    How many miles did you ride this week?

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    I ride like 100-250 miles a week. This includes commute riding and also longer rides into my local hills and mountains. Is this a lot? How many miles to you ride a week?

    Seems like a lot to me...but then again, I don't do any commute riding. I generally ride Sat, Sun, & Mon...and occasionally I might ride on 1 other day. My weekly mileage is usually between 150-200 miles...give or take. Also, once there is snow/ice on the ground...the bike is parked for about 3 months out of the year.

    It sounds like a lot to me too-
    My goal is about 80-100 miles a week, and that is definitely possible in Arizona year round. As long as my schedule isn't too hectic, I can do that. Most weeks I get in one 20 mile commute on Fridays, plus weekends and an afternoon or two.

    My husband commutes 5 days, 20 miles round trip and then adds on extra miles to get 150 or more. But his work starts later and dress is more casual -plus he's a guy and doesn't have to fix his hair etc.

    looks like I rode about 70 miles this week; 4 bike commutes, a trip to the opera, a trip to a bike store and a trip to the Farmer's market!

    I rode a paltry 16 miles this week...but my best so far! 4 miles roundtrip commute to work x 2, and 8 miles for the Bike To Work Day festivities yesterday.

    117.5, but will be doing ~47 tomorrow, too. My 10 miles of running seems pretty measly, by comparison. Come Summer I will probably be logging closer to 150-200 on the bike and 10-15 miles on-foot.

    zero so far.

    but hopefully the sun will be out next week. and we step down on the long run for my marathon training team, so I won't spend all day saturday eating junk food wishing i was taking a nap.

    I did 20-something this week. My computer ate some of my miles.

    Hopefully I'll be able to ride more frequently after this week--my access to my car is spotty for the week, and there aren't any good cycling routes from my house.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    I was a little over 100, all commuting miles. I should be able to get on one of my road bikes this week since it looks like the constant rain/mist/fog we've had for what seems like forever has finally ended. So glad I got a bike for these conditions. I really needed it this week!

    I would say do to the rain for most of the week I got in maybe 30 miles. And ten of that was in the rain.

    I'm not sure what I did this week, but today I think I did around 25 kms.

    Maybe this week, I did no more than 85 kms. Pretty small compared to what I've done in the past.
