Lets see some ride figures for 2018

And after a whole day's practice, the rehearsal, our last ever, was cancelled. So I did, all unbeknownst like, have the time to do the ride, but...too late! It was dark by then and I don't have lights good enough for that.
Bum.

You don't need strong lights to ride round the block on lit streets...especially now the roads are quiet...or you can go out at first light in the morning for 15 minutes to do a couple of miles!

It’s not quantity it’s quality of miles that counts. So many carry on with junk miles & not enough recovery.

Surely it depends why you cycle? Most of us aren't training for a racing season (or pretend sportive races )

Well with 1 day to go, my total for 2018 is far more than I planned. 9782 miles so far & tomorrow it will be dark by the time I get home, so will only manage a zwift session. Would have made 10k again this year had I not had a weekend away & illness for a week earlier this month .
I doubt I'll get out as much next year, but I didn't think I'd get out so much this year, so here's hoping

Sorted with one day to go, ended the year with 159 extra miles, 7000 was my goal.

I’d love to do 10,000 a year but unfortunately work & family won’t allow.

I'll try and get some in tomorrow. It will be short though. End-of-rock-band-career NYE bash in a medium venue, 16kW PA, I'll need all the strength I can muster. And ear protection.
A standard gig is 2x45 minutes. We'll be doing a 90-minute first set, 30 minute break, then another 2 hours encompassing the shenanigans at midnight.
I will not be getting up early the next morning.

Sounds like fun!

I don't have computers on any of my bikes and I don't use Strava. This means I can make up any mileage I like.

It is fun! Not something you do if you don't enjoy it, it's damned hard work. But can be so rewarding. However at 66, it takes a bit of recovering from, I can tell you!

1301 miles for me (the 1 makes all the difference )

A little disappointed, as It’s my lowest since getting back into cycling, in 2013, over 300 down on last year.

Excuses being the very cold weather in the first 3 months of the year and the very hot weather across the summer, coupled with the World Cup, meaning on many evenings I simply couldn’t be bothered to get out and would rather sit in the garden with a beer and then watch football!!

Hopefully 2019 will be a higher mileage year, only I can make that happen though.

 

[LarryDuff]

That's me finished for 2018. 3003 miles.

Quality may be defined as scenery, company, the mental benefits, many things. The idea of junk miles does not apply if you are not out cycling to get faster, or train etc. etc.

Total Distance 3,950miles
Total Climbing 328,809ft
Average Speed 14.04mph

A little bit less than the distance I've done over the past few years but a little bit quicker. Having said that, 83.2ft/mile, whilst hilly, is one of my flattest years

Now finished for the year, back to zero tomorrow:

and for those that like it metric:
