Congratulations.
I would have to smash my computer before even considering that much time in the saddle.
Then put the kids up for adoption.

Well done Nuke
I got within a 1000miles of it a couple of years back and was thwarted by illness and injury ,since then I've not managed to get much over 7500miles for various reasons.

Wow!
Today is Day 356.
Very impressive to say the least.
10,000miles in 356 days is 28.09miles a day average.
That's 28miles every day seven days a week.
If you were like me and only rode (say) three days a week, it would mean 65miles every time I went out.

Well Done
I don't think I've ever had more about 5000 or 6000 miles in a year. Maybe when I was a teenager, but I never kept track, then.
If I added my cycling miles to my driving miles, I don't know if I'd get over 10000.
Enjoy the sense of accomplishment

I'm about there I reckon, slightly more.Vorpal wrote:If I added my cycling miles to my driving miles, I don't know if I'd get over 10000.
4,000odd on the bike, 6,000odd in the car.
10,000 miles on a bike = respect.

Indeed if necessary a couple of extra long rides will be added in somewhere......

Re: 10,000 miles in a year finally
dont want to be a kill joy but a very strange matter? are you really sure you did 10,000 miles? maybe you didnt set up your cycle computer properly? I suppose some where you have to put in the wheel diameter? maybe your 10,000 miles is 10,000 mini miles?
