Good point. I've always been in the same sort of climate, and my biggest years (7000+ miles) required a
lot of 200+ mile weeks when the weather was favorable.
At that rate, riding year 'round, I'd have a 10k-11k yearly total...But I don't know that I could maintain that volume for twelve months per year. When riding season winds down in late autumn, I'm usually a bit happy to have some time away from the bike.
