I like that people clearly don't read the interim posts either, they read the first line of the OP, then post their answer.

for me it depends. im lucky as i live in the peaks. so on average i try and do 3 rides a week at least.

short blast/play round winhill/mam tor - normally only about 6-10 miles
or 15-35 miler around the similar areas. i try and do longer rides when i can, but if not i just head out and do what i can before it gets dark.

on average about 40-60 mile p/w, want to step it up to 50 mile minimum soon though...

In the last two weeks I have ridden around 100 miles.

4 times a week at Swinley for about 10 miles a pop and a big one on Sundays around double that.

My legs hurt.

Circa 30miles (2 rides) in the Peaks and maybe another more local ride <10miles.

Its all good.

Or I could answer
2x40mile rides in the Lakes on a 20yr old fully rigid singlespeeded bike :mrgreen:

For me my weekly commute I ride about 20 miles with two other Mountain Bike rides. A Tuesday night ride of about 25 - 30 miles and a weekend ride of 40 miles plus which is incresing in length each week as preparation for the SDW towards the end of the summer.

Circa 30miles (2 rides)

Just to clarify thats 2x15miles NOT 2x30mile rides.

I dont want the people with no life who ride and have nothing else in their life thinking I'm one of them.

About 15 miles once or twice a month (on average).

+ about 1 mile on a road bike pulling a bike trailer with 2 kids every weekday.

+ about 15 miles a week of off road running.

I do read them. Then I ignore them.

Well normally 1 MTB ride per week of 2-4 hours.
Over the longer days (May - Sep) this will go to 2 rides per week one of 2 one of 2-4 with occasional all-dayers.

I can't say on distance but I'd guess an avg of 7-8mph.

I do a 30ish mile offroad ride at the weekend and a 10-15 mile offroad ride every other day

An average night ride ranges from 12 to 18 miles and at the weekend an average ride would be between 25 and 40 miles. I try to do 3 rides a week and vary the terrain/route/pace etc as much as I can.

Im more interested that about 95% of the posts had evidently paid no attention to the OP.

Personally read it, paid attention, then ignored the bit I didn't like and included my spinning classes in the answer. Just back from one right now, in fact 🙂

I measure rides in vertical ascent not distance with it being Mountain biking and all.

In my defence Hora, in 32 days time (?) that mileage and frequency will drop away – that’s assuming my legs still function at all & I haven’t been carried off by the man-eating Scottish midges!
