5848 miles for the year. 152 miles shy of my goal of 6,000 miles. Not too shabby in my opinion for someone who is about to turn 82 years old next month. šŸ˜

I turn 66 in 2 months and am always looking for role models like you. Congrats!

Three years ago, my wife and I traveled thru San Antonio in our travel trailer. Very nice place to be.

Chief and Slowpokepete are my heroes!

Don't have a smart trainer and only ride on the trainer under duress :-) but no beef with trainer miles by others.

I measured just under 2,100 miles but haven't ever recorded the MTB, commuting, and errand riding until the past few weeks when I got the Wahoo Elemnt. So guesstimate 3,000 miles in 2019, and would like to see a modest increase in 2020, along with some short haul credit card tours. My new ankle brace is working out, so I think I will have increased ability to ride longer rides (>50 miles) and so perhaps get in a 100 miler or two, which I haven't done in ten years (longest this year were a couple in the low 70s, which is a long one on Martha's Vineyard without doubling back :-)

Impressive.

I turned in a 'worst year in quite a while' total of less than thousand miles--and I'm a couple of decades younger...

2020 will be better!

I retired in February and celebrated by riding > 1,000 per month through April of last year. I totaled 8,673 miles, the most I've ever ridden. I also started running after a 30+ year break. I ran all of 150 miles last year, (if you can call what I was doing running.)

My goal this year is to continue to work at running, hike more, ride some gravel events during our summer in OR, and not obsess about mileage on the bike.
