Thanks for all of your suggestions. I thought I'd update the thread as today I picked up my 2015 challenge.
This year will mostly be about fixed wheel, single speed cycling on the road.
And for those interested, 2014 ended up at 4,562 miles on my cranky old mountain bike.
Looks good - Is it Ali or Steel version?This year will mostly be about fixed wheel, single speed cycling on the road.

A quick update on The Challenge half way through the year.
I've just passed my 2,000th mile, all in one, fixed gear.
I'm loving it, and still getting stronger/faster/fitter.

Disappointing...

Quarterly Challenge update time.
So far this calendar year 4,020 miles and 100,196 ft ascended (and descended again).
By my calculations that's about 1,018,722 revolutions of the crank.

Genuinely good work on the mileage. I'm away from home so can't give you a current update for a day or two. I know my mileage is lower, but the climbing as a lot more. (Should be, since I use gears!)So far this calendar year 4,020 miles and 100,196 ft ascended (and descended again).

I take it you're aiming for 6,000 miles?
Challenge update: I've now ridden more miles this year to date than the whole of last calendar year. 4,579 so far.
I don't know whether this counts as a significant achievement since last year's miles were on a cranky, heavy old mountain bike over all manner of terrain, albeit with the benefit of gears. This year has been solely on road with a much lighter machine, but only with a single fixed gear.
