2019 was a good riding year for me. I enjoy riding at least as much at this
juncture as I ever have.
- 4100 total miles (3200 miles in 2018), mostly commuting on the
Hunqapillar. I also explored more of the country roads in Napa on my
Romulus (the only bike I have without fenders or
Dorothy, awesome! I love your goal for 2020. I also loved reading about your
bikes - I, too, want a Cheviot with dynamo lighting! We’re kindred spirits
since I have the 2019 Clem L (blue) and am also using my Apple Watch to log
miles. I downloaded Map My Ride and used it yesterday for the first
I accepted Leah's initial challenge for 1000, so I guess I'll go for 1300
non-ebike miles, too. That's a lot for me these days!

I just made a video on Instagram with my 2020 biking goal of 1000 miles. But
then I figured out how to add up all 2019’s miles on my Apple Watch and
realized I had 1,019.65 for this year. I guess I should shoot for 1300 instead.
My numbers are pretty modest, but I live so far out in suburbia
Pedaling an Atlantis and a SamH I clocked in at 1,506 miles (modest number
as well). Mostly accumulated from errands and a part-time commute at 14-17
miles per ride (various routes). A few longer rides were sprinkled in as
well. Sharing my riding time with regular yoga classes and weekly
Mine are very modest compared to the rest of the posters here. I only live a
mile from work, so my total for the year was 895 miles, comprising 543 rides.
Approximately 1445 kilometers, versus the prior year’s 625 miles / 1005
kilometers. I built up a Cheviot early in 2019, which has become my

(10,000 km) but did not come close. I rode 2450 miles, most of it commuting. I
hope to get back on track for 2020. My highlight may be that I rode a ton of
bikes with not a ton of miles on any of them. My stable is
A relevant aside. At a pee stop during this morning's ride, I talked to an
older man riding a tadpole recumbent. He had been an avid cyclist but had a
stroke about 6 years ago, so he bought his tadpole. Retired, he rode 7,500
miles this past year.

renovelo-ed the Rambouillet (bought new at RBW in 2006) as an upright townie
and the Road as a light racy short brevet bike. Both are smashing successes.
About 1,000 miles each on the Riv Road (frame came from this list in
I had a good year even with lots of challenging weather here in Minneapolis
(polar vortex temps down to -30 and the wettest year in recorded history).
Managed a bit over 8,000 miles, about 20% of those miles were commuting to
the office. I would guess another 20% were on non-paved surfaces
- 3 bikepacking trips, totaling two weeks, one of which went as planned.
- 3 new gates closing off forest service roads to private property. Ah, the
joys of new Colorado, where land owners experience too much abuse of
privilege of access and simply shut it down.

1852 miles after today's 33 mile ride. I have long suffered from chronic
depression, and thus ride the equivalent of about half the weeks in a year,
with the added complication that, after a layoff, recovery now takes longer
when you are old. I managed to do 4K/year back when I commuted across
