today.

August: 364 miles

BUT that doesn't really tell the story. August was a very strange month. No cycling at all for the first nine days (foreign holiday), 362 miles in the middle 18 days (so at a rate that would have given 626 miles for the month), and then no cycling at all for the final four days (due to crash). Those 13 days of inactivity have left my year-to-date total falling behind the 2010 equivalent for the first time since February.

452 miles for me, over 1/4 of which was riding to Coventry.

518 for me.

Distance: 665.43 mi
Time: 44:22:39 h:m:s
Elevation Gain: 30,616 ft

AUGUST
Starting to taper down and took a week off the bike while on vacation in Hawaii:

629 miles
27k feet of climbing

YTD:
5,664 miles
220k feet climbing

I think I have done MAYBE 80 miles this month but it's all been mountain biking so there's gotta be a multiplier or something right

Sept:
Distance: 613.93 mi
Time: 40:20:44 h:m:s
Elevation Gain: 27,962 ft

YTD:
Distance: 4,811.68 mi
Time: 319:40:38 h:m:s
Elevation Gain: 215,682 ft

257 for September, less than half August's total, but I have my shoulder to blame.

282 for September, fair enough considering I did nothing for the first week while recovering from a crash.

SEPTEMBER
576 miles
25k feet of climbing

YTD:
6,240 miles
245k feet climbing

413 miles for September for me. Rubbish commuting, but the trip to Holland made it respectable.

Just 252 miles for October, slipping ever further behind last year's total.

364 miles in October, getting there.

310 miles in October, assuming I just take the simple route home tonight. A bit disappointing - just haven't had much incentive to extend my route lately. Meh.

317 miles for October. Would have passed 400 easily if not for last weekend's crash.

Season's done so switched back to base training with climbing. These tallies might get weird because I've just started running and not sure if it's parsed out or not.

October
582 miles
34k feet of climbing

YTD:
6,803 miles
276k feet climbing

October running:
26 miles
3.6k feet of climbing

170 miles in November and 253 miles in December. Maybe not all that impressive, but both about double the 2010 totals which meant I managed to claw my way back and exceed my 2010 annual total right at the death.

2011 total: 3,597 (35 miles more than 2010)

120 rides, mean distance 29.98 miles, mode 28.3 miles.

Longest ride 71 miles.

I did 3015 miles in the saddle in 2011, having done 839 in the last five months of 2010, after I got my first bike in a decade in July 2010.

234 miles in November, 391 miles in December, which was my third highest monthly total (518 in August and 407 in July). In December last year I rode only 19 miles; mind you, it was 26 degrees warmer (centigrade) this Boxing Day than last year - it wasn't riding weather at -14. I rode at least 10 miles every day from 21st December to 2nd January, covering well over 250 miles in that time.

Oh, and 98 workouts from July 2010 to end of 2010, and 242 in 2011.

Ascended 92198 feet in 2011.

229 hours and 24 min utes in the saddle in 2011.

4,131 miles in 2011
3,893 miles in 2010
4,036 miles in 2009

I think I've reached stability. Very few long rides this year, no sportives at all, but three night rides partly made up for it. No reason to think that, barring injury, it should be any different in 2012.

I did manage at least 300 miles every month apart from December, which was a tiny goal of sorts.

This year I want to do more miles than last year overall, ideally as close to 4000 as possible. I also want to do more long rides; I've rarely gone over 50 miles, and most rides are 20ish.

not actually sure what I've done this year but it's only around 1500miles, which is poor. I need to pick one recording device and stick with it, that's for sure.

I've set 3000miles as a target for this year (getting out on non-commutes is bloody difficult with kids)which will include at least one multi-day thing (potentially a couple of TdF stage finishes in July) and a few night rides - the December one was freaking ace.... and a bit cold; down to -4, but dry fortunately.

1500 miles last year that is of course

My main competitor has decided not to do our monthly or yearly challenges anymore. I am sad. But understanding. http://sickmouthy.com/2012/01/06/why-do-i-cycle/

it may be upthread but i didn't see it- how are you guys calculating this?

Cycle computers, from $5 up to GPS units. Also you can us things like the strava App to log on your smart phone.

cheers

I use an app and website called Endomondo(.com). There are probably better for cycling specifically, but this tracks other sports too, which I found useful.

I use this and log each ride in a spreadsheet. Because I like spreadsheets.

Oh my God

447 miles in January, 21k feet of climb, had a PR on my hill climb this morning.

686 km mainly on the trainer so it doesn't count. Best January ever. Might go home and round it off to 700 it is crazy warm this evening in Pittsburgh.

Doesn't count ^

257 miles for me.

Count: 23 Activities
Distance: 476.34 mi
Time: 30:49:53 h:m:s

almost half on the trainer. actually trainer miles count for more if there's any resistance on there imo - no breaks, no downhills.

If I could make the trainer talk to the computer properly I could get average speed and power for the month. I averaged around 210W over last weekend's sessions. I've been mainly working through 'flat' profiles or the rolling hills profile which has a lot more up than down.

Time to start doing some interval work.

And no wind, Hunter.

247 miles for me. Rubbish, but honestly, I'm just not that into riding at the moment.

Ah, there you are Mark. Post for you: Cycling Books

8,119 miles in 2011.

873 miles in January despite being out of the country for the first week of the year.

Peter Grasswich

347km for Feb which is rubbish, too much work, illness and travel getting in the way.

1033km YTD

327 miles for Feb, 585 for the year so far (well up on last year)

Distance: 607.81 mi
Time: 41:56:44 h:m:s
Elevation Gain: 24,512 ft

386 miles
17,732 feet
23:40:57

378 miles (my best March, following my best February)

Just 268 miles for April (compared to well over 400 in the previous two Aprils). Rubbish month: the weather and health were not on my side.

Count: 34 Activities
Distance: 588.88 mi
Time: 42:58:18 h:m:s
Elevation Gain: 32,065 ft

Doing more mtb, cuts down apparent mileage.

yeah I was just thinking "man what's with only 588 miles"

443 miles
26:32:55
19,605 feet

305 miles for April. Just starting to extend my commutes for fun. First Friday Night Ride on 1st June (you ever thought about doing one, NBS?).

It's unnatural, I tell you

So far for 2012:

Activity count: 42
Total distance: 308.42 miles
Total ride time: 19:59:28
Avg. Distance: 7.34 miles
Avg. Ride Time: 28:34
Avg. Speed: 15.43 mph

This is basically commuting back and forth to work. The weather's finally changing for good here so I plan to do a lot more and longer rides. I'm signed up for the Bike MS Pedal to the Point ride in August (150 miles/2 days) and I may sign up for the NYC Century in September.

It is unnatural, you're right, and I used to think as you do. Then I gave it a go. It does have a real charm to it, honest!

Tonight's may be interesting... Standing water in a lot of places, deep water at buttsbury ford (you may have spotted cav wading in it this week). Am looking at big overshoes and sealskinz socks. Should be fantastic.

Good luck you two. Where are you riding to this time - are you heading anywhere Cavendish's lake? I wasn't working today so went off up into the Essex lanes (56 miles) - there was indeed a lot of surface water and the occasional section of road that had turned into a stream or pond. Also - it's cold. I had to wear winter tops and a gillet in the end. I set off (foolishly) in shorts, but ended up riding to my nearest bike shop and buying some leg warmers. I got a rear wheel puncture at the 41-mile mark in the rain, which wasn't fun to sort out. Then literally as soon as I got back on the bike the chain came off and I had to sort that out.

It's not just the riding in the countryside in the pitch black bit about these night rides that fails to attract me. It's the fact it's at night time, when I'd rather be sleeping. But I'll try to hook up with you two for some kind of (daylight) ride at some point, if I can overcome the large obstacle that is most of London between us.

Tonight's was supposed to be just me (and the regulars) but I managed to pick up a bug from Vic and don't want to be too far from home iyswim... So I'm hopefully going to go to Brighton on Sunday morning along with a bunch of veteran HGVs.
Riding at night in the countryside is very liberating, strong lights definitely required but it's truly great.

Oh, and they're going through, or past buttsbury ford. I can send you a gps of last year if you want?

Yeah, why not

when I'd rather be sleeping

Again, I 100% agree BUT occasionally it's worth doing something outside your comfort zone. And this is one of those times. Riding in the dark countryside is awesome, when you're in a group, and have a half-decent light.

315 miles for May. Still below average, though I did have some lovely town riding last weekend in the sunshine. And tomorrow's night ride to Whitstable will kick off June with a handy 80 mile boost.

Distance: 630.79 mi
Time: 49:11:27 h:m:s
Elevation Gain: 31,619 ft

16 rides, 33 hours, 514 miles, 25k feet of climb

first time over 500, woo.

night ride ... 80 mile

sounds fun!

353.6 miles, back on track after a poor April

June: 365 miles, quite a lot of that in the rain

547km 4686m of climbing for June a lot in bastard hot heat

Distance: 742.93 mi
Time: 53:43:26 h:m:s
Elevation Gain: 52,252 ft

Record-breaking July for me: 524 miles. This also includes my new record for a week: 224 miles (not counting a few cycling holidays when I was a teenager when I probably did more than this).

Garmin stats:
Count: 17 Activities
Distance: 521.29 mi
Time: 30:53:13 h:m:s
Elevation Gain: 6,397 m (or 20,987 feet if you prefer)
Avg Speed: 16.9 mph

However, it's even better than that because I didn't ride until 5th July so I can keep adding to that total until Saturday to get a 'month' - at the moment I'm on 592 miles for the last 30 days so I should be able to bump that over the 600-mark.

I'm very pleased with that, but my mind boggles when I realise that Krakow does double this every month on a unicycle riding up Ben Nevis in the snow.

i'll spare you guys the excuses

june was 452 miles, which was a falloff from may, which was 518 miles ... what can i say, summer has many temptations.

622 miles for the 'month' 5 July - 4 August

>710 miles for the last 30 days. I will almost certainly never top this.

Topped it. Now at 720 miles for the last 30 days; 224 for this week (so far); 325 for this month so far (which would get me well over 900 for the whole month if I carried out at that rate). Will be off the bike for about a fortnight shortly, though.

ah yeah, training for vacation

407 miles for August, the vast majority of it in the first 12 days.

~900km ~9000m climbing can't be more exact due to some gamrin screwups this month. Good month, though.

501 miles, 23k feet of climbing. now to sacrifice my fitness via two weeks of vacation.

279 for September at an average speed of 18.5mph (much faster than normal - in addition to races I've done a few training rides at 19-20mph)

August (thru 8/16)

grueling (actually i have ridden my bike to the rail station so it's more like 20 miles or so for sept)

Sounds like you need some proper cycling trousers

i am planning to wear 25 lbs lead trousers to ensure quality workouts.

Just 241 for October. I'll need to do 300 per month for November and December if I'm to reach my target of 4,000 for the year.

297 for October.

I can probably scrape together 100km if I include bike share rides in London and Melbourne, a ride to the DMV, going to work and a jaunt to a pub near cambridge. I have already nearly done that much this weekend.

damn, "posts that hint at the poster's rich, fun-packed, fulfilling life outside of ilx"

yeah, i've probly got about 30 junk miles to put on top of the 297 just going to the railstation and dr/rehab appointments. but if my miles aren't garminized, they don't count.

Should have tagged that </BRAGGIN'>

Surprised at the amount of time for some reason.

Next year: climbing goal instead of mileage? (Eek)

I thought I'd be able to pack a decent bit of riding in over the Christmas holiday, but the seemingly relentless record-breaking shit weather put paid to that.

233 miles for December.
3,800 exactly for the year.

Strava has me at 3353km on the road, heavily weighted to the back end of the year, over 3000km June to the end. There's probably ~5000km including riding on the trainer which doesn't count but sets me a nicely attainable goal of 5000km on the road for the 2013.

35901m climbed as well

22.5km/h average speed for the year

only ~100km of that outside, too much snow and ice.

I see through your cunning ruse of measuring your 'rides' in kilometres to make the distance sound greater. I would like to re-report my total for January: I covered approximately 90 million inches last month.

I always report in kilometres, it's the global standard, miles are obtuse and archaic. Back in my teenage touring days I started using kilometres because maps are in kilometres and it makes navigation easier.

At work, if engineers want to wind me up they show me graphs in lbf or Foot Pounds, it owrks so I probably need to get out more.

remember that time nasa shot a mars orbiter into mars because gu'ment engineers used the metric system? that's what happens, ed.

think on that while munching your royale with cheese

March was 234 miles, well under average yet again, though the weather was terrible and I got tonsilitis.

Just under 230 miles for April, I'm about 25% down so far this year. April started OK until I got ill again then ended up spending 15 days in a row off the bike.

April was 405 miles, 26hr36min, 24k feet of climbing. Hoping to start commuting to my new job a couple times a week - about 50 miles.

I'm not at about 550 for the month from 21 May - 20 June, which is I think my second best ever.

^ 'not' = now (otherwise that post would be even more pointless)

Have done 467 in June but I'm unlikely to add to that before the end of the month due to a heavy schedule over the next few days, 529 from 28 May - 27 June.

i feel like half the times i post here i'm saying "been sick, not riding". every time the average temperature in SF changes by five degrees my body flips out.

611 miles in July

380 miles in July, with 8,900 ft of climb

compare May: 406 miles, 21,700 ft of climb

more of my mileage coming from a flat commute.

:/

615.8mi 46hr 35m 32,030ft

by far most of my mileage is my flat, slow commute.

I've had a pain in my left knee for the last couple of weeks. I haven't adjusted anything so the only thing I can think of is that it's because I've been riding much more than normal. It's not too bad, just irritating, and doesn't prevent me riding so at the moment I'm just ignoring it and carrying on. Is this unwise?

Check saddle height anyway, I felt weird on my bike but hasn't changed my saddle height. Measured it and it was about 30 mm(!) too low. It slipped. A lot.

Cleat + saddle position fixed my knee issues . I was told that nee should be directly over the pedal axle when the crank is horizontal and the cleat is centered under the widest part of the foot. The net result was the saddle moving back whilst staying at the same height, cleats moved back as well.

just under 400 miles for August - moved house in the middle of the month which obviously curtailed things a bit

375 miles for me in august

377 for August. 29 so far for September. On a new bike!

244 miles in August, my lowest in a long time

756.1mi, 50hr 16m. could use less qty, more quality, more fun.

It's great not having a job

Watching your rides on Strava has been making me jealous.

Managed approx 340 miles all-in this month, some of it mere pottles with toddlers on the Tarka trail, but most of it hard work on the new Cube. Not bad.

only 174 miles for me this month, despite being off work. I blame GTAV

off to majorca next week. intend to put in some serious miles & climbing

332 for me. Hopefully will be able to keep it going this autumn/winter - my club has had a relative surge in new members / interest in recent months thanks facebook/twitter/strava and there's no a reasonably group of about ten of us up for fast 50-mile rides each weekend once the racing's over.

Sick for a week, traveling for a week. I need to figure out a way to keep riding when I'm sick and don't feel like waking up early.

not a lot of quality, but feeling really good.

Strava says 299 miles, 19 hours, and 14,000 feet; didn't track the Tarka Trail pootles on it.

Just joined Endomondo. Just rejoined cycling after 15 years off the road. HFS at the folks who are doing +200mi, but I hope to join your ranks.

good to see new blood here, enjoy yr riding

Yes, hello! I'd suggest using Strava as well as Endomondo; I run them concurrently as there's a nice mix of data between the two.

feel like this thread is not so helpful with the strava thing over there. so like, i know ed is wearing out the tarmac all over melbourne :)

ed's numbers for this month are ridic

I don't know how on earth you can squeeze 800 miles in.

feel like this thread is not so helpful with the strava thing over there

Ah, but not everything goes up on Strava. Strava claims I only did 224 miles in October, but in reality it was 237 - a highly significant difference.

381.7mi 29hr 30m 34,554ft for me

actually shd be 403mi cos strava cut out on my whitey ride

I don't know how on earth you can squeeze 800 miles in.

i'm a bit selfish for one thing, but i get in a lot of commute miles- maybe 100 a week. i justify it as only about 30 or 40 minutes or so extra a day, because it's how i get to work. driving with traffic to work, plus parking and walking to office, is 45 or even 50 mins each way for me. bike/rail to work is 40 to 45 mins each way. riding in, door to desk is about an hour, home is about 65 mins. and i'm really lucky too, most ppl in my situation don't even have an extra 30 mins a day. or colorado's climate.

this all said, 800 was the most i've done under this arrangement, and i'm feelin pretty stale on it.

I missed out on 2000km by getting a bout of tonsillitis this week.

I'm stepping up the job search and also refocusing my riding a bit more on climbing so the milage is going to drop but I should be able to crack 8000km for the year. (I'm also down to 95kg from 102kg when I got to Australia and nearer 105kg at the start of the year so climbing is a lot more fun)

Kilometres don't count

Garmin doesn't do chains and furlongs

Fucking hellfire, Ed. Knew it was gonna be insane.

Strava says: 245.1mi, 16hr 1m, 11,564ft. Was busy this month with stuff other than cycling, which kept me down a bit.

I must say I am enjoying newer fitter me (and taking clothes to the dry cleaners to get taken in).

new job and lower temps mean less miles in november

218.7 miles, 14hrs 18mins, 9,187ft

212 miles for me (though nothing since Sunday, obviously)

More seriously looking for a job now so less riding, but more hills to compensate.

1,199.3km 48hr 32m 15,248m

December will be a bit broken up by going to London but I should still get my 8000km for the year, only 570km or so left to go.

A rubbish December for me (post-crash recovery and endless storms) - just 140 miles and most of that was in the last week.

My end of year total = 3,722 miles (compared to 3,800 for last year).

275 miles, 12,227 feet climbed in just shy of 20 hours in December.

For the year, 1,740 miles, 87,113 feet, and just shy of 120 hours. Which I'm pretty pleased with, given that all bar 250 of that has been since the start of July. Just wish I'd got back on the bike sooner and capped 3,000 again like I did in 2011.

340 miles, 23h 5m, 15,255ft in december

303 miles with17,000 feet of climbing in almost bang on 20 hours. That's March. 90 of those miles were on Saturday and today.

406 miles, 24k feet of climbing in 26 hours. Almost a third of that climbing happened yesterday.

361.5 for March

261 miles with 15,750 feet climbed. I missed a weekend when we were away which probably cost me 40-60 miles (the weather wasn't great). Got two bank holidays and a week off in May, so I'm hoping I can cap 400.

840 miles in april

I'm addicted

solid

Fuck me. You nutter. Well done.

About 480 miles this month. 460+ recorded on Strava plus 17ish the day after my birthday that I forgot to track. Not bad. 21,497 feet recorded, and I reckon I missed 800ish in the unrecorded ride.

Sounds strangely familiar...

412 for me this month.

890 miles inc a 115 yesterday (w/a top 5 on the rest & be thankful)

legs tired today

kinell!

I've done 180 this week, which is pretty good considering how wet it was at the start of the week. Back to work again next week, so the mileage will tumble again.

578.2mi 37h 39m 27,377ft

my cycling is just failing to thrive

615 miles for June, almost certainly my best ever for a month when I'm not on holiday. Up to 2,572 for the year so far, which is about 750 more than I've normally managed by this point. Woo!

travel + bike theft will get you: 237 miles, 15k feet of climbing

401 miles. 1,700ish for the year so far.

For whatever bizarre reason my gamin stopped recording after I put pressed the lap button after lunch today. Even though the total is right (at least in Garmin connect) there is not record of anything past 56.7km where lunch was.

242 miles with 10,000 feet climbed in July, which is disappointing, but I lost two weekends of riding to visiting friends, and I got hit by a car 13 days ago and haven't been on the Cube or done more than 10 miles in one go since then.

Oh and I missed about six miles due to Strava user error the other day. Cos that makes all the difference.

383 miles for me, well down on the previous month, but a holiday in France cut things down a bit.

Oh and I missed about six miles due to Strava user error the other day. Cos that makes all the difference.

Makes me feel a little better about having lost 4 miles yesterday as I forgot to hit the record button on Strava. Went back out and did the ride again, but not quite the same.

August: 575 miles

412.

About 216 miles, which is ok given I don't commute or stray too far.

281 miles due to a travel schedule that's going to get worse before it gets better

I guess I should take up running for when I'm on the road :/

Exactly 500 miles for September (I kept riding round the block last night at the end of my ride until I'd hit the magic number). Easily my best for September and I'm now through the 4,000 miles barrier for the year for the first time ever (with three months to spare as well).

Good work.

Approx 345 miles for September. Less than 250 to go to 3,000. Baby due in six weeks so I'll be lucky to get much past that.

551km, so about 342 miles. Rounded off the month with a 93 mile cycle on Monday, my longest ever.

353 miles, 22k feet of climb in September. I'll be lucky to hit 4,000 miles for the year.

Capped 3,000 for the year today, only the second time I've managed it.

Not gonna ride today or tomorrow, so 283 miles in October with 15,600 feet of climbing. Baby arrives next month, so no idea how much more I'll get through.

182.7 miles for October (9,316ft). Hit 800 miles for the year to date (only started in mid July).

Slackened right off now, 278 for October

552.9 mi for October, 5699.1 mi for the year. Not too bad considering i'm racing cx this fall, which actually ends up lowering my mileage.

335 for November. My best November ever, usually I pretty much give up around now.

Nov: 328.5mi, 22h 55m in the saddle, 19,446ft climbed.

Most of that was in the last ten days - had some time off work and made sure i got out every day, despite the poor weather. Think my chain's had it now, though. Can't see me doing much in December.

180 miles in November, which is pretty good considering that we had a baby on the 18th.

don't know if i gave congratulations in strava, so congratulations!

Thank you!

ditto

(to the congrats, not the thanks)

I cycled 3,361 miles this year, give or take. 238ish hours in the saddle, 169k feet climbed, hit by two cars.

Just shy of 150 miles in December.

3,658 miles in 2014

Shooting for 4,500 in 2015

I'll be happy with 2k this year. #baby

Yeah, baby

I smashed my mileage record this year. The most I'd managed before was 3,722 but this year I broke through the *magical* 4,000-mile barrier with months to spare. I even had an outside chance of breaking through the 5,000-mile barrier this month, but I got ill and didn't ride at all for most of my Christmas break. So just 175 for December and 4,817 for the year. I don't think I'll get anywhere near that in 2015, though.

(irrelevant correction: my previous best was 3,800)

1,128 miles in 2014, nothing in December. Hoping to hit 2,000 miles in 2015.

200ish miles in January.

462 miles in January, my biggest month since December 2012

258

170 or so

321

178.8 - ahead of target for Feb. Trying to do 2015 miles or more this year.

270 miles, eek

About 110. Damn baby.

What happened to this sub-forum? It's dying.

Cant type now too busy curating strava badges

I swear I'm gonna get out more this year

I've no one to ride with though, is the issue

287 for March - a bit down on where I should be

269 miles, ouch. April will be better - not traveling this month.

1,001 miles so far this year - this pace isn't going to get me to my goal of 4,500, especially with all the travel planned for later in the year ...

332.9 miles in March, 575.9 in total for 2015 so far. Ahead of where I expected to be at this point in the year.

579.2mi for march, not counting 25 miles or so of rides to the train station. i'm planning to ride my mtb more this summer, so my mileage will be down- focusing more on hours from here.

412mi for March, my biggest month in years. 855mi so far on the year, nearly half of what I did all last year. This year is looking up!

229 in March, 687 for the year so far. On track to get to 2,000.

Just realised the month has changed. Anyway, a pleasing 445 for April.

229.5 in April. So a slight (!!!) improvement.

Have my first big ride since Nora was born on Saturday - we're heading for Dartmoor. Excited!

632.6 mi which is fine considering weather and attention going to other stuff. i do wish i was riding my mtb at all, it's just not happening. if i have to get in a car to go to a trailhead, i pretty much hate that. theres like a 30 min transactional cost on every ride.

SAME

this doesn't bother me nearly as much for hiking or BC skiing tho

skiing is ~different~ :)

i miss ski season :(

we got over 5" of snow in my yard this morning, so i miss bike season. with all of the rain and snow this week, i've had a whole week on the trainer. on the plus, we only lost one tree limb.

375 for May. A windy and colder than usual month. Looking forward to some proper summer soon. Broke my carbon frame in the middle of the month, but have had it fixed.

345.8 miles for May. Managed 351.1 in April and thought I was getting nowhere near that this month, so I am pleased.

232 for May, which is a tiny increase on March and April. On 1,000 for the year so far, which is halfway to my first year of fatherhood target. Should hopefully beat May easily this month, as we're planning a Bristol-to-Exeter (basically redoing this - http://www.strava.com/activities/156277658 - but shorter and without the Blackdowns) at the end of the month.

312 miles in June. Sooo not hitting 4.5k this year :/

288 miles for June; missed 40+ on Saturday due to injury but did about 30+ unexpectedly yesterday when i took the afternoon off and pootled up and down the estuary.

570 for me - been squeezing in the rides whenever I'm not working

396 mi, took a couple of weeks off for family.

^ human after all

A disappointing 166 miles for June, well below target but my bike was out of action for two weeks.

jfc NBS! how do you feel?

Good. Hoping to get serious miles in this month up to Ride London on 2nd August.

As opposed to the unserious miles last month.

They were frivolous.

A whopping 646 miles for July, plus I'll be doing well over 100 more tomorrow

704.7 mi and 37,873 ft for July, a lot of commuting though.

117 more today. I'm shattered.

My closing stages of Ride London: https://youtu.be/9XSp3NI6W5g

232 for July; weddings and weekends away and poor weather. I never do much in July. Hopefully I can do more in August.

394 for August, not great considering I did 117 on the second day of the month

A piddling 92 for August (although Strava ate maybe 10+ miles of commuting by being shit); two vomiting bugs, family commitments, inclement weather, and other circumstances.

Since I been in the hospital since I got ranned over Aug 5 night, it was about 80mi. The future of riding and lots of stuff is pretty unknown- like said, i'm still in a hospital, but I'm getting by at least. lot's of great support and help for sure.

oh no! i guess i missed this --- that's awful news, Hunt3r, i really hope things are moving forward for you, however slowly

Shit - sorry to hear that

Shit, I hadn't noticed that either. Get well dude, that's awful.

Oh man, so sorry to hear that. Get well and let us know how you're doing.

thx all, gonna visit my home for the first time this weekend (a month exactly), I'm pretty stoked.

231 for September.

138 mi. on trainer, it's so dif from how I've ever done it. I can read, really watch tv or surf...there is like, no objective happening with the bike but the 'just keep going easy.' Z

How are you now?

OK, thanks! basically, trying hard to recover many bits of normal life, but it is not an easy recovery, physically or mentally.

All the best, stick in there.

387 for me for Sept.

Yeah, all the best dude. I have no idea what happened beyond what you've said here, obviously, but if it's as bad as it sounds and you're back on a trainer already that's good going, I think.

32 miles on Sunday morning took me to 2,001 for the year so far, meaning I've hit the post-baby target I set for myself. Admittedly, a huge chunk of those miles have come as commuting rather than epic weekend adventures, but beggars can't be choosers.

Is it possible to get another 500 done before the end of December, I wonder?

Just under 300 for October, but my end of year slump has arrived now - all enthusiasm for cycling is draining away as the weather turns...

167 for October.

It's probably not possible to get 500 more before year-end; my weekends are massively booked-up this month...

343 all indoors and good god it's not fun for me anymore

How are you doing?

Holding in there, lots of steps, thanks. Physically, I'm improved but parts of the damage are kinda, just done, you know?

Strava shows my first real independent ride today, as I had to drop off my ballot. Doc and therapists signed off on riding ability yesterdy. Between the need to actually deliver the ballot, and the facts that I could bikepath the whole 10 miles and also that 75 f'ing gorgeous degrees goes away after today (maybe til next May), I was committed to riding.

239 for november

Didn't manage many miles in November but did enough to get over my 2015 target of 2,015 miles, though disappointed I didn't hit it earlier.

305 mi. Just got bad clavicle repair news :( more repair required.

Hang in there

59 miles in November; a couple of busy weekends and a 2-week stomach bug.

And yeah, hang in there; more repair sucks but it does mean repair which = getting better.

196 for December giving 4,416 for the year. Not as much as last year, but my second best total by some margin.

238 for Dec, 4433 for year, but the mileage it really got to me this year

286.5

Zero, I think. Or close to zero. On January 7 I played my first game of 5-a-side of the year, and with about ten minutes to go I twisted / hyper-extended my right knee. It is still swollen, nearly a month later, and I have an MRI scan tonight to try and figure out what I did to it. I've been told to cycle to aid recovery but it's been so wet and windy I've not thought it was safe to do so yet; any risk of a fall and aggravating it when I'm injured and not confident just sin't worth it.

Ouch

Take care man, hope the scan went well.

So the MRI scan shows cracked cartilage and a slight tear in the medial ligament, suggesting that I dislocated and immediately relocated my right kneecap. Fun times. Told to get back on the bike as soon as I'm comfortable, which is basically as soon as these fucking hurricanes stop.

There aren't normally this many storms, are there?

I think the fact that they're named now makes it feel like there's more. But yeah, this weather is shite.

Been told not to ride up hills. Knee still swollen. Next specialist reckons it might be ACL now. Fun times.

:-(

Take care man, time and therapy and docs if necessary, you'll get through.

419 for February. Feel almost guilty saying it, seeing as I seem to be the only person left not struck down by physical calamities.

191.9mi in feb

feb 14 - 416
feb 15 - 315
feb 16 - 118

this wet weather can fuck up

I forgot to do March because I was on holiday. I will rectify this before too long and all will be right with the world again.

I rode my bike for the first time in fuckin forever on sunday

:-)

i have learned that the gearing on my road bike just is not suited at all to the hills around here. i dumped all of them into my granny and was still having to stand on the pedals while my pals were happily spinning away at 95rpm

biking is hard :(

shoulder pain on one side only... what could be cause of that? stem too long? saddle-to-bar drop too high? odd it's on one side (left) only

any ideas?

Don't know, but I've been suffering knee pain on one side (left) only. It keeps clicking when I properly extend my leg.

Finally calculated it - March was 334 miles for me

My knees have clicked like a hipster at a jazz club since I was a teenager.

Gbx does Hurricane mtn Rd still exist because I did that in 1990 and it was steep.

The best thing about eastern mtns was that 'wtf is a switchback' spirit.

dunno about hurricane mtn rd, but the general theme out here definitely seems to be STFU (straight the fuck up)

i've got big-boy gears on my road bike (53/39 up front and i think the biggest cog is 25t?) and that was fine in minnesota and really not that fine out here. tryna decide if i should just flip the road bike and put the money into my heavy but dependable cross check

Just 242 for April. Too much work on, can only get out once a week nowadays.

I'm not even on 500 for the year yet. Fucking knee. Still no hills. Manage maybe 40 a week at the moment - about 10-15 commuting and then maybe 25 at the weekend pulling the trailer normally.

342 for May. It's my half-term break this week so I'd been hoping to get a few rides in, but the weather is shite (40mph winds and heavy rain yesterday, no sun forecast until Sunday). Did a time trial last night on the velopark circuit (next to the Olympic velodrome) with both shoes feeling like they had a jug of water sloshing around inside them: https://youtu.be/87ZOBTVsGbo

128 for May, lowest since I spent August in the hospital. Not much comment other than I fear I'm ending biking? Probably not totally, but ~effectively~?

Sort of off topic, but affecting my bike attitude is the Broeckx thing, which is so sad, and really close to home. Was so hoping they wouldn't need to craney him, which I am guessing was the pressure reduction. I was trying to get Dutch news and Google's translation rendered the headline to be "Broeckx undergoes double lobotomy" and I was just "!!!!??"

Not good.

422 for may

335 June

164 for June. Not even on 1,000 for the year yet. I did kick a football at physio for the first time this morning though, and that felt good, and did 25 miles with some steady climbing yesterday morning at a decent tempo. I'm getting there.

327 for June. Lots of social rides and coincidental reunions on the road, it's been fun.

368

284 in July, my biggest monthly total since June 2015. I'll take that. Significant chunk of it was 90 miles done in one weekend when Em and Nora were away.

78

but I spent the month in north america, so

386, but I think that adds in my running miles which is probly like 25.

I clocked up 539 for July up to the 26th and then spent the best part of two weeks off the bike - just got back from holiday in France.

Another big month, 524 for August (and that's after zero miles in the first 8 days of the month)

261 last month. I have a feeling I will find that difficult to match this month; two weekends away and less favourable weather...

I did 302 for September. Only just realised that the month has changed: I wasn't able to ride for more than two weeks because of illness and stuff. Back out today and felt substantially less fit already.

only 227, mtb taking it's toll on mileage and time. Like every mtb ride involves 30-60 mins of driving that could otherwise be riding. it's bullshit, but built into the system.

301 for October

330.5

OK, if we're doing decimals mine was actually 300.6, to be honest

Some of mine was probly running, BASE jumping or wing suit flying u can check my strava for deets

327 for November

HUNT3R

i had 783 in november

It lives!

Damn we just got a flyby from a wing suit flier with way superior game!

279 for December (much more than normal for this time of year) and 4,231 for the year

2017: January 287, February 302, March 366

jan 163
feb 270
mar 334

April was 418. It would be good if I could carry on this trend of going further each month than the one before, but I think would soon become impossible.

0 for March, April, and May.

Bike sabbatical.

April was actually 412 - I accidentally included my meagre jogging miles in the cycling total. May is 354 and I won't be able to add to that before the month ends.

June was 364. I'm getting very lazy at filling in my spreadsheet nowadays.

And 535 for July
