Not miles (that record was 29,105 miles in 2017) but in days ridden in a year. Today's ride was the 339th day I've ridden this year...and there are still 13 days to go in the year! (prev record was 338 also in 2017)

I should hit 21,000 miles this year (only need 188 miles)

Incredible, considering I was wondering just how much I was going to get to ride this year with the medical issue I had last year. I wondered if I'd make my goal of riding until I was 70 in mid May.

I set no goals for this year, only to ride when I felt up to it, hoping to make the East Coast CB Rally in Pennsylvania (I did) and the family Men's Fall Trip to North Carolina (made that too)

Ended up being a great year despite Covid

Not feeling too bad right now, hope that carries on into 2021.

Well done, Mr Ferret. Another great effort.

Congrats Ferret.

When those days come, I can hope to ride as often as you.

Do you have a counting system? Like, do you mark it on the calendar, or got an excel spreadsheet? I can't imagine counting days for anything

Sometimes days is all we have left.

Lol yes, each year for the last 7 years (since I retired) I have kept track of daily mileage, on which bike I rode, on a calendar, and last year started adding weather conditions to it. Days I dont/cant ride get a big green x ( why not red? I just had a green marker sitting around but it's about done so I will switch to red some day) plus I run a separate spread sheet on mileage by bike. At end of month just tabulate the figures for a yearly total.

It's no big deal really, takes 5 mins a day. Something for a retired guy to do.

From 2008 to 2014 I only kept track of miles, and not days ridden.

From 1965- 2008 I kept no records... but sure wish I had

Interesting. Thinking about it, it would be a nice thing to look back at in 40 years. I'll try from Jan 1st, and we will see by the end of next year how diligent I was

Sometimes days is all we have left. That is a dark thought. In reality though, today may be the only day we have left

@todd. I have a logbook and then I created a spreadsheet to back it up. I keep notes on maintenance in the logbook too. All inspired by the creator of this thread.

@Ferret. Cannot express adequately how happy I am to read this thread. It is presumptuous of me to speak for those here who have been reading your ride posts this year, but I’m quite certain that we are all overjoyed that you were able to rack up this many miles and milestones by the end of a year that started with such doubt for you. Congratulations to you, my friend. It’s been a pleasure to have been with you on this year-long adventure. Can’t wait to do it again in 2021.

That's a very impressive record. Good for you

todd...here are what mine look like
