How many miles do you average per year?

[ClockworkOrange]

I have only been riding 6 years and despite various times my back has not been too good, plus a couple of injuries I have managed to clock up 6000 miles.

For me this is brilliant, I have never been into sport and to suddenly start cycling at the age of fifty, I am more than pleased with myself.

I know there are many of you who cycle an amazing amount of miles per year.

The reason I put this thread up was when I was reading Caligurl's homepage, well worth looking at: http://caligurl.com/bikergurl/ Some great pics but I was so amazed that she has ridden 14,555 in her two years of riding!

So, let's hear how many you have done and whether it was on a road or MTB.

BTW...........Have a great Christmas.

This is my first year of logging miles. I've got 6500 right now and will probably end up with 6650- 6700.
I also live where you ride year around (well , summers here do tend to be pretty rugged). when i lived in Pennsylvania, I think I managed about 4000, with pretty much zero riding between November and April.

I bought my bike at 48.5 years. This is the first full year I have had it and logged 2060 miles, I managed to do a ride every month from April to December. Pretty rare around here except for the major masochistic hard core cyclists - the weather was just very cooperative this year.

Well, in 2 years, I have logged around 4,800 miles. Pretty meger compared to some of the hardcore cyclists I ride with.

And I think I logged around 3,300 of those miles in 2006 alone.

Thanks!!!! Merry Christmas all!

I've been cycling for 3 years and this will be my second year logging in over 10000 miles. I managed 12100 in 2005 and will end up with 11750 in 2006. I love to ride!

It looks like I'll wind the year up with somewhere between 5,800 and 5,900. I had projected my milage, on BikeJournal, to be 5,000 for 2006 so I'm ahead of schedule and quite happy. Using the trainer during the cold months when I refuse to ride outside made a big difference this year and I'm hoping to have another good year in 2007. I'm rethinking my initial goal of 5,500 miles for 2007, may up it to 6,000 depending on how brave I feel.
