I put in a lot of flat road miles in SLO this year, but next year a million should be easy since I'm riding in the East Bay and focusing on mtb again.
Year-to-Date
Distance 11,153.8mi

I'm in a big training block now, so probably 40-50k more in the next 20 days.
edit: If I get really close to some sort of exciting number, I will fudge it with run data

This year started out well, then with a new job, moving, back to school and a broken bike it's not ending all that well, climbing wise. Good thing the new cross bike is almost done and I have a pair of slicks already mounted.

Funny you should ask, looks like I'll hit 500,000' sometime today. Garmin says:
Elevation Gain:
499,646 ft
I'm riding less this year; just bike commuting and pleasure riding. My ride home from work is minimum 1100' uphill every night. I bike commute 3-4 times a week.
Edit: Strava says 483,645ft. Yeah, I upload to both.
I just ride my bike, up, down, around, and enjoy it. I have no electronics on me except for a turned off cell phone and a digital camera. No clue or cares as to how far ,fast, or how much. I prefer to smell the fungi and wildflowers
I'm with Buzz Cut. No electronics for me. If I were aiming for some arbitrary mileage, or climbing goal, it would just stress me out. I ride to relieve stress, not add to it.
Its kind of interesting to divide the footage by the mileage.
Leopold 117 ft/mi
rednova 187
menso 68 (road miles)
motorbacon 81
SeanAllen 114
mbolt 144
where 140
nordy 85
As kind of a standard, I mostly ride the ARSA (clementine, culvert, FHDL, etc) and I logged a 144.
Not sure where rednova rides, but it must be on the side of a cliff.
If you worked up some averages this metric could serve as a good way of rating rides and riding areas. I'll have to throw that in the strava suggestion box.

I was pretty obsessed with tracking elevation last year, but have stopped this year. A lot of commitments are keeping me to 1 mtb ride a week so trying to squeeze more time in on the bike via commuting which is pretty flat. More miles, but while I was ahead of last year through June or July I'm pretty sure my total would be under 250K if I was still tracking every ride.
rednova's numbers are from Marin, most good riding here requires a lot of steep climbing. It's hard to ride 20 miles without at least 3.7-4K of climbing, 187 is right on the money.
Overall a solid active year for a guy w/four kids and a busy work schedule.
The great thing is my son who is 8 has really taken to riding so hopefully I'll be able to continue "double ride" weekends and maybe break 350K next year. All miles and footies are a gift!
