A lousy 80-ish miles. Thinking about going our for a quick road ride but have just eaten a massive slab of chocolate and hazelnut cake so will let that settle for a bit first!

Not a clue on the distance, but totting up time I make it about 41 hours out on the bike.
Which given my domestic situation is more than I expected

2114. Quick edit: That's Km's - sorry (and it wouldn't be anything like that by free choice).
The absolute truth as well. All recorded from my mountain bike, road bike and commuter bike computers. 250 km's commuting a week since going back to work in January. I have no choice but to ride to and from work everyday. No access to the family car at weekends apart from once being allowed to drive over to Delamere to pick the commute bike up. Each Man City home match means I ride to and from the ground. I have to do 3 trips to Sainsbury's and back every week. Domestic strife.....got to love it.
That total does include a 218 mile tour in New Zealand in mid January as well though.
Ive lost 18lbs in weight this year already. I'm upping my calorie intake considerably to compensate from yesterday. I feel quite light headed, lethargic and none of my trousers fit anymore.
Far from hating bike riding because of the ridiculous amount of cycling each week though, I've found it's become completely habitual.
I might buy a car next month before I collapse.Posted 2 years ago # -
totted it up last week actually and its just shy of 2500k
not bad for winter. Most of it commuting though with some longer stuff off road at weekends and of course puffer was 200 of them
last year i did rediulas ammounts of miles in jan/feb/march as i was on tour but then did very little when i got back due to injury

a quick question for any of you blokes who like train properly.
does lots of steady road miles at this time of year pay dividends on the mountain later in the year??Posted 2 years ago # -
Not on it's own Ton, You'd need to mix in two good hard sessions of anaerobic work as well in any 8 day block. Got to get those type I and II fast twitchers twitching.

done 367 but had man flu and not been able to ride this last 10 days, i now have 150mi to do before the end of Feb to reach my target...
Posted 2 years ago # -
215 miles, not as much as I'd hoped, but 55 miles running which I'm chuffed with.
Posted 2 years ago # -
No idea. Nor do I care, just as long as I get a day on the bike.
Posted 2 years ago # -
313.6 miles 95% off road and on my ss trek 69er, way more than last year!
Posted 2 years ago # -
I reckon about 600 - mostly road so far, probably only about 100 getting dirty.
Posted 2 years ago # -
650.9miles to date since jan 1st
Should be well over 800 by next weekend
Posted 2 years ago # -
Ton- starting to get a bit late for base miles (although never stop them) but you should start doing a few harder sprint sessions for cross country to "convert" your muscles and make them faster...
EDIT: Barca2 beet me to it!

About 480 ish, 140miles on the road the rest off road. On top of this a load of time riding the DH and jump bikes.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Not enough, hundred if that
Posted 2 years ago # -
Cullen-bay. I'd be interested in knowing some more about your muscle conversion theory.
Posted 2 years ago # -
140miles mostly SS and off road, but I always take it easy in Jan'/ early Feb'. I was supposed to step it up this week, but i've had an off which has put me off my bike for a bit. I can never do too much or go too hard when its freezing anyway, as it plays havoc with my chest. I usually step it up at the gym doing squats and core work at this time of year which I think pays dividends when the hardwork comes later in the season.

I've done errrr .....
dunno, never measure it1466 miles since 1st Jan, including turbo trainer but that only accounts for 151, virtually all rest done off road and singlespeed.
Re-checked the Report Parameters.... its 459.57...
I know... Idiot alert!!! Groveling apology....For future reference JB - that amount of mileage [the 1st one] in such a short time over Winter is referred to as a 'Goan' or a 'Glupton'
Posted 2 years ago # -
786 miles but nearly all on road! Only been off-road twice this year which is poor. Hopefully this week that will change a bit!
Posted 2 years ago # -
A terribly poor 312 miles so far but most of that is offroad. The main reason is the death of all my bikes and the fact I've worked away from home 3 days in every week since the start of the year. Picking things up now though and I'm starting to get my road bike built up again.
I've swum 4 miles though.

550 mile on the mtb but sadly on the roads commuting with spike tires on.
[130mile running mixed terrain]Posted 2 years ago # -
Zero. But in my defence I've known since December 24th that I was going to have brain surgery mid January, and that requires a 6 week recovery period after it. I'm 4 weeks into that, so hopefully I'll be able to start to get out in a couple of weeks, subject to how crappy I feel on chemo or radio therapy.

About 50 smiles so far. Only had an hour and a half spare then more work.
Posted 2 years ago # -
533km, but only 69km, and a few unlogged trips round the park with the kids, on the mtb- rest has been on the road bike on the turbo
Posted 2 years ago # -
About 300 miles all in, commuting at least three out of five days. Mostly on road, almost all singlesped
Posted 2 years ago # -
totally unsure just now. Quick totalling up
27 a day commute - 5 x 6 x 27 = 810
2 x Edinburgh and back for work = 65 x 2 =130
Done 6 roadie rides of 45 - 60 + 1 today = 350
Average 2 midweek night rides by myself of about 25+ miles = 6x2x25= 300
average 1 midweek night ride with duggie style 25 - 30 miles ( prob more cos its a 4 hour shift) = 180 miles
weekend rides of average 1 per week 25 miles = 150 miles.prob about 1900 miles
Thats an estimate though and dont have any proper way of measuring it. I do ride practically 7 days a week though. Alot of this blame is down to my new hardtail and the fact i hate sitting in at night and also the weather has been pretty decent for a while ( apart from snow then there's been no windy or real rainy days to speak off)

Good luck with it all missingfrontallobe. Chemo doesn't always mean you'll be sicker than a sick thing for the duration.

Mike, you are letting me down! As my Kielder hero I simply match your training routines and I finish!
However thanks to playing with Ascent at the moment I can say with authority... 56 miles. Hmmmm, need that commuting to start I think!Posted 2 years ago # -
about 80 miles with 9000ft of climbing off road.
Posted 2 years ago # -
ok - so far I've done 433Km (269miles) in total of which 212km (is on the turbo)- I don't commute - I do work full time and have to fit my riding in round the family - so I dont think I've done so bad
yeti 109
SS - 22.65
Road bike - 311 - (turbo 212 & Road 99)Posted 2 years ago # -
