Hit my 3000 mile target for the year this month which was not bad considering I had two months off with gall bladder issues and another two months with a clavicle fracture - and I don't commute by bike because I don't work anymore!! Thats why I can go for rides instead. . Maybe aim at 5000 miles next year......
