Well I'm off the bottom - 24.6 miles with 650 metres ascent in horrendous weather very slow and now I'm coughing like mad (chest infection over the holidays) but it was worth it.

I hope that I will be well enough to get a few decent rides in this year, so I will start using MCL again. I will set myself a modest 3,650 mile target to start with and see how I get on with that. I can always increase that later if things are going well.

Modest?
That's the same target as mine
Uncertain as to mileage this year as it depends where I end up working and whether or not my commuting mileage will be anywhere near what it has been, as long as I do more than skolly & Skud that'll do for me

I toyed with the idea of 3,650 km but decided to be more ambitious!

But you wiped the floor with it the past couple of years! (Yes, I know that a bike commute makes it much easier to get the miles in.)Modest?

I am toying with the idea of doing some regular 'virtual commutes' this year. Instead of having breakfast then turning my compter on, I would ride a 20 mile loop, get washed and changed, then have breakfast and put the computer on!

4300 commuting miles last year versus 1700 leisure.
That's not a bad idea Colin, just remember you need to actually do it and not just think about it, especially when it's damp and gloomy outside.
That's the thing, on a commute it doesn't matter what the weather is like (within reason) I would just carry on, if it's just leisure rides I/we might be a bit more choosy

I know that they wouldn't count for MCL but I can always get in virtual miles on my gym bike when the weather is bad.4300 commuting miles last year versus 1700 leisure.

Over a year, I would get pretty fit on 3,650 road miles, plus gym bike 'miles', plus MTB miles, plus miles of hilly walks!

Sorry if it's the wrong place to ask, but I can't seem to join the Cyclechat group on MCL, is there a trick? The links to join don't seem to be working..
Thanks

1000 miles a month for me, so 12,000 in total, my 15,000 for last year was a bit excessive, but if I'm getting close to it you never know!
