just curious. I usually ride two 5 mile rides a day (on the weekends). I've put 40 miles on my odometer in 2 months. Its probably not as much as you guys/gals, but I was just curious how my riding compares to yours. oh yeah, my usual ride is 2 miles uphill, 2 miles down, and 1 mile on a flat road.

Most of my rides are between 30 and 70km (and a very occasional 110-140km), and depends really on how sporty I'm feeling, and the purpose of the ride (e.g. a commute, a dawn ride before traffic sets in, an afternoon of mountain biking, etc.) In terms of weekly totals, lately I've been riding 130-200km a week. When I first really got into cycling a year ago, I had nowhere near that level of endurance.. I felt disasterous after 20-25km. The thing I learnt that harder isn't really "better" unless you're a competitor

Week days I commute 4.5miles/7kms each way and now that the evenings are getting lighter I usually go for a 1 hour ride as well.Which could be 10 miles up the mountain or longer if I'm on the road ( I should say I intend to go for one hour rides somehow they never end after just one hour) Weekends could be anything, but they very rarely come under 20miles/32 kms.

I ride 5-6 days a week, sometimes 2X a day at a minimum of 12-18 miles trip total on my MTBike ( I only have a MTBike... for now). In seven weeks on my new SC Blur I put close to 1200 miles on her! I guess I haven't spent a lot of time checking the computer ODO setting, and I was kind of floored when I did. Am I posessed? I'd say so. Here in Santa Fe, NM, USA, endless singletrack is only a few miles from my yard, so I am out there all the time. My wife is getting suspicious! For any of you folks in the region, my buddy and I are planning to the South Boundary trail Up and Back, as the shuttle / ride to Taos is more of a "pleasure" ride... anyone interested? |
