[QUOTE 3908799, member: 9609"]That is about what I do as well, I am trying to average 50 mile per week of rides over 10 miles in length, usually do 2 or 3 a week and so far this year they have added up to 2052 miles + 132,220' ascent and i think that is a lot of cycling.
But on top of that I do a fair bit of faffing about on the bike that I don't really think counts, there is a little 2.7 mile circuit with no ascent that I usually do a couple of times a day, once in the morning and then again in the evening just to loosen my joints off with (gettin old and falling to bits lol) and this in itself often adds up to over 50 a week. So in total about 5000 a year but only 2500 of proper cycling...[/QUOTE]
I have only done 97,500ft of climbing, as did a bit of winter peloton training with a group from a charity ride I did from Swansea to Crystal Palace. There's also a 25 mile route that I like, where there's about 1,000ft of climbing, that I treat as a sort of time trial.
Next years target is elevation. Not sure what target yet though.

I have given up trying to get better mileage targets , commuting cerainly helps but weekend rides are a bit hit and miss depending on wifes/kids etc so if i get over 4750 for the year im happy.

Might need to calibrate that Garmin
The Garmin is fine. It's these Android phones that need some work.Might need to calibrate that Garmin

Living where I do at the ft/mile climbing ratio i'm currently doing it would be around 1100 miles to do 97000 ft of climbing. Strava challenges are usually 9000m or 11000m per month and they get completed every time as I simply don't really need to do much milage to complete them.Might need to calibrate that Garmin
