How's your mileage for 2015?
Discussion
I did over 6000miles last year and focused on covering as many miles as possible to reach that target.
This year, I've realised it's quality not quantity, so if I have a 2 hour ride, instead of trying to go as far as I can, I might do hill repeats or a big climb instead.
That said, I've still done over 3000miles till the end of June but have climbed 156000ft as well. Last year I only climbed 200000ft in the entire year.

How's the Bianchi coming along Toby?
All here: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...Groupset should be here tomorrow, along with other parts. I'm away this weekend plus I don't have the tools for the Campagnolo BB (possibly Power Torque or Ultra Torque) so might have to go to the LBS for that. I'd say I'm 2 weekends away, maybe sooner.
I had big plans this year of completing around 3000 miles or so. Which when you consider that i was playing football up to 4 times a week would've been about right guesstimately. Then in February of this year all that changed as i tore my ACL, Meniscus and other gubbins in my right knee so now these are the results for 2015. If i can double that by the end of the year then i'll be a happy boy.

Stop with the km's, we are imperial here!
Here being PH, or here being the UK?I live in Singapore where everything is in Km's and previously France and soon back to Europe .... I don't really care either way, but it's what's relevant for the individual isn't it?
1717.74 miles if you need help with converting to the imperial measurement you prefer.
The Stravistix plugin (highly recommended btw!) has the perfect thing for threads like this. On your profile it shows your progression to this point in the year compared to previous years.
2014 was my first 'proper' year of cycling and with a few dry spells I managed about 1,600km. I'm shooting for more this year but have a little way to go. That I've just bought myself a new roadie (for my birthday, naturally!) should help!
