Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

No, I am still waiting for the rest. I'd say about 60% of us have specified a goal. I think 100,000 miles will be doable, but a challenge.

Cool, I'm in the top 10. I'm sick (literally now) and tired of riding so many days in freezing temps with 3-4 layers! When is Spring going to get here?

Sure. Maintenance on this is super low. Send me your miles and weight (if you want to track that) since Jan 1 to the address in the original post. I'll add ya.

Fondo, I sympathize with the sick and the cold. It is about time to ditch this and get on with riding!

I just found this thread. I guess I don't look at the stickies that often...

RT - I have all of my YTD data and I will send to you via the email in the OP. I'll also post a couple of pictures that I took while riding this year later in the week.

Thanks for doing this. It'll definitely keep me motivated.

Edit - I'll also be using my bathroom scale for my weight and Strava for mileage.

Putting in miles with a healing Clavicle is... difficult to say the least.
Will likely be losing some position in the chart soon enough because of this surgical inconvenience.

BTW just putting miles in on the trainer sitting up in case you doctors are like "What the heck is he doing riding on that broken bone!?!?"

I got outside for my first non-trainer ride of the season. It was nice, but there were sections where I was stuck on the same path as other sun-seeking walkers/runners. The trainer work sure didn't make it any easier, but I did feel faster.

Gorgeous day in Colorado Springs, just got back from this ride https://app.strava.com/activities/46691611 Yes I'm slow, but I'm happy with my progress since I just started riding again after a 9 month hiatus. 70.6 miles for the week.

The only positive was moving into our new home. Otherwise, the weight loss stopped and I put on some, and we didn't do any riding for the week.

0km = 0 miles
94kg = 207lb

No ride on Easter. Ended the week with 61.6 miles. Boo. New shoes should arrive this week. New wheels should be tensioned and trued the week after. New toys usually result in a bump in mileage, but we'll see if Mother Nature cooperates.

I don't really have any cycling mileage (kilometerage?) goals, I just ride. So far I've ridden 6375km this year and 89915 vertical metres. I weigh about 68kg.

No riding yesterday due to a doctor appointment after work. Won't ride today due to fog/freezing rain/snow. Looks like it is supposed to clear up by tomorrow afternoon, so hopefully I can get some mileage in then. Was bored at work today so I jumped on mapmyride and came up with a new route to try out the next time I ride.

The weather around here has really bitten the weenie lately. The fog this morning was like something out of a poorly made horror film. The rest of the week looks better.

It's supposed to start getting nicer hear as well. Only bad day I see in the forecast is Friday and that works just fine for me, plan on finishing up my build that day.
