    I have set myself a target this year of 5000 miles in a year, this includes turbo miles when necessary, as being a Dad, sometimes it is the only way of getting the miles in whilst having the baby monitor on in case the little one wakes up.

    At the moment I am generally riding a 60 on a Saturday, leaving the house at 5.30am (Back for 9.15 so as to minimise time lost with the family) and will try and get 3 rides in during the week, 1 steady, one tempo, and ideally one intervals - this month I am averaging around 120 miles a week.

    I have set myself a mileage target for each month, starting lowish at 300 for January, and rising to 475 for the current month, and July and August.
    My current yearly total is just over 2300.
    Felt F70 05 (Turbo)
    Marin Palisades Trail 91 and 06

    Cannondale Synapse Adventure 15 & 16 Di2
