The last two years my annual target had been the year number in miles. Last year I aced it, clocking up over 2,200 miles. This year I have failed. Mostly due to two months off the bike because of a back injury. I managed to get back on track but with the finishing line in sight, December came along and took away days of riding (a week’s holiday for one thing, plus Christmas and such). I am going to fail by about 100 miles. However, without the goal in place I would not have got even that close, because it definitely got me out on the bike when I could easily have not bothered.
However with my impending redundancy and hopeful early retirement I am expecting to ramp it up a lot next year. I’ll set the goal as 2025 miles and see how it goes.
