So just how far did I ride in 2005?
At the beginning o the year I thought I would try and keep track of my annual mileage for the sake of future comparison. It turns out to be far less than I had originally hoped.
| Bike | Start 2005 | End 2005 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| * All figures in miles. ** That's 99 miles since the entire running gear was changed to Shimano LX. |
|||
| Marin Rift Zone | 2208 | 2954 | 754 |
| Marin Muirwoods | 99** | 283 | 184 |
So, the overall results came out at a disappointing total of 938 miles which was considerably less than I had hoped. As I mentioned in an earlier post it is theoretcially possible without too much effort to achieve some 2100 miles. In effect this means I have only ridden for six months this year.
This is surprising because when I have cycled, particularly the commute to work, I've tried hard and achieved a good pace. It just goes to show the value of actually keeping track of what you do because I feel I have been kidding myself over the amount of exercise I have been doing.
Here's hoping for a more consistent (and fitter) 2006.

In the fine tradition of good intentions and empty promises that people make at this time of year in the post Christmas, over-indulged hiatus running up to New Year I have taken the bold step of actually putting into 'print'...
