1,536 for me but I have only bin keeping count for the last 6 months, I don't think it is too bad for a 65 year old that only goes around the block most of the time , the block is 17 miles

I don't record every mile but average about 300-350 mile a week for 35 weeks or so. Less mileage the other 17 weeks of winter. I'm not a stage racer and do not do 100-150 mile days. No need to. 50 miles per day is what I aim for in season unless I'm simply too beat. I do most of this mileage at 85% effort or better. I'm not an advocate of LSD.

My total was 3925, slightly short of my goal of 4000. Maintenance on the grounds and the herd cut into my riding time more than I liked.

3,700 miles on the road bike, ???? on the MTB. I got the road bike the last week of February and didn't ride until March so I guess my total really only counts 10 months. I am proud of the number and expect it go up to 5,000+ in 2010.

I have to gather all my various inputs but I think I'm right around 2200 for last year.

That's amazing for anyone. 60-70 miles a day is a bit much for me and I'm one third his age.

4K and change for me, March to November, weekly mileage drops dramatically when daylight savings kicks in, wife won't let me ride in the dark. Hoping to pick it up a bit next year.

Was wondering if riding on a trainer counts??? Way to many hours with bike hooked up to a Minoura!!!! Hack, what do you think of yours? I didn't have a clue when I got it and took me a while to figure it out.

Nowhere near what I was hoping to reach, thanks to uncooperative weather in my area and my unpredictable work schedule. Only a pitiful 360.47 miles total for this past season.
