My goal was to reach 5000 this year -- and I'm on track to do it -- but wow it's hard. I work full time, have two teenage boys in sports (but they can't yet drive themselves) and have an hour car commute each way. So it's taking a lot more free time and a whole lot more advanced planning than I'm always comfortable with (I'll often have the bike and ride for the hour the boys are practicing, etc.) I just want to prove I can do it. I've done two "events" this year RAIN at 160 miles and the Horsey Hundred at 100. I'd do better if I signed up for more of those, but all of the rides I want to do seem to fall on basketball or soccer tournament weekends.

I cannot even FATHOM riding 10K per year. Just WOW. I have to ride nearly every day to get where I'm at (albeit I often can only fit in 10 or 15 miles before it gets dark when I get home).
