    You might be a little early for those on a school schedule. With a week off at Thanksgiving and two weeks at Christmas, some of "those" people may get in considerably more vert/miles before 1-1-19. :sneaky:

    I'm shooting for 300,000'+. Last year was around 270,000' but had a ton of chairlift gain.:oops:. All legit this year. :geek:

    Wait - chairlift doesn't count? :(

    Actually, for the first time since 2008, I did not do any lift-served riding this year. :bang: :thumbsdown: :( :(

    I have two months to go get some! Was hoping for 2,000/200,000, but don't think I'm going to get it due to injury.

    I had my first week without riding since mid-March, but am now back in the saddle!

    490,016 ft and 3883 miles so far so I'm about a month ahead of schedule to meet personal goals. Test rode a Santa Cruz Blur today. That thing was a climbing machine but the engine sputtered out.

    I hit 4000 miles this week. Climbing wise, I'm about 8000' behind last year at this point, but I still think I should be able to reach 650,000'.

    Statistically, I'm behind last year, and knowing my schedule it will be hard to catch up.

    I'm going to have to elevate my game considerably in the first six months of 2019 to be able to finish BCBR.

    I'm primarily a weekend warrior so I don't really set any goals. Right now I'm at 3,563 miles and 437.5k feet. I believe it's my first year over 3k miles. Depending on how much riding I do during Thanksgiving week I may pass 4k miles and 500k feet.

    Just checked...I'm coming right up on exactly one boatload of new, fun, classic singletracks, with some very fine company and solo, including a sidecar of epic bikepacking and dollop of US design/manufacturing stoke.

    I got a ton of miles walking with my kids this year but fell short of my mountain biking mileage goals. A successful year as a dad for my standards though and I logged a lot of driveway BMX time. Best takeaway from the year, my son loves bikes and his younger sister is already catching the bug as well.

    Miles of smiles!

    I had lofty goals, and was way ahead of schedule at the end of June. Then the wheels came off the family bus, life intruded, priorities shifted, and the riding tanked from July through September... And I really didn't mind. I should still hit 500,000 feet this week, with about 3500 miles so far. I'd like to hit 550,000 by the end of the year, just so it's not less than last year. We'll see...

    Honestly though... Although I like to see the numbers as a personal fitness measure, I'll remember some of the group rides a lot longer than I'll remember the numbers. Big Bear with the gang? Rwanda? Nighttime motorway runs with the occasional guest star- even though there were a couple bloody close calls? True Grit? Bloody Bell with @mike ? Trabuco in the freezing rain with @mtnbikej? Hellacious Ride? Wrightwood- the socials and the death march? Pioneertown? All awesome... And to think I rode alone when I started.

    As long as I can keep my average monthly riding regiment for the remainder of 2018, I will break 1500 miles on dirt, a personal best.

    Less miles this year and fine with that. I have changed my focus to having fun. Telling a friend the other day, when I stop smiling on a ride it's time to head back to the truck. Woo-hoo factor is in effect.

    After 30 miles in the smile starts to fade, for example.

    I'll see your 8,000 and raise you another 12,000. I'll get it, but it will be close!

    5647 miles / 311,962 feet so far. I am nearly 5,000 miles behind goal. Life smacked me in the face again and again this year. Maybe next year I'll finally reach 10,000.
