The "I will ride _____km in 2024" thread - commit and conquer here!!

All I'm going say is I'm 200km short on last years distance

I'm currently 100km up on last year while riding 8.5hrs less.
The result of lockdown road rides vs mainly mtbing last year

Biggest climb is the single highest climb, not the total

Pretty sure it has to be a single segment to count as well.

 

[Cardy George]

So 9800 thus far?

Not yet, but that looks to be the final tally

 

[MarioM]

Just looked at mine . 383 km only due to a shoulder .

Gonna push for the 3000 by the end of the year but will be tough now I’m back at work. Quite a few COVID kilometres in that total. Was averaging 150km per week instead of my usual 30

 

[Calvin27]

On track to hit 5200 in a year. First time hitting those numbers. Was a breezer and most years I have failed mainly because I prioritised mtb ofver road riding. But with 5km circle lockdown rules, it was quite the challenge to get the numbers. Basically required every day riding given the time and distance limitations over winter in Vic.

10k a year is awesome.

10k a year is awesome.

Every year it's the aim, every year it's far beyond the reality.

Cheers mate. Last year was the first time I cracked 10k, might make it again, might not.

I nearly made it 2 years and cracked it 2 years... maybe 2015 and 2016, one of them being 11.5k IRRC.

Since then its been down hill as the 3 wise men predicted above.

Aiming to get back there... but not 2020.

See what you can do between now & midnight, @ozzybmx

Looking good for 5.5k this year. A lot of that was tough slog too, having to find motivation to jump on a bike after a long day on the tools. Covid seems to have seen everyone but me with more free time

I’m enjoying seeing the hours vs the actual distance - interesting stuff

I used to look at it and think why people posted low kms but high hours, MTB is the answer, freewheeling at 30kph on a roadie is much different than dirt.

On the beers, #1 son just away for his second ride today...

Yeah I have more hours on my MTB and more kms on my roadie

 

[Cardy George]

Made me look. Works out to about 22.5 kmh average this year. All on an MTB, roadie hasn't come down from the shed rafters since last September

The lifetime distance started when I bought my first Garmin in March 2011. I had a about 10 years and thousands of kays on a Polar before that.

Mine was the same, I was a Strava hater... then folded. My first year was 2011-2012 but only partial year of about 5 months IRRC.

The shit I rode before then should be recorded, so much solo exploring.

 

[Cardy George]

I wasn't anti-Strava, more pro- riding buddy who worked in a bike shop who kept giving me his old Polars every time he upgraded. Who was I to say no?

 

[ozzybmx]

It was a stigma back then, Strava was for serious riders... these days I get to pay premium for another bloke, so after ~7 years of my premium, I am now army issue, but still pay Premium

Look out for premium x 3 soon @Cardy George
