How many km's this year?

[PaulTCR]

How many sad Huber’s are there like me who record practically every pedal stroke and mindlessly spew it all onto a spread sheet. I have one page for each ride then another page to compare similar rides.

 

Anyway, now we’re at the end of the year I am the proud owner of mindless information on how far and fast and high I went in 2010.

 

Last two years were around the 4500 mark but this year went well with more training and more races. I had 5000 in mind but it soon became evident that 6000 might be attainable. I devised another spreadsheet page to tell me what percentage of 6000 I was on and what total I would reach if I continued at the current average rate. 94.7, Noon2Moon, Pilgrims, and Sabie Experience helped boost the figures in December and this last Tuesday saw the 6000 milestone. The Wife and I actually stopped and took a picture!

 

Then, whilst entering the data that evening I noticed that 6205 would be a nice round figure to achieve as that would equate to an average of 17 km per day. So, today I was hard at it in 30+ temps making sure that even with the most major of mechanicals I could even push my bike the last few km to reach the target. A surprising stat is that during all this my ascent was in excess of 91000 metres.

 

I bet there are many out there who would laugh at such figures. I remember someone asking the ‘how many have you done in a month’ question a while back and his total was three times my average. But for someone bordering on Masters and with a proper job, I don’t think 6205 is bad.

I think I did about 2000km this year. Bad year for me as I was aiming for 6K - I commute to work each day so I can easily do 4K a year if I take my longer routes to the office.

[Starvin' Marvin]

9231km this year.

Had just passed 20k in September when I had a crash in the US and that is when it all stopped.

Wow, reading PaulTCR, maybe my new year's resolution would be to measure annual mileage, maybe not in as intense detail though!

[leet22]

not really sure but i would say around 4000+

Hi,

I average +/- 9000 every year. But living in the country makes it is a lot easier to ride most mornings. This morning was a bummer, it was raining. Not that I should be moaning because the rain is great and we realy need it.

Regards

I have no idea - I don't even have a distance/odo thingy on my bikes. I ride on time.

Interesting little thread, those who are doing 5k+, are you riding every single day or just hammering it on the weekends?

Would also be interesting to see the on / off road split. I'm guesing most of these km's are done on-road?

[EigerSA]

I lost my bike computer a while back, but worked out that I did about 2800km's during my weekly commute to work and back, and about another 2000km's over weekend rides... side 4800km's for me.
