[Closed] 500 Mile a month.

535 miles, for the month, which isn't bad as i didn't ride until the 7th

I did another 2500 ft of climbing on the way from work this morning, so my total for the month is now 420.28 miles and 50,957 ft of climbing. I think I'll take the car to work tonight I could do with a rest. 😳

Got to 744 miles with 54000 ft of climbing. That's 1447 for the year and the bikes looking like it needs a bit of tlc.

While playing around in the endomondo app I found out u can plot your own ride for the day all the times my GPS failed and didn't track on my commutes or battery died half way I lost my miles I'm owed about 80odd lol
At least I no for next time
No weeks off booked for a while now so hoping for a 500 month
Is anyone clocking turbo miles as well as actual outings?

Haven't used the turbo this year so just real miles.

858 for me, with 35,000ft of climbing and 63 hours.

Although more running for me this month than before at around 80 so that's why i'm down on cycling.

With the weather getting nicer I expect it will be easier to get out 8)

First MTB ride of the year yesterday, 60 miles took me to 513 miles this month

first month in 🙂 only 424 miles though 🙁

515 for me this month but I haven't ridden since the 18th of March.

Is it acceptable to join in part way through the year?

no one's told me to do one.... yet

edit - quote thingy seems to have got upset though 😕

 

Trawls thread for context and/or replies

All back up and running fine here. Proper miles covered and back to full strength and beyond 8)

Knocking out IRO 360 a week and not all junk miles either.. Done a good number of long off road routes, point to point then caught the train back, which has lead me down some excellent places I've never been to. I really must stop and look around more. Damn if I'm not still using these "tours" as training sessions.. I'm a fool to myself sometimes.
Can we add in Races? If we can then I'll add another 76 to that, if not then they were the "junk" miles 😆

I'm off work for a month now, extended leave means I'm planning in the Rapha "Three Days in Yorkshire" again (I've done this once before and loved it) Depends on how hard I hack it but no doubt I'll take minimal pictures 🙄
The Roadies ready, I'm just sorting out packing for minimal travelling 😕 and posting off clean Bibs to the Hotels I'm stopping over in.

Then we have DrP's IoW Tour on the 26th so looks like this month will be high on the miles and higher on the smiles.
😀

only managed about 350 this month. lost my love for it.
saving grace is that a big lump of this has been on my new mtb.

603 for me. I had 8 days away without the bike so lost somewhere between 150-200 I suppose. First couple of weeks will be in exmoor so there will certainly be some hill climbing. If the weather plays nice I'm planning a 150 miler on Thursday which will be a good start to April.

Bikebouy - You on Strava. Be genuinely interested to see your rides.

Good month for me, feeling fitter than ever and that's the main thing.

Pretty crap start to the year for me, work and life generally getting in the way! 476 MTD, but got the headwind on the way home, not sure if I can face another 24 miles!

posting off clean Bibs to the Hotels I'm stopping over in.

That's a damn good idea. Although I wouldn't want to be the postman delivering your worn ones back home.

Had some lovely evening rides this month, but still 25 mile off target unless I get my arse in gear this evening.

607 for me. Reasonably happy as I didn't ride for 10 days due to a cold.

701.63 miles for me. Enjoyed every second of it, first proper month too after a return from mainly running.

I hope the enthusiasm levels last.

500 miles behind where i was this time last year....pretty shit really.
no love for it this year.
going touring in a fortnight for 2 weeks, that will up it a bit i suppose.

Month started well, but got married last weekend and not touched a bike since the 19th, so only 350 or so for me.

A crap month. A serious prostate perforation session left me off the bike for 10 days. Then recovery followed by a bone scan and a bad reaction to the dye means I've possibly done less than 100 miles this month. Will need to pull my finger out next month. Theres a HOLEP op in my future too with a month off the bike to follow.

April ends for me on 444 - I think that's probably my most ever, devalued in my book by ALL being road miles

You've got that the wrong way round. And statute training mile is gauged by distance covered on a road bike. Off road you simply convert a roady distance statute mile to gnarr miles, which for conversion purposes are equal to nautical miles.

So off road is worth bonus points

All fine here, riding new places with new faces helping no end 8)

This thread seems to have died a bit. Anyway May was my best month so far this year at 934 miles. How's everyone else getting on?

You just wanted to post that you'd done 934 miles didn't you?! 😉

Chapeau!

566 in May for me, should be nearer 1000 in June if all goes to plan...

Totally flunked at 325 miles this month - too many weekends mountain biking with very few miles & too many beers I guess 😕

Forgot about this, just had a quick check,beginning of year was its usual slow start, but I managed 520 for April and just missed out by 13 miles in May. If I'd been keeping an eye on it I could have done 500 then as well.

@njee possibly!

just sharing as a proud SO but Munqe Chick (who hadn't signed up to this) did just over 500 miles in April, and [b]700[/b] miles in May 😯 8) She is neither commuting nor training for anything specific (I think the routine from training for Ironman Wales has stayed with her and she's dropped the running....) and it's a mix of road, MTB and CX.

I'm too embarrassed to check my own totals now!

I've been sticking to my 'try something new' mantra instead of chasing miles this year (only 380 in may), so far I've:

- Done some drop-bar offroading (CX ish stuff)
- Raced a particular XC series I've not done before but I've wanted to do for ages
- Gone BikePacking
- Gone Handbiking in a mix of 1920s-1940s invalid carriages and a modern race Handbike
- Upped the utility biking trips, more trailer hauling and less car using

And planning for some multi-day touring soon as well, having a lot of fun so far!

So mileage down on normal (~1800 for the year so far) for me, but a lot of new experiences instead.

My year picked up since last post, March and April we had that dry spell, so bagged 600 and 597 respectively so woot! there.
May was a bit rubbish and I've had low level sniffles throughout and still not shifted, a rather poor, considering the time of year, 436 (I should clock ~100 a week just commuting)

Yup I'm cracking on, most of it on the roadie.

Tan lines have appeared.. 😀

Managed my first 500 mile month in June, I've lost a few pounds as a result, sadly 95% singlespeed commuting miles.

700 miles behind the target so far this year.....but heck of a lot of mtb mile, which is good.

1000miles on the Mtb for May. Not felt great for June though.

How'd everyone get on for June then? Got to 1007 for the month which keeps me over the 500 a month for all 6 months so far. I'll be taking it a bit easier for the next few weeks, before I start my main race of the year. Want to feel fresh for that.

need 10 miles for my 1st 500 mile month of the year.....might even manage 600 miles. 😀

finding this loads harder than last year.

Excellent..

Me?

Given up on counting. 😀

I've been doing 500 (road)miles/month as part of my commute recently and I have to admit that it feels really good! I can see why you'd want to commit to it 🙂

So far since Winter ended I've usually only managed 250-350 per month but then I only ride off-road and only for fun. I've been aiming for 500 for a while but it's never happened. Full time job, lack of doorstep riding, bad weather and lack of endurance, all getting in the way. It's also going to get a lot less than that in Winter.
