How do you total your annual K's? Every time you go for a ride on the road or track (not spin) you count the kms. You could write them in a little book or make a spreadsheet. Then add them up like this: Ride 1 km + Ride 2 km ... + Ride n = Total :-) Personally I use a Garmin and Strava just tells me.
