10 000 miles a year is only 200 a week. I do 50 - 100 miles a week without road riding other than commuting / running errands around the city.
commute by bike and do decent road ride and you are getting close

PMSL "ONLY" 200 miles a week. Yes whatever
I would be surprised anyone commutes 52 weeks a year wouldnt you
Also doubt if you are commuting 40 miles a day you will be doing a big run at the weekend eh!!
You do 50 miles a week for how many weeks a year 40? Thats 2000 miles a year, a bit off 10,000 is it not.
i used to do alot of cycling when i was younger and it was nothing like 10,000 miles a year probably half that and i considered that i was doing a lot, to double that is going some thats for sure.
I doubt anyone on here does a 40 mile daily commute 48 weeks a year.
For 2011: 1650 miles
Road: 680 miles
Off road: 970 miles
Really not a lot 🙁
Especially when you consider that 10 years ago, I'd have done that in well under a couple of months. Ah well, that's life...
yearly totals
2010 rides: 126
2010 mileage: 1588
2011 rides: 145
2011 mileage: 3380

stevewhyte - when I was last working, I was commuting 20 miles a day. That was in all weathers, including last winter when the roads were impassable to cars and buses. I usually only did 3 days a week, so 60 miles. On the times I did do 5/6 days, I was pretty much done in and I wouldn't do any big weekend rides. However, a couple of decent holidays will soon add on a couple of thousand miles.
Exactly druidh, even 20 miles a day 5 days a week is a fair old commute.
I cant imagine doing 10k miles on a bike. One heck of a sore arse i would think. Thats 600hrs cycling at a decent pace. Yiks
Also doubt if you are commuting 40 miles a day you will be doing a big run at the weekend eh!!
Why not? Ride in 3 days a week, then 5 hours over the weekend, very plausible indeed. Not easy necessarily, but very doable.

You get used to it. 30 minutes each end of the day isn't much.
My cycle commute is 23 miles into central London. Aim to do that 2-3 days a week normally, plus a 20 mile round trip to a different office one day. It adds up. I did 6080 miles from January - November 2011, so about 6600 in total or so!
I rode 475 hours in calender 2011. More than any other year since 2005 when I started recording. Strangely it didn't feel like a record breaking year or a particularly great year ride wise but somehow I clocked up the time. A mix of commuting mtb and road, races and casual.
My average over the last 7 years is 430 hours.
Bikes (of all shapes and sizes) 11,331 miles
Running 661 miles
Swimming 0.5 miles. must do better here...
.
284 on the bike so far this year, hopefully 100 (road) miles tomorrow.

I did 47 weeks, as I do get holidays occasionally. I don;t commute by bike on Thursdays in the summer as I take the TT bike in the car and go straight to the race after work. Otherwise, I would guess I missed a dozen or so rides either through having to take the car to go somewhere straight from work or it was just raining too hard.I would be surprised anyone commutes 52 weeks a year wouldnt you
8 miles the short way, usually come home a longer way. Overtook the snowplough on the way in one morning (he was stuck in traffic, same as everybody else, huge tailback on the hill)
😳 my daily mile profile says 758 miles for 2011. Allowing for times when I forgot my phone or batteries packed in mid-ride, it's probably a bit more than that but not much - only about 50-100 miles or so.
Need to increase the dosage this year methinks!
Interesting the psychology surrounding working from home. I [i]could[/i] go out riding for an hour before or after work - but because I don't [i]have[/i] to, I don't. I'm sure I racked up more miles more easily when I had to commute.
Some huge numbers on this thread. Was really impressed until i started to be a bit depressed. All that mileage must get a bit tedious. I think I ride a lot, I ride most days and all off road straight from the house. Most short and sweet with a few downhill runs thrown in when walking the now rather fast dog. Lots of downhilling days and some longer xc rides with friends at weekends etc but probably only 2000 a year, maybe 2500 at a push. Can't see how I would want to do more. Would not leave much time for anything else and most normal people would think I was pretty obsessive already. I know we are all different etc
Just looking at my data for last year. Sad
I rode 968.3km in the month of June 2011 which equates to 41hr 13min and 2sec.
514.96km on road at a 29.2kph average speed / 453.34km off road @ 19.2 kph average.
I was still a fat boy for the Marmotte though

Not that mines a particularly impressive total, but I don't find it tedious usually. Would like to have done more really. sure some winter commutes can be a bit crap, but generally it's ok. I don't tend to ride off road more than once a week, so the miles do add up quicker. I did about 430 hours, so less than 9 hours a week, which if you factor in commuting isn't very long at all.
Very impressed by some of these 10,000 miles!
I started commuting in June last year and clocked up a average 4,352 miles. That was however with May off the bike, and most of December.
This year I'm hoping to hit 7,000.

Not really, the 100+ milers with a few mates from the road club are a great laugh, five and half to six hours of constant pi$$ taking, like a mobile pub (with no beer unfortunately)
Did 18 rides in excess of 100 miles last year, plus one 24hr MTB race. That's a fifth of the total accounted for in three weeks...
I guess the numbers make more sense with road miles where 100 milers are not so epic. But still well played and I like the idea of a mobile pub, you might be on to something!
2011: 171 rides, 13,300km, 194,501m climbed, 515 hours. 😕
About 3/4 on road, no commuting, no turbo, all in Basque mountains/coast & Pyrenees.

Way ahead of you there
