Last year I had lots of good days and went 3,547 miles. Only have 4 IGH hubs now.
No such thing as a regular ride for me. 35 city miles takes me no more effort than sitting on the couch, since I don't push the pace. LOL.
This year I spent a lot of days trying to make HB stems and CF bottle holders. Also bought a new roadster that took a lot of time changing stuff, including a whole new front wheel with SA XL-FDD. Also added rods to the rack and added 3/4" to the dropouts and changed the fender to the one off my 1973 Raleigh. LOL. It came with stupid roller brakes. The Nexus 7i is fine.
July was hotter than a bugger, had to sleep on the couch about 40 nights. And just took a car ride 4 times for airconditioning.

3,179 miles in 2021 with 11 highway all day rides that averaged 101.5 miles. I guess it was a bigger struggle against cramps, that left me short of a century 4 times. I take 12 or 14 hours, whatever. My CCM with a SA RD3 speed had my 3 easiest centuries. LOL.
>> So the 11 all solo rides were >> 102.7, 112.4, 93.4, 92.6, 96.6, 128.5, 83.6, 100.4, 100.6, 104.7, 97.
Last highway ride of the year was 57 miles on Oct.16. First one was May 28, kind of late.

Puttering around the city, the rides are 20 to 45 with a fast food meal. Except going out west, there's not many hills unless I ride down to the river paths.
ZERO miles in my whole life with a light bike, helmet, heart monitor, clips, strava, or lycra. LOL.
=== And today is my COLDEST ever birthday. -36C to - 23C. It was a day record -41.6C in Leduc yesterday.
