37.4, does that put me in the lead? :-)

How far did I ride? Not very far, just to the loop and back :p
129 only commuting--there has been no fun in Mudville this winter! And I feel like a slug. How do you feel better? ;-) ?

My best guess is 130-140 miles.
When I think about the fact that I've ridden as far in two months as I used to ride in a typical weekend at one point in my life.... it's odd that I feel like I'm in better shape now than I was then.
Probably because I learned about a decade ago that exercising daily doesn't mean you can eat whatever you want....and am slowly starting to learn to apply that....

I use a fitness log provided by US Masters Swimming to log swimming, cycling and a few measures (weight, resting heart rate, etc). That makes it pretty easy to tot up the score. As of yesterday, I'm at 237 miles.
Nice ride in today, BTW. I rode Clark from Evanston for the first time in a long while.
My official answer is "not enough" and I'll leave it at that.
I hear you.

I'm not working so I have no reason to ride but I do a 20 mile round trip for errands, grab a few drinks in Andersonville once a week.
Locally I usually walk so I'm in about 100 miles, since the first of the year.
I've been trying to continue with my pre-dawn fitness ride on Green Bay/Sheridan road all winter. Rather than post miles, I can best describe it by saying that since January 1, I've only had three encounters with another cyclist and one with a coyote. Pretty desolate out there.
I'm around 550 miles for the year. It's roughly an 18 mi round trip to work and back, 5 days a week, accounting for being off the bike for a few days here and there (took off two weeks from the total).
Going to http://www.bikejournal.com/profile.asp and searching for Chicago, IL USA, I found 369 riders. Maybe someone could create Team ChainLink and log your miles there?
Free use for basic tracking (3 mandatory fields and 3 optional fields).
League of Illinois Bicyclists has a very simple logging page: http://www.leepirtle.com/lib/milelog/index.php
Yay! Winter is over. From Dec 21-Mar 20, I managed to get outside and bike about 70 days. Given what transpired, I now feel invincible. Bring it on spring!
