Zero. Had to wait for my tins to get painted then it was either to cold (snowing)or roads to dirty (they are still dooing gravel pick up) then my internal bleeding came back (riding should help that no?) should be good to go next week health permitting. Been the longest winter EVER, I just wanna ride!

You all those kms in just 2015 in Jasper? Did you replace the front wheel with a ski?

I find it funny when I get the response I used as a title when I tell people who are amazed when I' riding with snow still on the farmers' fields. I mean heated gear or not; it's still flippin' cold! You didn't need to qualify your 2500 miles! Glad to hear there are so many other riders who prescribe to the credo, "Some people shine 'em, and some people ride 'em." Be safe!

About 350. Just started riding to work the last couple of days (leave at 5am), and the first 20 miles of roads that I ride are still pretty chitty with frost heaves, large cracks and potholes.

A little over 4000 miles since Feb 28th. Nearly 3K of them were a trip to Key West and Bike Week.

Jasper, Alabama. And almost all of those miles are commuting, from the first of this year. My first trip of the year starts next weekend!

Just over 2,000 miles just last week. Trailered the bikes to Vegas, road to Prescott, Winslow, Tucson, Tombstone, Lake Havasu, Laughlin, back to Vegas.

Is that cheating?

About 3,600 so far. About 2,200 of that was the trip to Daytona Bike Week and back. I ride 12 months out of the year, but admittedly the longer miles are between March and November.
