How many miles did you ride this week?

[aquamoose32]

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.

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.

I cannot ride as much as I want, usually Sat 22 miles and I am trying for Thurs after work 15 miles. I love to get on my bike and feel the freedom and no stress.
I was so excited to get out on the road all winter but I pulled a thigh muscle over Easter in a really stupid fall and hurt my hip. I need to go for some PT. Biking makes my back and hip feel great but not since my graceful fall, but I will get there.

Last week I did 161 miles. During the school year 150-200 a week, during the summer 200-250+ a week when I am not teaching.

66.9... anything over 50 miiles to me is a LOT.


"My computer ate some of my miles." Is that sorta like "my dog ate my homework"?

LOL!
My computer is really prone to interference, so sometimes it'll just give me wildly inaccurate numbers (like 76mph when I'm stopped at a light, or 0-4 when I'm probably doing closer to 14-15). The inaccurate numbers (especially the low ones) mean that it's not calculating distance correctly.

378, but that was just one ride this weekend. The rest was all indoor miles.

You rode 378 miles in ONE WEEKEND??? Man, I look like a beginner! Haha I want your training schedule and to be able to get up to that. I usually do about 30-50 miles every other day. I'm tired at the end of the week! 30 miles is fine for me, 50 I am tired. How do I get up to 378?

Do people include commuting miles, a.k.a junk miles in their training calculations?
