End of Year: Mileage (nerdy stats alert)

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.

I am so terrible at bikes lately

No ride today as I blew a spoke yesterday, on the new wheels as well. Just missed out on 1000 miles this month as a result

1533km
62 hrs
11055m

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.

232 miles, 11.4k feet climbing

697.9mi
45hr 2m
31,452ft

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.

801.2mi 54hr 2m 32,532ft

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.

428.2mi
26hr 13m
16,913ft

decent, especially since the previous two months were 232 and 244 miles.

1725km
66hrs
12887m

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.

570.6mi 45hr 26m 24,001ft

185.1mi
12hr 41m
9,313ft

Two weekends away didn't help. Would have liked to fit 200.

302.1mi
18hr 46m
11,351ft

been increasingly hard to drag myself out of bed to ride, tbh

Fuck Devon for making me do the most climbing per mile. More than people in Scotland ffs.

Didn't get the Rapha Festive 500 and I'm hanging up my shoes for an end of year barbecue in the Park.

Distance 8,022.8 km
Time 337h 28m
Elev Gain 71,119 m
Rides 146

Fittest I've been in years and loving it. Goals for next year:

10,000 km
100,000 m
participate and finish at least one proper race

Distance 4,072.4 mi
Time 260h 27m
Elev Gain 203,852 ft
Rides 123

80% of last year (new job.) Still feeling pretty good.

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

started cycling seriously again in august and in 5 months did:

1,597.4 miles, 111h 39m, 91,601ft

targets for next year: ride up a french HC, and ride over 5000miles
