A Long Distance Accomplishment?
Maybe ? I am sure my bike club has several long distance touring members , whose mileage has far exceeded my goal. To have my Cycling app confirm that I have ' ridden around the world."
This might not deserve a Gold ribbon among my clubs records, perhaps a bronze.
How do you like my data? Is it worth an honorable mention.
This distance achieved since Jan 1, 2013. Since that date, I have spent approximately 0.04 x of my waking hours atop my bike and 19% of my cycling being used for commuting purposes.
My cycling data as recorded by the Endomondo site.
My new claim , onto the Moon.

No. Just take a nap. Then figure a way to take less time from the first one.

Sorry to have to correct. The site uses Kilometers.
Meaning my average is closer to 9 mph. .
I do a lot of city riding and commuting to work. That kind of riding, one does not worry about speed. When touring, which I do a lot; I'm usually the last one out and last one back.

Once we did the one day ride at Death Valley. They had 60 miles , 100 miles and 200 mile rides.
There was some semi pro team there. ( Jelly Belly as I recall.)
I did the 100 miler , as I said. No big deal. I ride 100 mile rides at least once a month .
Taking it easy up the big hill towards Scotty's Castle , by the time I returned it was like around 4 hours plus.
Yes, we did stop for lunch. , probably Jelly Belly did not. ?
By the time we returned to the starting point, that Jelly Belly team did their double century in about maybe one hour more than our century.
Again , tho ; as much city riding as I do , I suspect that significantly slows down one's average.

Only once Did I fume as to feeling resentment at those speed demons.

Easy mistake to make. No Biggie.
One reason I do this post.
I love the way Endomondo provides extra data such as calculating how far you've gone about the globe.
I have not explored that option. But, at one time , the site calculated an estimate of how much CO 2 , you have Not produced.

Pretty nice for a working guy. Nothing to sneeze at there.
I added mine up for the same time, retired.
Tour bike with Rohloff14 > 16,700 miles.
Same bike with SA 5w > about 8,000.
CCM with old and new SA 3 sp > 3,600
Spez hybrid 3x8 > about 2,300
Total 30,600. My life avg is only 10.5 mph city, maybe 12.6 highway. LOL I guess I spend a lot of time coasting around.
Miles in a little peloton, maybe 50.
Before I was 50, I didn't have much time to ride out on highway runs. My bikes were rather heavy and useless too.
Not having a light really sucked also.

I don't do touring or commuting, only my racing and training. I never kept a log of my past riding so no idea what my Historical distance is and only have a log since joining Strava in June 2019. Since then, I have done 14,137km, mix MTB and road.
So far this year it is:
Distance 8,261.3 km
Time 337h 20m
Elev Gain 96,473 m
Rides 144
