I’ll be just a tad over 3300 by the end of the year, which is 1700 short of my goal. Work really got in the way this year

Only 1750 due to a cold went spring, and the stupid virus shutting down all the restrooms in the parks.

Mileage is a horrible metric. I’ll finish the year around 4200 miles. First part of the year, in Florida, I was on a pace over 7500. With the pandemic and remote work, we decamped to Western NC.
So shorter road rides with lots of climbing and gravel rides and more mountain biking, and some trainer time when it was too cold to ride outside with my thinned fl blood. Same time and effort in Florida and my mileage would be much higher.
Time and intensity are much better metrics

I do have several power meters, on different bikes. And when I was competing I could tell you that number. Now I pretty much don’t care.
I’m pretty sure though my TSS from long mileage rides on flats in Florida is not higher than from shorter miles with more climbing in NC

1540 miles. Started riding again in mid may after my deployment and kept a steady pace until November and December when work finally caught up and only allowed a couple rides over a seven week period. Hopefully I can get closer to 4000 next year.

I like Veloviewer's year-end detail, but posting a huge picture celebrating me seems a bit obnoxious. So plain old Strava screen grab.

Time and intensity are only better metrics if you're trying to measure, well, time and intensity. Or work. They suck as metrics for distance though. Mileage is a much better metric for measuring distance.

9989 miles. I probably have well over 10k miles this year, but I got careless with recharging the garmin.
These are my slowest 10k miles though, but about 2700 of those miles are dirty(mountain bike) miles.
