It's that time of the year, Xmas & New Year out of the way. Planning the hols and making routes and getting on bike is a chore. Been naff weather lately and Spring is still a long way off. I've a Turbo-Roller, but that can be boring after a while. Still the best I do is the cycling to work and back, totalling average 50 miles a week. But really need to get out and do the 50 miles in day.

Are we Teessider's starting look like this chappie, I for one not likely.

Reckon the average between 4000 & 5000 miles a year. With 2 major bike rides and back to Sunday rides doing hopefully 60-70 miles, should bump it to 6000+ miles. I was going to plan a walk in Spring, but may shelve it for cycling and have a good cycling year to boot. So could be 3 tours, it that being greedy.

4000 to 5000 a year!!! how many hours is that you reckon?/
