497 miles over 36 hours with 9000m elevation.
About typical by this time of year but I have ridden every Saturday and Sunday so far this year with exception of 2 days.
You’re right, it’s the same.

How does it mimic it if i’m sitting on the same bike using the same action to produce watts ? The only thing that doesn’t change is the movement of the front wheel.
No weather, no wind, no potholes.... it's an exercise bike. It's also a training tool
2125 km/1320 miles.
15850 m/ 52,000 ft climbing
90 hrs 25.
A lot of that is commuting, which is pretty much pan-flat. Zwift? I'd rather throw all my bikes in the cut.
Distance 2963km
Rides 82
Elevation 61,768

Forest road with bits of single.
2438Kms this year in 101 hours, a lot of it commuting, but all of it on a proper bike, on roads and trails and a lot of it cold and wet!
Running: 282kms in 21 hrs 37. Agree with tthew on Zwift too!!
Sheesh! Theres some big miles out there. Great job people.
I only track mtb rides, commute is V short, and I've managed so far:
46 rides, 776.4km, 60h 27mins, and 15,500m ascent.
I'm quite pleased with that. Been nice to go out with friends about once a week also, gives things a push.
Getting gradually faster this year too, which is always a nice feeling when heading into my mid-40s 🙂
2500 miles since 1st January. Not including track riding which would add about another 300 miles
It's a bit down on where I normally am - usually I go to Spain for about 10 days in March but this year I didn't so that's knocked about 800 miles off my usual total to date. Also the properly shit weather in February / March really impacted my riding.
I did manage to get just over 600 iles in over Christmas though thanks to a nice holiday in the sun so at least i finished last year on a high, let's hope I can repeat that this year.
Some Zwift miles mixed in but no commutes as any journeys home from work have been proper road rides of 20 miles or more.
Distance - 3064.67 km/1,904.3 mi

All off road. I guess riding in the Lakes has its benefits
Strava tells me 1341km, 79h, 13387m over 44 rides.
Guess around 10 of those rides were on TrainerRoad.
224 hours (inc a small amount of zwift hours)
3,904km (not including zwift)
68,000 meters of climbing (also not including zwift)
1050 miles - way down on target but it’s tough to get away from work in early half of year.
90,000ft of elevation - had a few big days out.
2041 KM
15950 M Elevation
91 hours
Excluding Virtual Rides. If you count them I've ridden up Col l du Tourmalet, Stelvio and many other big mountain climbs over the winter, except I haven't. I was sitting in a hot room making the Video on Big Ring VR move with my legs. Good training though!
1,400 miles so far (I can only think in miles), 150,000 ft of ascent. All off-road rides, although a bit of tarmac creeps into them. Well up on the same point last year, despite spannering myself a bit at the first hint of good weather.
4953km, 80,377m of climbing, in 74 rides and 208 hours.
Half of those miles are abroad; I like holidays....
No Zwift.
Distance 3124 miles

No virtual miles or turbo time, mixture of road and off-road.

A fair bit of that is commuting. Down on what I was hoping for but the awful weather has had an impact. Time to make up for it now the sun's out. That being said I'm on holidays for three weeks this year with no possibility of taking a bike or riding. So I've had to turn to the dark side and have literally just started running as no exercise would do my head in.
2700km
106 hours
30,000m elevation (am dubious of this, some rides Strava has been obviously reading approx 50% high, so more likely 20,000m).
Am disappointed with that actually, felt like I had been riding loads, but then, 2700km IS loads by my previous standards. Having a 9 month old at home has limited opportunities for long rides, but I guess I could be commuting more, I tend to think 'rest day' = 'no riding' when I guess it could just mean 'not hammering the whole way'.
All outdoors though, quite pleased with some of the horrendous weather I've ridden through, agonising over layering and learning to never stop if cold and wet paid off handsomely in early January...
Building up to a 525km ride in September, and got a 328km ride coming up end of June, so at least the tally will get a nice little bump.
Just under 995 miles of mixed bimbling.
1540 miles
132h

no turbo miles, they don't count
The only thing that doesn’t change is the movement of the front wheel.
headwind
I'm on 3133 km (1,946 mile) , in 150 hours with a measly 28041 m (91,998 ft) of elevation gain all done in 90 rides to date.
Longest ride this year so far is 153km / 3600m at Ten Under the Ben, so all off-road on my MTB, hopefully that'll be eclipsed (possibly by twice the amount if it goes well) 1st week in June when I'm at the Euro 24hr champs
2,428 km. Happily all outside, but less happily mostly road (2,268 km).
At this point last year I'd done 5,639 km, but constant illness for the first few months of this year, and a toddler and pregnant wife to look after, means I'm way down on stats and fitness.
How are people measuring ascent accurately?
My Garmin edge says I did 711m one day last week whereas Google maps says the same route is only 173m 🤔 I've even logged a fair few metres of ascent on endomondo whilst canoeing down the river Wye 😀
2250km, 90hrs, 12,610m elevation, 68 rides. All outdoor, 80% road.
No idea compared to last year on kms, rides etc, most important stat for me is 3 races so far this year vs none last year
Distance 1636 miles
Time 131hrs
Elev 80,971
Only ride MTB.
Slow start - picking up now.

I don't use any of them app thingys, so I've worked out an average week/month scenario and I'm around 2000miles I reckon. None of it indoors cos that would wear out my carpet. (And I'd crash into the telly)

must get out more...
2078 miles
147 hours
163,145 feet climbing
A fair chunk of that was on Zwift until mid April, using ~85% difficulty on my Direto. But since the thaw in the south, all been outdoors.
Zwift doesn't count! If you don't move you haven't gone anywhere therefore you can't include virtual KMs
Yes I've peddled a bike but I certainly didn't climb anything or go anywhere.. I wish you could filter the Zwift miles out of Strava...
Hmmmm
However without Zwift miles I've probably done fewer than a 700km outdoor this year 🙁
How are people measuring ascent accurately?
I'm beginning to wonder if anyone does! I started a thread recently, apparently barometric measurement can be prone to inaccuracies, and I KNOW my GPS (Edge 25) is especially prone, although I have GLONAS switched off.
Even plotting routes can be hugely inaccurate, I plotted a route on Mallorca with lots of sidehilling and cutting through contours at acute angles. Strava calculated almost 3000m of ascent, but just tallying the biggest and most obvious climbs only came to 1800m. Likewise I've plotted the hilliest route I possible can in some local hills (The Ochils) which is a succession of 7 or 8 climbs, none of them higher than 350m max and probably only 200m maximum ascent per hill. Strava reckons I'm doing 2500m total...
Edit: I used to think Zwift miles should count, just because I could never bring myself to do them, therefore they must take commitment!
But they should at least be corrected for:
- lack of faff
- reduced pleading with wife for riding time
- extra childcare duties upon return as penance for getting out
- weather
- headwind
- road surface
- cleaning bike
- cleaning self
- arsehole drivers
etc. I'd say a 10% reduction for each of the above 😀
Zwift is to riding like fapping is to shagging.
Of course I can include Zwift, I've used a quality turbo with an accurate integrated power meter that also has a high gradient simulation range of up to 14%. Rides like https://www.strava.com/activities/1474874915 have made my outdoor climbing times improve, pretty much every cat3/4 I rode last year and this has a new PB from the last ~6 weeks 😉
3774km

1,800 miles and 160 hours here on strava. Local runs on top of that
360km and 22hrs, that's only since middle of March mind you.
I've climbed nearly 12,000ft too :0
3116 miles

Combination of commutes, racing, training and Zwift
If we're including Zwift, are we including self abuse as well?
Yours, halfway to the moon....
Zwift? That's like comparing ****ing with having a shag.
edit: sorry, so late to the party. 🙁
Strava says:
Distance: 1,214.6 mi
Time: 125h37m
Elev Gain: 73,707 ft
Rides: 200
Mostly commutes but no sad face about that here. All on MTB mostly rigid but some HT, ocassionally FS. No singletrack or big hills on the commutes but make the most of what is around which is enough for me to not want a road bike. Do get out to decent MTB locations from time to time.
Hang in, are any of these e-bike miles? Cos that really is fapping.
Cycling: 2150 miles over 135h 21m.
Running: 40 miles over 5hr 54m.
I haven't done anything for almost 2 weeks though due to buggering up my shoulder on the jennride.
