About 120 for January. All the good excuses for not doing more have been used. So I'll just say, "The dog ate my homework."

246 miles in February. That's less than half of my January total. Didn't help that I was down with the flu for a week.

Did 152 mi Feb 19-21 at the beach, but the rest of the month was spotty. I'll go with 250mi total. 2016 miles are not setting my saddle on fire, that's for sure.

It was better than last February, that's for sure... but even so, I've reached the age where I wouldn't mind skipping February entirely.

I've reached the age where I wouldn't mind skipping MILEAGE STATS entirely. There, changed it for me.

Days on the bike and saddle time are better indicators (for me) of the quality and value of my cycling experience. And I'm sure 'everybody's mileage may vary' = EMMV

310 Miles I rode last month. February was pretty wet in the PNW, but we also had some sunny days. Got a lot of work to do if I'm going to survive RAMROD this year.

Approx. 375 miles for February. That includes 260 commuting miles (~40 of those miles with kid in tow), plus a few 25-40 mile weekend rides. All vintage miles. One flat, one broken retrofriction shifter spring, one retired saddle.

914 Southern California miles for Feb. (650 in Jan.) About half of it commuting on my Motobecane GT. The weekend rides are longer and hillier. Getting ready for L'Eroica CA in 6 weeks.

About 360 miles in January (missed three days if I recall) and 420 in February (miraculous since I practically missed the entire month last year due to crap weather). All commute miles. Once the daylight extends a bit more, will try riding from home a few times a week. Oh, and three flats last month all on the same day. Yeeay.

A paltry 561 km in Feb, and even less in Jan. As I age, I am less driven to do those imperial centuries anymore, and so my kilometrage drops off significantly. I try to do my 9 mile out and back most evenings.

Most of my January miles were in snow, mud, gravel.

January-213 miles

Most of February miles were the same until the last two weeks when I turned back into a roadie.

February - 393 miles

Best start to a new season for a very long time.

I'm doing slightly better than last year.
Total mileage to date: 1221.4
Strava is a little tough to break down because it totals running and riding.
It looks like,
January: 205.1
February: 378.2
March: 648.4
No idea if those add up, but they should be close.

Here's a photo from the bridge across the Delaware at Belvidere a couple weeks ago when @rhm and I rode the Lackawanna 200k with the PA Randonneurs.
I was riding a vintage Litespeed. Rhm was on his puffy-tired Holdsworth.

March miles were down, as I was sick for 10 days, plus I spent so much time fishing small streams locally for trout.

Still off to a decent start this year with appr. 310 miles in March.

April should be a great month though.
