Another month has gone by, so how are people doing for 2014?

Year-to-Date:
Distance - 346.8 mi
Time - 29h 53m
Elev Gain - 18,829 ft
Rides - 18
That was in January and February. I've not ridden a single yard since 2nd Feb, due to collision/injury.
Hoping to get back on a bike of some sort before three months is up. I need to fix the MTB brakes and chainrings, or sort the headset on my old steel 'racer' first though. Not a single fully functional bike in the garage at the moment
Still injured, and my Physio has warned me to stay off the bikes for the time being. Distance - 346.8 mi
Time - 29h 53m
Elev Gain - 18,829 ft
Rides - 18

So "No Change"
and it's getting close to four months without a bike ride now...
Big bump.
How are people doing then?
I haven't ridden since the middle of July due to holidays and work.
Still on for my target of 1200-1500 for the year though.
Must get a few miles in or I'll forget how to ride before long!
76 rides
1183 miles / 1904 km
42303 feet / 12894 metres elevation
98.5 hours moving time
Longest ride - 60 miles / 96 kms

So "No Change"
and it's getting close to four months without a bike ride now...So. The collision/injury/recovery thing kept me off bikes from 03 Feb to 06 Jun, but progress with natural recovery and physio meant I got back on a bike on Saturday, 07 Jun, and I've not really looked back since. A 'second opinion' from a physio who's also a cyclist meant I got encouraged to ride MORE rather than not at all, and mountain biking really sped things along in that respect. I'm back up to 'respectable' figures now, given that I was 'out' for four months and it's all been off-road since June:
Year-to-date:
Distance - 1,053.2 mi
Time - 107h 24m
Elev Gain - 45,801 ft
Rides - 68
I've binned my target of 5,000 miles for the year. It's no longer realistic, especially without a road bike at the moment, but 2,500 miles seems do-able, so I'm aiming for that now, and I'm just trying to get out there as much as possible, to enjoy and appreciate my 'second chance' as the collision could have caused far worse injuries, so I'm happy to have retained the ability to ride.
