That's why I moved to the South (yes, a canuck ex-pat.)! I can ride all year and only have to deal with the odd redneck in a pickup throwing beer cans at my back.

Lucky you. My riding season is almost over? You love to move to Europe. Where cycling would be better...

Another Aussie here, currently living in the USA (Denver, CO).

I ride a road bike on weekdays (normally about 15 miles per day) with a 25-50 mile ride on Saturdays. Sunday I hit the singletrack on the MTB, these days usually around Evergreen and Golden. During the winter, the weekend rides often get replaced by skiing , and on snowy days, the weekday rides move indoor to a trainer .

When I'm not riding or thinking about riding, I'm a software implementation consultant.

From Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia

Try and ride 200 km's during the week with a longer ride over the weekend.

Lucky that apart from downpours during the wet season it is virtually 365 day cycling weather

I ride two or three times a week and then do 110 to 150 miles on weekends. A good friend manges to hammer me ever few weeks and tells me stay on his wheel ... only problem is he is often doing 31 miles an hour for periods too long for me. But .. I try.

Cool, how is the riding up there?

I live in Richmond Hill, and the riding sucks unless you head North. I ride basically 100-140km per day. On my rest day, I ride a slow 80-90km with a friend new to cycling. Awesome to just relax and chat with someone as I ride.....

Hello all,
I'm a new member from Centennial, Colorado (Denver area). Most of my riding is commuting to work at a newspaper where I'm a page designer. The commuting puts in 100 mi/week, but I do some longer rides and hill climbs on weekends, up to 60-70 mi. I did do a lot of training this spring, about 2000 miles worth, to prepare for a week long tour through the Rockies. My next goal to ride up Mount Evans, the highest paved road in North America at 14,000 feet plus. Never been a racer, though. Built more like Fred Flintsone than Lance Armstrong.

I am in Oregon (a transplant from Colorado, Colorado Springs). I am a parole officer so I get plenty of seat and car time in. I typically spend my day thinking of all the places I should take my new bike and punish it. I just love to ride fast and hard, but typically just ride hard (I am not the smallest rider out there). It is one of the few things that keeps me sane! Keep the rubber side down.
