Whatcha get this year? Mine stats are all on a mountain bike; all in the dirt; all on single track.

Sure wish Strava included other trophies.

 

[J.B. Weld]

430 hours and 400,000 ft. Many, many miles. A really great year on the bike.

 

[sgltrak]

316 hours
244000'

l generally agree with what you post, but not now.
I think its good for some folks to post what they did, as its a motivation to do better.
For some folks doing better is the purity of enjoyment. l know l like to do better (than last year) but thats my personal battle, and l personally dont need to post about it, but just saying that others do.
Cheers

I haven't raced in a few years, so data logging is about all I do these days. When I was racing, it was the results that mattered and the training was the vehicle to those results. Those days are likely behind me now. (but there is always a chance...)

This year I hope to do more of everything...and to do it better...

(And when I say "everything," I mean EVERYTHING and doing it BETTER, on and off the bike!)

I don't disagree with you, Chris, and I generally agree with what you post, too.
Maybe I'm just a bitter old man who knows his glory days are behind him.
Honestly, my comment wasn't intended to be harsh on the people who post in this thread, it's more the ruminations of an old guy who grew up in a society that awarded trophies to those who's achievements put them on the podium.
These days it seems that every kid with a mom who'll drive him/her to the venue gets a trophy and I personally feel this is a failure of our current culture.
Just my opinion; not asking anyone to agree with it.

P.S. Sincere thanks for being gentle with me.

Did you say bitter old men or dirty old men?
Happy birthday! Let’s go riding. Strictly bikes.

All but 100miles was on a MTB.

Picked up a few trophies along the way, FWIW.

This was my first full year back on the bike in about 30 years. I still got lots of riding in even though I had a couple of medical issues which kept me off the bike for a while this year.

I did pretty good:

36 inappropriate Strava comments
18 double entendres
14 hotties stalked

How are you guys getting your other year end Strava results?

 

[whipnet]

Can't believe I got even that much elevation in flat flat flat Houston.

 

[cookieMonster]

Didn’t get quite as much vert as last year, but I also spent some of my time trail building instead of riding. Almost all of my rides were high-quality this year though.👍👍

You forgot two numbers: Number of restraining orders sought against you and the number obtained against you!

Wow, that is almost the opposite of my stats, with a lot of elevation versus miles. Aiming for 250k this year.
