Stay the course, Ferret.
I managed to ride to work most of this week, bringing my total miles to 10,700+ (well short of 12,000) and the number of riding days to 132. Should be able to beat last years # of days (134) and going to shoot for 145 based on the extended weather forecast which has only a few snowy days included.
Fingers crossed.

Sea, looking back at my records which go back to 2008 when I worked full time, up until I retired in 2013, I averaged 10,718 miles per year, so I'd say you are doing pretty good.
After 2013, when I was able to ride full time lol, my average jumped up to a little over 25,000 miles a year ( which will go down a bit after this year)

cut out of work at about 3:15, rode home and changed, then finished with an even 100 miles on a very pretty, but slightly cloudy (then dark, LOL) day with temps around 40f. 133 riding days logged.

Tues Dec 17..Day 280... Well it snowed again this morning. It stopped snowing by 10:30 and by 3 pm the roads looked clear enough, so I went for a ride. Only did 40 miles but it beats staring out the window lol. 150 miles to go.

While I fully understand that riding beats looking out your window, I also know that you have a perfectly lovely view from said window.
You should be able to wrap up that 150 by the end of the week.
