How many miles do you average per year?

I've been riding since fall 2000, right before I turned 47. The first year and a half I think I rode about 800-1,000 miles on my Voodoo mtb. I didn't have a computer on my bike for the first few months. I got my first road bike in Sept. 2002. The first season I rode 1700 miles. The next year I rode about 2,000. I got a different bike in July 2004 and for the 2004 season I think I had about 2100 miles. Last year I had 2401 miles, and right now I am sitting at 3,004 miles for 2006 (and another new bike. I guess I'm addicted). The weather was in my favor this year, so I was able to get out a lot more in the fall. I don't count trainer, spin class, or my mountain bike rides in my total. I like mountain biking, but I go really slowly and usually not more than 6-10 miles, so it's not that much!
I am not sure how much I will ride next season. With the warm weather this fall and winter, there doesn't seem to be much of an "off" season... I will not be working after June, but I want to be reasonable with my goal, knowing that although I will probably being doing Wednesday and Friday club rides on a regular basis for much of the year, I don't want to be a slave to being on my bike. I want to keep it fun. I'm thinking that a goal of 3500 miles would be most reasonable, since I plan to do some commuting on my bike for errands. That way, if I pass my goal, it will seem like icing on the cake.

I started riding seriously (well, sort of) in 2001 but didn't get serious about tracking miles until this year. I am still hoping to hit 2000 miles, I am about 48 miles short.
We have bike rides planned for the weekend, so I have my hopes up that i can reach that goal.

TONI, there are a lot of us TE gals on Bikejournal. You can see my mileage there too.

Between my time on the trainer stand and my time out on the roads I generally do 50-80 miles a weeks. So, that projects out to at least 2500 miles a year. The new bike computer I got for the road bike tells me I've done close to 900 miles since I got it at the beginning of September.

wow! thanx for the compliments on my little site! lol! it's just something i started to keep a record of my rides and a place to post pics (it comes in handy when people ask about a specific ride.... i can send them to the page with ride pics on it!)

i've cut WAY back of riding this year... and even moreso as the year has gone on and as it get's colder... i've discovered that now that newbie-itis has worn off... that i'm less tolerant of cold! BRRRRRRRRR (that's MY definition of cold bounced the heat i ride in!)

i've also discovered a new love: mountain biking! yes... prissy me! "i don't like to get durty!"

we'll see what the new year brings and once it starts warming up in the spring!
