Wow, David, you were really precise that month!
I ended up riding more in Dec than any month since July when I did a 330-mile tour.
Dec: 442 miles
Year total according to ridewithgps: 3,139 miles
That doesn’t include commuting (conservatively estimated at 15 miles per week x 30 weeks = 450 miles) or running errands or the few rides on which my Garmin watch ran out of power, so I’m close to 3,700 miles for the year. Not the 5K I would have hoped for but there’s always next year.

607 miles for December.
a total of 9425 miles total for the year.
I really need to start tracking the baked goods consumed while riding! I can say that I did stop for an Orange Chiffon cupcake on my ride on Dec 30th. Very tasty!!
Trefzger's Bakery has quite a selection of enticing cupcakes, and I plan to try a few more in 2024!

Ha! I use a spreadsheet and google-mapped mileage more often than Strava, especially for commuting routes. I don’t always do a full “lap” and instead estimate. Then I get things like that multiplication artifact of hundredths times tenths. I normally have decimal points set to one, but that one eluded me.

But, my record year was 2007. 15,350 miles. 269 Days. Averaging 57.1 miles per ride. I did it while working. If you counted my commute, I was doing 11.5 hours a day for my job. Living on 4-5 hours sleep. It's an addiction for me. I guess it's better than heroin.
Edit: I just checked my records. My second year of retirement (2017) I did 15,584. 296 days. 52.6 average.

We’ve had barely any snow this winter in the Boston area though Feb temps were cold (or at least seasonable). That meant a fair number of opportunities for shortish rides:

January: 442 miles, 1 baked good
February: 634 miles, 5 baked goods.
the chocolate raspberry cupcake was quite impressive:
... but the basic chocolate donut with sprinkles is nothing to sneeze at (and it's not hygienic to do so)

These days, I don't have much time for riding for riding's sake. Thank goodness for bike commuting. But I barely rode in February. My logging app says I rode only 7 miles, though it might have been slightly more since I sometimes forget to hit the Record button. The weather made me not feel like bike commuting. This month is looking better already. I commuted twice this past week, and it felt great.

Only got out once for 31 miles. Work, weather, holidays, and family all conspired to keep a lid on riding.

Vacation, rain, and work craziness resulted in only 2 rides in April. Would like to top 600 by June

This was actually a bad month for me. I missed a lot of days due to rain, a bout of vertigo, injections in my eye (ouch) and concrete work.
