  1. I have pedaled over 3,000 miles this year! Of course I suppose
    instead of hooray, I could say "didn't I have anything better to do
    with my time?" But no, I didn't. How far have you all gone?

    Ted,

    Congratulations. Riding is a lot of fun, isn't it? Keep having fun, and
    more good things will happen. and keep the rubber side down.

    1600 miles since the beginning of June. Doesn't feel like *that*
    much :-)

    'Way to go! This was a slow year for me, mileage-wise. Not only did
    we have ice/snow on the roads until ~April, but I spent a lot of time
    hiking over the summer. (On the up-side, I got in a lot of snow-
    shoeing and had some wonderful hikes.)

    I think my total will be around 2,000 miles for the year when all is
    said and done. But they were "quality" miles... :-)

    Ted,

    I'll bet you'd enjoy tracking your mileage and "competing" against other
    cyclists by way of http://www.bikejournal.com/home.asp

    It's free! At least it is if you want it to be.

    What could be better use of your time than cycling?

    Well, I'm not done, by any means, with 2007. I'm on track for ~4000 this
    year.

    About 2100. Piddly mileage for some of you dudes and dudettes, but
    quite satisfactory for me.

    Only a few hundred, but I had a lousy summer.

    Maybe my lousy summer was because I wasn't on the bike enough. Hmmmm.

    the key is to ride thru the winter. if you pass the 6000 mile mark,
    you will be in good shape. i shooting for 7000 this year, in fact i am
    in my third set of tires. the first ones were maxis and they really
    suck! one exploded on me with less than 1000 miles.

    I just passed 3000 as well and am still going so far. I think the
    darkness will put a damper on my riding in December and January. Too
    many little things you can't see when it gets too dark. My goal for
    next year is 4000.

    My usual 2400 on the commuter bike, plus about 850 on the fun-only,
    light, fast, beautiful road bike. A second bike => more miles ridden.
    It's like I always say sometimes, bikes, like tools, are not an expense,
    they're an investment.

    I hit 2,800 this week, so it looks like 3,000 for me by year end, or
    maybe 5,000 kilometers if the Chicago weather cooperates.
