Default Cable Miles

We were sitting down to dinner the other night with Julie and Martin Koester, (CK s mum and dad) and started to wonder how many miles do we do a year on the cable? I know i dont do as many as I should but Freddie and CK must do thousands. as there is not much happening on here at the moment and people have time on their hands (or they've buggered off to the Phillipines) it would be interesting to see what you estimate you have done in a year any ideas?

Cool

im gonna get picky now but,
1. no two cable rides are exactly the same lenght, due to tension,slack
2. depending on the route you take i.e under the cable or carving will also change the amount of distance travlelled on your wakeboard.

maybe you sohuld change your survey to the number of laps, as this is much easier to quantify

Not cable, but I downloaded the tracks from my GPS last night and I racked up 189miles from 25 july to 4 November with the boat - not all me riding though.

If I take an average speed for all those miles I was nowhere near breaking the speed limit either!
