What Bike(s) do you own?

[surgtech1956]

Just a Poll - What bike or bikes do you own? What do you ride the most? What are your 2010 riding goals? How many days a week do you ride and total weekly mileage?

I own a Trek 7100, Giant OCR 3W and a Giant Rincon. I ride the Trek 7100 the most. I plan to ride more and do longer rides. In 2009, I rode about 4 days a week and averaged 60 miles a week.

See my signature. I try to ride 15-20 miles a day, 5-6 days a week. My goal is to better my times on the Little Rock Metric and St. Louis Ride the Rivers Century.

My big goal is to fuel better. Lose weight and quit using bike riding as an excuse to eat sugar!

The only bike I have right now is my 2010 Orbea Dama Onix TLT. I have been averaging in the last couple weeks 70-90 miles a week, but I will crank that up to between 100-200 a week (if not more!) from now probably until the end of summer. I usually ride between 2-4 times a week depending on the weather and my work schedule. My goals this year are to do my first century, do the Seattle to Portland bike ride along with a few other organized rides I've never done before, and get up to 3,000+ feet of climbing in a ride (currently my max is 2200). Good thread topic!!

I don't see what's so wrong with this one!

i own a 2009 marin bear valley wfg that i ride on the road as much as i ride off road
i ride a few days a week usually around 20 miles on a ride

I ride a Trek pilot 5.7 and average 100-125 miles a week spring and fall and less than that more like 75 -100 in the summer. After completing a cross country from California and Florida last year, and haven fallen with injuries and 6 weeeks off each time twice already this year, my goal is to get back into shape to manage a week in the hill country in April , a centuy in the little red riding hood ride with my 4 sisters in June and then another cross country along the mississippi from south to north after that in early 2011.

Basically if I can get back to doing a 60 mile ride in under 4 hours at least once a week along with several shorter rides during the week and continue 2x a week with my trainer I will be supremely content.

2009 Wilier Izoard with a 2010 Ultegra group and Chris King wheels

2009 Yeti ASR with an 07 XTR group

2008 Giant OCR3w

Trek 4500WSD (now gone to bike heaven)

Spot Brand custom cyclocross with 2009 Ultegra group and Mavic wheels (soon to come)

I ride the Wilier the most, 2-3 times a week durning the season. I use the Giant as a commuter now when I have to leave the bike outside. The Trek used to pull my trailer. And the Yeti gets used as often as I can get into the mountains, which is less than I'd like. Hoping the cyclocross will give me some more opportunities on the local trails, some wintery road riding, and maybe a few races.

Yes I have a problem N+1 is alive and well...

Great Thread!

I own:

1996 Voodoo Wanga Mtn bike
2000 Aegis Swift carbon road bike
2003 Titus Racer X mtn bike
2006 Serotta Ottrott custom carbon/ti road bike with Campy Record

And how could I forget? my 1957 Huffy Cruiseliner.

I ride the Ottrott the most, the Titus next. I use the Aegis as a trainer bike, my excuse for not riding it outdoors is that it doesn't fit well and I rarely ride the Voodoo.

I've had other bikes that have come and gone mainly because they didn't fit.

No goals yet, I'm still working on my skiing goals, have a month left. I ride 2,000 miles per year. I'd like to visit Indiana in Sept. for the fall TRIRI and visit my family and friends in Cincinnati. Depending on my fitness and training I'd also like to climb Trail Ridge road here in Colorado.

Trek 7.3,

And the most wonderful bike of all, Miss Aurora

I would like to do the Virginia Creeper Trail this summer

litespeed verona
park pre image c6
surly pacer
TST titanium mountain bike.

I probably ride the litespeed the most - probably 80-100 miles a week between the bikes.

The park pre's a full carbon road bike - it lives at the bf's house for when I want to ride there, the litespeed stays at my house for riding... The surly's my commuting to work or downtown to the library or whatever bike, ride on non-road that doesn't need a mountain bike. Mountain bike is for... mountain biking. The surly, the tst, and the park pre we built up on frames I bought, the litespeed was an ebay purchase that pretty much fit perfect as is


goals for this year - ride as much as possible

[hammertime]

I own a Giant OCR-C3 (2006) road bike... and an 'old old OLD' Schwinn mountain bike.

I ride the Giant most of the time... very very seldom ride the mountain bike... except a few times a year maybe. My 2010 goals is to just enjoy biking as I have since I started riding in 2006. I'm doing RAGBRAI with the Livestrong team this year, so that is exciting. My weekly mileage is quite variable... since I only ride on the weekends. I usually like to get in at least 50-75 miles each weekend day... and get in a few centuries here and there.

The big thing for 2010 for me is that and I'm 'hoping' to buy a Wilier Cento Uno soon ... yep yep yep... if all goes and planned... crossing finger that this sweetness will soon be mine.

1998 Diamondback Response Mountain Bike (one night per week with the guys!)
2004 Diamondback Master (retired to the trainer for winter indoor spinning)
2008 Specialized Tri-cross Sport (touring)
2009 Felt FW3 Road ( my main, and favorite, bike)

Goals are few this year as my husband is riding the Southern Tier right now and one of us has to be in town all the time for his 90 yr. old dad. We have cooked for him for three years and now he needs alot of help. I have had my three long rides the past three years, and DH has just retired and is on his dream trip. Our dream is to ride the Northern Tier together when we are able to be gone together. I can't wait!! I ride as many days a week as it is not raining (not many these days!) and maybe do 75-100 miles per week, more in summer. I have two metrics planned so far, both in April, and lots of other rides. We might flip to see who goes to Bike VA as only one of us can go to it! Don't you think I deserve it after he gets back from the ST?!!!

Zen, I live 30 minutes from the Creeper Trail and we also have some really great road riding here in the area. Please let me know when you are going to be here. You are welcome to stay here, bring friends, or whatever. The road riding is awesome, though LOTS of hills. I have no rides without 1500-3000 feet of climbing in a day!!! Gorgeous, though! I would love to ride the Creeper again. It is a wonderful place to ride, but do it on a weekday!!! ...very crowded in summer on the weekends.

I have a 2003 Giant Sedona. That's it... just one bike, the only new bike I've ever owned.

I ride that one the most.

Upcoming rides and goals:

• metric century - Terry Wild Goose Chase in October
• however many hours I manage (last year it was 66) - 24 Hours of Booty in August
• maybe the Great Alleghany Passage
• goal is to get a little faster, a little stronger, a little better

I'll be happy if I can manage 40-50 miles/week before longer days are here, and 70-100 miles/week in the summer.

Ah, heck, who am I kidding?! I'll just be happy riding whenever and however far I can ride!

I have a 1990 Univega Alpina mtn. bike, a 2009 Specialized Dolce Elite compact double, and a 2009 Jamis Coda Sport hybrid.

Still have my last childhood bike, too: a Sears single speed with lots of chrome,a front shock (before they were fashionable) and coaster brake. If my memory serves me, that bugger weighs in at 65 lb.

I haven't ridden the Univega for a while, but I'd like to tune it up this year and use it a little bit. Just bought the Jamis in October and only got in a couple rides before winter set in, and I alternate using that fairly equally with the Dolce.

My rides average 10-20 miles several times a week; I ride for fitness and recreation. This season I'd like to ride more often and increase my distance to 30 miles or more.

'07 Cannondale Synapse Feminine 3
'03 Trek Navigator 200
In the basement and hopefully will see some miles this year, but really geared too tall for my aging legs until I do some serious rebuilding, '87 custom Button with Record/Chorus and American Classic...


Cycling is on the back-burner as I train for what I hope to be my first marathon in May....
