How many miles per day do you do?

[Veronica]

Yep, I second checking us out at BJ.

Typical routine? I don't have one. I had 17 rides in August, a mixture of mountain biking and road. Road rides were as short as 4.1 miles (my commute) and ranged up to 198 miles.

Mountain bike rides were 5.3 - 24.5 miles long. All my rides involve a good amount of climbing.

I've been lazy this weekend and haven't ridden at all.

I only ride on the trails. They are all sinletrack, so my totals are very different from some of the girls that are mixing in road riding as well. Also I ride with a very, very fast group of guys, so I have to have recovery time because it is really hard.

Sounds like I am making excuse....HA...Actually I am very proud of the length and quality of the rides we have been doing.

Anyway twice a week:

one mid-week ride, usually around 16 miles, usually about 1.5 hours

one weekend ride, usually 20-30 miles anywhere up to 3 hours.

Those times are actual ride time on the bike computer

I aslo trail run and lift weights.....

I bike commute so I ride every day - 12 miles round trip. This year I haven't been as motivated to ride on the weekends like I was last, but a weekend ride could be anywhere from 15 - 100 miles depending on my mood and who I'm with.

It turned cold here over the past weekend (the highs yesterday barely reached the 70s) so getting out on my bike was really not something I was looking forward too!

Summer and Winter riding are two different things. In winter I usually do a road and a MTB ride on the weekend. The road ride is usually 35 - 40 miles the MTB ride around 10 - 15.

During the summer I can also ride during the week. MTB rides are usually 8 - 10 and road, depending on when I get on the bike, 15 - 30. Sometimes, especiialy early summer I can do an 40 miler.

In the winter when I'm limited to weekend rides, I do a spin class 2 - 3 times a week.

I'm like bcipam in that I do slightly different things in summer and winter.

In summer:

Twice a week: Road bike commute, one 45 one 38 mile round
trip
One social mtb evening ride of 12-15 miles - hilly
One longer mtb ride, up to 35 miles, very hilly
Also try to fit in a couple of short runs, some climbing and core/weight work.

In winter: One 38 mile commute
Still 2 MTB rides, though midweek one becomes less social
paced
Will be picking up my running this winter and finding a yoga
class
Weights and climbing (indoors).

Reading that its no wonder I'm knackered, done sod all in August really no motivation, not helped by the fact that it seems to have rained for the whole of August and is continuing into September Still got a weeks MTB holiday in Spain next week

SadieKate - will pop over to Bike Journal, see if that helps me get my Mojo back!
