So 43ft per mile for me. Need another 60 miles for 4000 this year vs c3200 last. Havent been out for over a week and I already feel fat and lame! Hoping to get a couple of hours tomorrow. Also need about 60 miles to notch up 2000 on my Chinarello I built last year.

15.8ft per mile for me 
That does include 660 miles of turbo though.
40 miles left to hit 10,000 for the year. There's a chance I'll actually do that today if I push it. Hmm.

I know the feeling
I didn't get out last weekend. The weekend before doesn't count as it was too icy and we turned back, and the weekend before that we only managed to fit 20 miles in. Feeling pretty cack for it.I've managed two sessions on the torture bikes in the gym this week which has made me feel a bit better. I hope to get out on Boxing day and then Sunday.
10,000 for the year is pretty impressive.
Last day on the bike in 2014 for me.

only a week??? I've been hit for 6 with the flu for the past couple of weeks as it just spread around our small office (think i got hit twice with it) and not managed to shake it at all. Think the last time i was on the turbo was the 3rd of Dec. And the way I'm still feeling i won't be on it till after the new year.

Cheers. Also doesn't include most of Jan/Feb but I probably did at most ~500 around then.
Next year: More hills, less miles, >4w/kg and taking up running. Oh, and hopefully stopping my cut so I can start gaining muscle mass.
I think its the same as every other city really, just 4x the amount of cars

Turbo trainer = torture

Using mine for the first time this evening for some Tabata

Bless you my child
On a serious note - If you're using indoors use a decent fan

Its the sheer boredom more than anything. It's almost enjoyable if you pair up and get two trainers side by side with a mate.
Whose doing the best after Xmas deals then!? Since they all seem to be advertised already!
I'll be looking for some discounted rapha and maybe some Castelli bibs, or I'll try the rapha bibs, but I like the top end Castellis and they should be cheaper than rapha too.
Don't really need any bike parts, just consumables, drink tabs, couple of tyres maybe that kind of thing. Maybe bar tape and new cables.

Lol. I managed to get ahead of you for about two days I think
I'm 23 miles off 10,000 now. Hoping to do a turbo session to hit it tonight. Would have loved to make them all outdoor miles as you've managed to but sadly wasn't really possible with my schedule.
