6 months into 2015 - How many miles have you ridden?

In another week or so (June 30th) , we will be at half year mark. How much have you cumulatively ridden your hybrid so far this year? Please specify miles or kilometers.

Me - 1850 miles. Aiming for 4000 miles by end of the year.

285 miles so far in 2015. Would have more but two factors are limiting my mileage:
1.) I am training for a half marathon so running is taking up a good portion of my riding time.
2.) I started mountain biking, an hour of MTBing generates a lot less miles than road/hybrid biking.

Targeting 800 by the end of the year.

Bought a bike that needed fixing, it got stolen bought a brand new one and then had to travel for work.
Sad part is i travel to Amish country Ohio for work and its soo perfect for riding bikes.

To answer your question - i have ridden 6 times with about 10 - 12 miles average. Target is to ride 4-5 hours a week with 40 miles a week. so total target is 1000 miles

Anyone have a good windows phone app to track distance etc. ...

thank you.

45. I learned how to ride a bike on May 10, 2015. Bought my bike on May 11. Practiced on a nice quiet area for two weeks before starting to log miles on MapMyRide Plus.

2,771 miles so far with a goal of 5,000 for the year. I ride almost every day. My longest ride is just over 20 miles.

I track my miles with Endomondo daily. Below are the month totals so far.

Until I got my Garmin Edge 500, I was very happy with MapMyRide. And, I still have my Garmin Connect account linked to MapMyRide so that when I upload to Garmin, it also updates MMR.

I've had my Sirrus since February and since then I've ridden 326 miles, but I only ride once a week (wish I could do it more often ).

I'm pretty much maxed on time as well. You do what you can do.

but at least you manage to ride 900 all on march that's impressive considering you don't have much time either.

Most of it has been since March (not sure you caught that), yes. But the real point I was getting at is that do what you can do, and it doesn't matter what anyone else does. I meant a couple of groups of roadie's last night (and I was on my road bike), and they would have toasted my a@# if I was riding with them. But I in no way feel bad about it, no more than I feel bad that I can't possible keep up with my friends that run half and full marathons.

Time constraints are part of life. Kids, homes, spouses, jobs etc, all get in the way. I want to ride again today, but I have to fix a flat on my mountain bike, re-wrap handlebars on the road bike, and clean the gunk and lube up my hybrid. That does not include my other home responsibilities. The main thing is that you are out there whatever amount you can, and that you enjoy it.

exactly and I don't care how much other people are able to ride, is just that I myself love to ride and can't do it that much like I used too. Anyway, I'm cool with my 1 or 2 days a week rides since most of the time one of those days is always a long (for me) 30+ mile ride.

565 miles so far this year, mostly from a 6 mile course I ride 5 mornings a week for cardio exercise. A lot of fun too.

I like to think of myself as a solid 2000 miles a year cyclist. I ride year-round.... but cycling season is May-Sept here. So... 2 months down on a 5 month season has me at 880.45 miles.

I am using Cycle Meter (on an iPhone) to track efforts this year. Compared with monthly stats from previous years I am right on target. The "new" bicycle I bought last 4th of July weekend has 1994.7 miles on it computer/odometer (and I also ride my other bikes).

I've come to the conclusion that the "key" to accumulated mileage isn't commitment or effort... but merely nice weather and decent time and risk management. With the normal real-life requirements on time and attention it take a little logistics to have a life, mow the lawn, and enjoy a nice bicycle ride. Managing risks... to stay healthy and injury-free... is also a make-or-break proposition when it comes to the repeated efforts of cycling.

Same goal I have. I'm currently at 977 miles. Hopefully the summer 100+ degrees won't slow me down too much.
