Almost a third of the year gone already!
I set myself a target of 100 miles per month for 2014.
Not much compared to many on here, but it'll do for me.

Current figures for 2014:

624 miles / 1004km distance
24,777 feet / 7552 metres elevation
53 hours moving time
Longest ride of 2014 so far - 45 miles / 72kms.

Trying to get a bigger % of my miles on the bike rather than in the car.
Done 5.5k miles in the car so far in 2014 - more work to be done then. hehe

How about you?

Just under 3k miles. Behind the last two years but more turbo this winter.

2000 miles. My average speed for a decent ride is now well over 18 mph too.

Might try out for Paris Roubaix next year ;-)

I remember you from a number plate forum biggrin

Keep up the good,work it all helps, I only manage 8 miles a day, (hard 8 miles, I don't doodle), but when you've had your bus pass for 7 years it gets harder.

When I took up cycling out of the blue when I was about 46, I was driving a desk at the time, first year did just under 4000 miles, lost about 2 stone.

I used to log the mileage using my Cateye, but often than not it gives up recording, me thinks it's cold batteries up here.

Proper rides, or just on the plain?

Anyways, i'm naff this year. 331 miles, just under 20k feet climb. Nowhere near 18mph, but other than when i'm freewheeling next to neighbours, i autopilot east not west smile

Absolutely minimal. Not been in the UK much, and badly damaged my right hand in Feb.

8hrs
76.5 miles

Now I'm out of plaster I'm aiming to start riding a hell of a lot more.

78000ft of climbing according to Strava. I try and get a hill in whenever I can biggrin

Come to think of it, my 18mph average is probably a tad optimistic too whistle

2,699.5 km
70,310 m of elevation

Being doing lots more distance than usual to complete the Velobici challenge (1,767 km in 50 days) but I've been very over it the last few weeks and only carrying on because I was so close to the end. Now I'm finished that and the weather is starting to turn I'm planning on dropping back to basic commuting mileage.

Abysmal.

A couple of hundred non-commuting miles at most.

I've figured the problem though - an annoying creak from the saddle was sapping the joy of being on the good bike. Didn't realise how much I hated it until it was gone! Now that's sorted and I've also got a new bike inbound, it's time to get my arse in gear.

Just got my first road bike on the go 2 weeks ago, what a difference, especially now the clipless pedals are on and haven't come close to joining "The Club" yet.

So far this year I'm at

1634 miles
40,253 ft elevation


This put me up 539 miles up and 16,000ft down on last year at this point. In my defence, I've ended up on the turbo a lot more at the start of the year due to a shoulder injury so not many hills going on there!
On a brighter note, I've been getting in plenty of longer MTB rides so hopefully I'll be in better form by the time my 12h solo's come round later this year.

Are you certain that creak wasn't just your joints?
