I have a vague idea of how many miles I ride each year – it is somewhere around the Not as Much as I Would Like mark. Every New Year I resolve to start logging my cycling mileage to try and arrive at a definitive figure. In the back of my mind there are dreams Excel spreadsheets, monthly comparisons, even building up a set of annual profiles (should I dare to dream it?). By February I have lapsed. This year I plan to be different and give up on the lapsing part. And now you all know, so World, if I lapse now, you’re almost as much to blame as I am!
(As of 4th January I am up to 30 miles)
You need a Garmin/gadget and Strava/MapMyRide/Garmin Connect
I use Strava, but not on everyride – I don’t usually bother recording every commute ride, and that is a significant chunk of my annual mileage. Perhaps I should be more disciplined with recording, but then gadgets don’t always log…
Thanks for reading
Let strava do it for you. Only have to remember to start AMD stop it
logging in the miles is great fun,.i have 2 objectives,../.1..kms that i aim to accomplish../.2 kms that i would like to accomplish, i find that if i have achieved No 1 and have the time i then go for No 2…but i aim for 15,000kms per year..nice article Geoff
Cheers Geoff. I wish I had the time for 15000km/year…when I’ve made my millions, perhaps then!
