I've just set up my MCL goal mileage for next year, at 1/3 more than this year's. That's a reasonable progression from this year's goal and builds up from when I was ill in 2008.
Anyone else thinking about mileage targets for 2011 yet?

Yes I am. From a target of 10,000 this year down to 8000 next year. Will be starting longer working days so my commute of a round about 35 miles will come doen to a more direct 24 miles.

I reduced from 12,000 miles last year to 8,000 miles this year (for which I am on target) and I have to say it was a bit of a relief not to have to do so many. I got a fair few extra in hand this summer so only have to do 15 a day for the rest of the year to hit target. I am enjoying being a bit more relaxed about mileage but need to watch that waistline!

3650 this year 10 miles per day.
Probably go for 11 per day next year-4,015.
A few more long rides should do it,only done 3 this year.

it's good to know other people think about this. I find defining goals useful in all sorts of things, but for exercise more than most. Cycling and walking are the only physical exercise I can say I really enjoy, and setting a goal for bike mileage really helps in keeping fit and strong (and as with AH, in keeping the waistline under control!)
And also through cycling I have met some great friends...

+1 on that Ian.
Just caught up with all my rides in the log and hopefully i'll keep up to date for the rest of the year.
As for a goal for next year, i'll think about that nearer the start of 2011. I'm on target for this years total of 10215.
Why 10215 John?

I also log on bikerides.com and they have a virtual ride across the states, your position is shown on a map and 10215 is the distance from the west coast to the east and back, finishing at the grand canyon.
Just another bit of fun and i've made a few freinds over there too.

You meet some interesting people through cycling - most have different views to your own and are are very diverse people, but usually agreeable and good to be with.

I'm watching.
That's a lot of extra km to do in 2 months.As for "mileage" goals, I should meet my 17,000km goal for this year, and was thinking of setting next year's to 20,000km, just to challenge myself. Given that I switched from an 80km/week to 270km/week commute in mid-March, it might just be achievable.
