In the AZ forum, a yearly stats thread was started. Let's do one here and see what the older riders are doing. Here's mine.
Some is road, but, most is MTBing.
I have no interest in recording mileage. For me the important thing is how much fun I had. Smiles per mile if you will. Not sure how to measure that. Time with friends and family on and off the bike, trail building, road tripping, teaching others, this is what keeps me going. I ride for my own enjoyment and don't need anyone else to validate it for me.
Pretty sad, I didn't track the whole year but I clocked 1,400 miles, 109,000 elevation, 129 hours, mostly all trail riding. Maybe another 300 miles or so and ~20.000' off the record.
I got a hundred excuses, probably more if I really reached. Oh well, tomorrow's a new year!
I never record road....but then, I don't get much road distance.
753.83 miles over the summer
127:16:18 for time
131,971 feet of climb
Almost all above 6500 MSL
All in Utah
i dont own a car and i record everything,even a trip to the store,but to me a bike ride is a bike ride,the only important thing is turning over the cranks...
in total 5703 miles,235,000 and change in climbing....about 20% of the miles on singlespeed be it road or dirt...
10,565 mi. total, 5417 of those on my fatbikes. I live in the Phoenix area so weather seldom stops me from riding and being Diabetic I should get exercise every day (I'm very good about that). Lucky Me that I get to spend so much time on my bikes!

I averaged 8 hours and 17 minutes per week of exercise for the year ending up with 429 hours (cycling, weight lifting, walking).
I totaled 50 hours less exercise in 2016 than the two previous years due to family related events/transitions, and a three week vacation overseas. Still within reason for my age which I have a target of 425-475 hours annually to allow for recovery between bouts.
I've got a bucket list of doing some 50 mile MTB races this year, so I just finished the first two weeks of a 12 week endurance training plan that had me at 13 1/2 hours, and 15 hours respectively before this week's lighter week of 10 hours. I find it more mentally challenging due to the Winter weather, but so far so good...:thumbsup:
In 2016 rode an average 1 to 2 days per week (usually caturday and funday). I can only track time. Typically 2 to 4 hours each ride. I take pics on all my rides and post them up on fb and mtbr.
I'm better at tracking my running distances using Map My Run (555.6 km since April). The tool can also track just about any workout type including mtb... if anyone is interested and doesn't use Strava or GPS
In between I do crossfit 6 hours per week. (ie 6 days). I keep a log of all my workouts, lifts, PRs, etc.
I work full time so my free time is precious I feel proud of my achievements in 2016 and I am really looking forward to more fun in 2017.
Had a 450-hour goal because I MTB a lot and miles are kinda meaningless. I was on track but December led to a long vacation with kids to Disney World, a nasty cold and a death in the family in Oklahoma. But I noticed I was closing in on 6K miles so I went for it at the end, cold and all.
57 years old with 5 kids, including 3-year-old twins.

Didn't record everything, but close. Didn't quite make my mileage, time, or elevation goals, but close. I'll blame the shortages on Colorado winter weather and being out of town for nearly 7 weeks.
Of these miles, about 120 were on my road bike and the rest were on mountain bikes. About 1000 of the miles were on roads to and from trail heads and the rest were trail miles.
I don't do strava. I wouldn't be able to read those little numbers anyway. I am sure I got at least 48,000 miles but then I was a delivery driver for the first 9 months... Oh do you mean just the miles that I rode my bike???? That's a lot less.
Due to problems with a nagging old injury I only did 900 miles on road and about 250 off road. On a brighter note, we almost have this thing whipped now!
