How many miles have you done so far this year??
Summer is ending and I was just wondering
how many miles everyone has done so far this year.
How many did you do last year?
I have 1325 in this year and I did about 450 last year.

First off, I know how good it feels to increase mileage over the previous year. That sort of accomplishment is measured physically and mentally.
I have over 5,800 miles since January 3. The exact number is lost in a wayward computer during the 1st week in May, so I probably fudged a 100 miles or so. Anybody that has ever fished knows that technique.
We had a terrible Spring this year, or I think I would have had another 500-750 miles. I ended up doing lots 20-25 mile days during Spring and chalking it up to wind training.
While it feels good to do a little bragging about my total miles, being able to do a bunch of miles just feels good. It gives me credibility to do more miles, more scenic roads and bigger hills. I now crave miles and scenery. If I don't get out I feel cheated.
Keep rolling.

so far since Jan 1:
Commuter/Hardtail: 3500km (2190mi) -- about 3000m vertical
XC/Fully: 3000km (1875mi) -- also 42,000m vertical
road: 200km (125mi) -- about 200m vertical
= 6700km (4200miles)
last year i don't have a good count since i lost my cycle computer in September, but about 8000km (5000 miles)
this year since Jan 1 i also have logged 45,000m vertical (148,500 ft). actually for me, vertical meters climbed is probably a more important statistic since i ride mostly off-road and huge hills here in the Alps!

put me back on my bike
On Audax rides:
5x200 = 1000
300
400
600
total 2300
commuting: approx 50k per week. (would be 200k if I had the gumption to do it every day) = 38 *50 = 1900
Total = 4200 kilometers = 2610 miles

As of today, (17th September) just over 5600 km. I've already passed last year's total and the best cycling months are still ahead. We're just into Spring with Summer around the corner.

I keep a daily cycling log. As of today, it is 5,946 miles for 2002 with a 450 mile Nevada tour coming up next week. With luck September will have over 1,000 miles alone. Here we have pretty good cycling until December 1, except for the unfortunate loss of daylight savings time. hate that..... Hope I might surpass my best year yet of over 8,400 miles in the year 2000.

70 miles!! Woohoo!! 
Of coarse I only started riding about a month ago so I'm nowhere close to being in good shape yet.
Got a new bike now so I hope to add a lot to that number by the end of the year.

I'm ashamed to say not nearly enough! 
Much less than the 4000 miles I estimated in a thread posted last January.

6114km (3800mi) since mid-March (winter is no good time for biking here), including 19 rides of century-distance or longer (all but five solo). The big difference to my previous best years (5600km in 1999 and 5400km last year) is the lack of a tour this year. In 1999 I did Paris-Lisbon (4600km), and last year Barcelona-Venice (2800km with an estimated 40,000m altitude gain).

As of this morning, 10188 km(6367 miles) Most of this is done on my daily commute. Hoping to do another 5000 km this year as long as the snow holds off

I have over 2590 miles since March of this year which is when I started riding. I hope to have over 4000 by years end and should get about 700 of them in the next 3 weeks.
Not bad for a 49 year old beginner.

Actually, I just got started riding 2 months ago, so I think 478 is pretty good for 2 months. It sure feels like I have spent alot of time on the bike. (my wife sure thinks so....hence my name of "rides2much")
I hope to do get to 1500 before the end of the year and I have a goal of 3000 next year.

In my second full year of cycling, I've got 2700 miles since May 22 of this year. I'm psyched, this is so fun! I'm shooting for 10k miles by next May. Fun and luck to us all!

Just ride.
4373 miles since Jan. 1. That's all of 'em; commuting, training, centuries, etc. My target is 6000 for the year, or at least 5000. It may require some foul weather riding. (I'm a wimp.)
