I took January off, I'd found myself spending too much time riding for the sake of it, so had a break and did other stuff including a fair bit of walking. I still rode to work, though as that's round the corner it only came to 100 miles for the month. February didn't do much either, when there was the will there wasn't the weather. Had a bit of a re-focus and am being a lot more selective about when and where I go, March & April picked up with fewer rides than last year, but more time spent on unfamiliar roads.
Totals for the year so far - Utility 546 miles in 74 rides, CTC group 276 miles in 7 rides, Touring 161 miles in 3 rides, Audax 684 miles in 4 rides, other leisure 306 miles in 9 rides. So a grand total of 1,973 miles in 97 rides, though I haven't ridden every day and some days are multiple rides. That's quite a few rides less than this time last year, though totalling it up I'm surprised it isn't much less mileage, probably helped along by the Audaxing which I haven't done much of for the last couple of years.
I've picked out quite a lot of rides I'd like to do this year, CTC and Audax, no tour planned as work is a currently too precarious to plan around. I'll see how it goes, I've had some really nice rides so far this year and although I'm an unapologetic number collector it's a year for quality over quantity.
December wasn't good for me. Weather mainly.
I thought when I started working part time, and when much of that work would be on a bike, I'd get many more miles in, alas it ain't so.
