This year I managed to log over 650 miles and around 60 hours on the bike. As the days grow shorter and the temp drops outside the chances to ride are few and far between. I hope to start 2009 with the Myrtle Beach Marathon Ride. Tabitha has agreed to ride this one with me if I will run the 5k with her on Friday. We have a few months to get a bike for her and get ready. It looks like rides will be limited to the weekends until then. We will continue to run and I may try to grab an indoor trainer later this year. I want to ride at least 1500 miles next year and run 300 miles. That seems like a reasonable goal (My boss would be proud).

Congrats on the cycling this year! Winter is also limiting my outdoor riding chances. However, instead of purhasing a trainer as you mentioned in your post I went with rollers. The added difficulty help keep my training interesting and they allegedly help to make you a more stable rider. Definetly consider them as an indoor training option.
1500 miles is definetly a reachable goal if you keep up the hard work and stay dedicated.
Good luck!
