Time to close the books.

I've been cycling for 8 years and every year I set myself the target of 100 miles/ week = 5,200 miles and every year I fail. I think the nearest I got was about 4,600 miles

....until this year!!!!!

5,255 miles; a few contributory factors:

LEJOG added about 1,000 miles in less than two weeks. I've never done a bike tour before and probably won't do one as long as that again

I have done lots of foreign business trips in the past which have typically taken at least 6 weeks out of the year. Change of direction means no trips this year

What holidays I did manage I was permitted to take the bike and do a bit (Cornwall and La Gomera)

No target for 2022. LEJOG was what got me to the target this year and I won't be doing that again

I was banned from any exercise by the Consultant.I have no idea what cycling would do to a hydrocele.

8,298 Outdoors GPS miles according to Veloviewer but I was too lazy to round it up to day

Lower total than I'd have liked this year - last year was great, but this year, I'm close to half of last year's total.

But when I checked the total this afternoon, it was 1990.6 km. Can't leave it there. So out for a wee 10k spin round the town.

This year's total is 2001km.

Longest ride - and highlight - was the 100 mile "Ride to the Sun", overnight at midsummer from Carlisle to Edinburgh.

This year 2923 miles according to Strava - but I missed a few out due to either forgetting to start it or it having no charge etc etc etc

so probably close to 3000 miles

worst month by a long way was December - only 9 hours in total where most months were over 20 hours. Caused by a combination of bad weather and a bad cold annoying the asthma.

2810 miles for me after this afternoon, including a couple of imperial halves and my first metric century. A bit better than last year. Could have been 3000 if January hadn't been an almost total write off, so that, and the metric half challenge, are the targets for 2022.

I managed a total of 576 hours of cycling this year. Which works out at approx 11 hours average biking every week. Biking represents 64% of my recorded exercise, the rest being walking. Walking being shown as 324 hours or an average of 53 minutes walking on every day of the year. Last year I managed 715 hours of cycling.

4225 miles, split between my Thorn and my Spa. Not bad given that I didn’t do a long tour this summer. The Thorn does the every day jobs like shopping and commuting, the Spa gets the fun rides. Feel privileged to live in such a wonderful part of the country ensuring diversity in rides from the garage door.

Just commuted home from work . Finished on 9447 miles couldn't be bother to ride the extra 3 for a nice round figure . Happy with the figure which is lower than the last 4 years but personally 2021 has been a terrible year resulting in lots of days of the bike which I hadn't missed a day on the bike for in 35 months prior to the snow in January

I do my totals on a weekly basis, so from Monday 28th December 2020 to Sunday 26th December 2021 my total cycling miles was 9442.41 (I love the accuracy of a Garmin!). Admittedly doing around 25 miles per day commuting helps, plus I'm rather pleased to maintain my run of 100+ miles each week although the week ending 14th Feb was a bit difficult thanks to the snow & ice from the Beast from the East 2.
Screen shot below of how it all added up.

3001.5 miles. Rubbish, again.

 

[vickster]

Just got in…2544 miles (or 4093km if I want to make it look better )
That doesn’t include any time spent on gym bike or turbo.
First 5 months of year were very lean following ankle and then knee surgery!!
Had a better than usual December though

1.5 is maybe rubbish but 3000+ is 👏
