Started in April as an absolute beginner so had no idea whether my 2500 mile target was feasible,turned out it was a bit too easy,done by start of December.
Am going for 4000 next year,1st full year.If I can commute on average 3 times a week that will take care of nearly 3000 of it,so should be ok.

12,000.13

Did you have to go around a block to get that .13? Congratulations - that's an impressive total - when I think of the comments of surprise I get for a mere 3000 then I think some non cyclists would just assume you were lying or mixing it up with your car mileage.

As for my target... I want to increase my 3000 which I did do but not by very much, so it might go from 250 pm to 275 which would make 3300 for the year.

A quick 11 miler in today & I may go out latter & try a 40 on the road fixie to take me to 900. Still I'm over 850 miles with a week of riding lost due to illness is nothing to be sniffed at.

Got a small 23 in today, first for nearly three weeks stuck to the local main roads as theres still places not fully thawed out.

Well done! That was my strategy, I aimed for an extra 50pm on the previous year...and have done a little bit extra as well.

Managed to break my 4000 target yesterday Am going round the block to make it 500 for the month in a minute.

Congratulations Auntie Helen and everyone else. I've just arrived home with 8.8 miles to go for my 12k, which just happens to be the distance from here to the stables via my hilly route, so at about 4:30 this afternoon i'll be crossing the finish line.

 

[GrasB]

well done there redflight... I think 12000 is next years target.

When I told someone, a long time ago, that I cycled 20 miles a day he said that was BS because I'd win the Olympics if I could cycle that far in a day... you have no clue my friend!

Happiest of New Year celebrations to everyone... Don't drink too much! Well done to eveyone for this years massive mileage totals. Good luck for 2010.

Oh fannies. Dropped Ian back to his and put in a quick loop around Wickham on the way home to close my remaining 20 miles for the year. Picked my way home through back streets trying to avoid the gritter as my bike is finally all shiny. Miscalculated, and got in with 6 miles still to close!

There's a party at my sister's place tonight. Looks like I'm riding there

I want my 1mph average.

 

[Auntie Helen]

Congratulations all on a cracking year of cycling, whatever the mileage.

2010 will start quietly for me as I am disassembling the bike and giving it a thorough service, thus no riding for several days. I shall miss it but the bike badly needs some TLC.

Here's hoping for sunshine and safety for 2010!

(Phew, made it. 8760th mile completed at 2342hrs, Dec 31st, 2009.)

Congrats all, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

[Garz]

Gratz arallsopp!

Happy new year aswell.

 

[zizou]

really pleased to make it over a 1000 this month, was much more of a struggle than last month where i seemed to manage it relatively 'easy'. if it wasnt for the guilt over stuffing my face with christmas goodies then i'd never have had the motivation to get out so much

Happy New Year Cycloggers!

And to start off the year, here's your chance to buy my husband's recumbent trike at a bargain price: http://www.cyclechat.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=1062538#post1062538

Yes you, too, could ride as slowly as me! Well, you could ride in ice and snow without any problems faster than others, I suppose.

How about it Aran, it seems like you don't have enough bikes yet! There's always room for one more...
