Somewhat disappointingly I did around 2000 miles last year, and probably around that a year since getting back into biking back in 2013.
I don’t really get any weekend riding because kids and family, I often commute to work in the summer, it’s all country lanes which is nice but potholes everywhere here in SE Kent are a constant nuisance, it’s about a 50 mile round trip but getting togged up in leathers can be a pain especially if I’m running late or if I need to train to town I don’t take the bike.
I do a camping trip to Wales every year for a long weekend and cover about 1200miles on my tourer, the rest is split between the other bikes which do around 300-500 miles a year lol. I’d like to do a bit more this year, we’ll see. I’d love to do a trip abroad to Spain but don’t have any riding buddies anymore and hard to get the time off work.

Around 7000-8000 miles a year now ... used to be double that but I can’t be bothered with bad weather these days. A bit of rain is fine, but if it’s pouring down I take the car or work from home.
Most of the NW crew pussy out these days riding so I don’t get out as much in Summer either anymore. Jazoli and Gavia being the exception.

Bit of a crap year really on the bike front
I managed probably between 2-3000. A mixture of commuting, 600 miles on the new bike and a few days trackwork
Ermmmmm, I thought the I was going senile for a minute then saw the full stop I managed probably between 2-3000. A mixture of commuting, 600 miles on the new bike and a few days trackwork
Across road, track and Enduro probably 4000.

Something like 25,000 to 30,000. 400 miles a week commuting then a couple of big wobbles around Europe somewhere of about 6,000 each.
Again, really?Assuming your Euro trips are two weeks each then you'd need to average almost 430 miles a day, every day of the trip. Even three week trips would still have you averaging 286 miles per day, every day of your trip. That's a long hard day if you're not using motorways and if your Euro trips are 21 days of mostly motorway, they must be pretty damn boring.

You’re not going tomlike this, but I thought exactly the same when I was reading both those posts. However, I chose not to argue it with them Assuming your Euro trips are two weeks each then you'd need to average almost 430 miles a day, every day of the trip.
