The "I will ride _____km in 2024" thread - commit and conquer here!!

[Labcanary]

We need a multiplier system where MTB=1, then virtual, road, commuting and gravel slotting under with a multiplier of 0.9-0.4

Then the old Fatbike on soft sand which ranks above MTB on the hardness charts, zero elevation over a 50km beach, takes 6hrs.

What about riding with a toddler as ballast?
I've done very little MTB riding this year but heaps of riding as transportation with the kids. I've passed my km goal, so now I'd like to see how much further I can get in the next month. It's piddly numbers compared to many here, but it's more than I've been able to do for a few years.

Well I’ve heard on the grapevine the mods are actually going to change the name of the forum to Gravelburn soon so of course! I think though there’s some division wether it should be GravelBurn or Zwifburn. We’ll soon see.

Best of both worlds:
Zwifvelburn

Just you wait for the e-... sub forum! ;-)

Another victim of crappy weather and associated motivation here. (Non zwifting household)
Only managed 177hrs of 250hrs goal. And 61000m elevation of 100000 goal.
But have got a couple of bigger rides in recently so feeling reasonably fit, ready for a good run at it next year.

meh, we think we'll hit the pigs 7k goal for the year (had to revise goals mid year due to rain, injury and family).... and will be completing the year in Kyoto on a mamachari....... so..... yay?

This year:

Last year:

So despite the shit weather and lack of motivation the last couple of months, will hit last years distance by the end of the week with a month to go.

Just managed to tick over my yearly distance goal. Missed my elevation goal by a big margin. I know it's mostly phoney, but it fitted in with my life, and kept me motivated.

I think for next year, I will shoot for 300 hours. Let everything else land where it may. For reference, I was under 280 hours this year.

Strava is based in American yeah? They won't tick over to 2023 for a while yet. Still heaps of time to tick the 300 hours of this year! Hook the magimix up for one last hurrah!

Good job Rocky !

Been on the decline every year since 2016. First time it's increased in 6 yrs.

Didnt hit the 100,000vm but I would also write some of that elevation off as shuttle road elevation, call it around 90,000vm.

Still over 2000km up on last year and zero commuting or road. There is a few Zwift k's in there but over 2/3's MTB/gravel.

Working for the last few days and got a short MTB ride in at night. Wont be doing one tonight so the below numbers are final.

Hoping for 5000km next year, it might be a struggle given work, study and the plague of children I now own.

Managed my 5000km for the year with some wiggle room to spare.

Realistically the 5000km target will be the same next year given the plauge of children hasn't become any less demanding.

 

[Labcanary]

I haven't played this game before. I'm going to aim for 1000km in 2022. I think this is an achievable distance for me as I'll most likely have the youngest Canary along for most rides.
I'll have to log it old school with pen and paper as my GPS is an ancient V1 Bryton rider 50.

My small fry distance goal was reached and surpassed to finish with a total of 1388km.
Most of those KMs were riding with kids, so it was often a slow meandering pace. A few times I was able to ride solo or without kids which was nice to be able to push myself a little more.

2023 goal: 2000km.

Luckily for me, it still timestamps it for your location. An American I zwift with told me to jump in on their meetup at 10am NYE (which is 4am NYD for me). He's doing 10,000 vm and about 400km.

So not the best year with a few months off the bike but still stayed active by walking, September is when I started cycling to work. About two weeks until I see the specialist who will hopefully he will tell me to get on my bike.

I'm not sure what I've gotten myself into, but I can feel the saddle sores already. Haven't ridden anything longer than 25ks for last the 3 years.

You only need to up that 25km to 40km... every day in January, starting tomorrow

That was one 25km ride a month, I usually do 3 x 10kms tech trails a week. Already put the slicks on the full rigid , I'm definitely going to call defeat at the first instance of saddle sores.

I had a man-cold a few weeks back that put a spanner in the works for 6000, but came back and managed to get within pissing distance of it still. Then a couple of days ago, man-cold again

I had 23km to go, so hopped on the trainer. Throat was definitely not loving it, but I got the 6
