What kind of mileage are you roadies doing per week?

[Rob13]

Interested to find out how many miles are you putting in a week on average, and how often?

[Mr Will]

About 120 a week at the moment, hopefully a bit more in the summer!

[rockandrollmark]

Probably about 100 for me, but likewise, will be spinning the cranks a bit more come summer time.

With non-icy roads at this time of year I'm doing 120-140/week using an old rigid MTB rather than a road bike, if it's icy I'll do an hour on the turbo.

As the weather improves (say 8-10C temperatures) that will increase to 150-180 using a road bike, warmer weather and it's normally 200-250 depending on sunshine and the job list from SWMBO.....

Edit - as for how often, I aim to either get out on the road or a turbo session 6 or 7 days a week. Sounds a lot but I'll mix in recovery sessions and normally have 2-3 completely idle days every month.

I commute daily and normally do a long ride out on a saturday, average around 120-150miles a week at the moment, hoping to build that upto to around 200 a week in the summer.

Currently working on my endurance so lots of spinning!

[DrMekon]

Around 300kms per week, sometimes a bit more, sometimes a bit less. It's been a slow start this week, as I was only really back on the bike from yesterday, but I should still manage 250km this week. Aiming for 13500km on the bike this year, and to do a super-randonneur series.

Good effort. I won't be doing that distance in my car, let alone my bicycle !

I covered about 2000 miles last year.

[cramman]

Last year was my first year commuting. Done just over 2000 miles.

First week back on it after Christmas, done 800 miles. Going to try for 100 a week, min, this year.
Well that's the plan.

[Matt London]

Coming back from injury and have done 2x50 mile (4hr) towpath rides in last 3 days. I hope to build up to 1x50 and 2x70 per week ( or road equivalent) in the next couple of months.
It could go pear shaped again though.......

[f13ldy]

I done 8 this week after 3 months off.

Nearly threw up twice as well...

[coupeboy]

Doing 2-3 x 30 miles in the week and 50-60 on Saturday and the club run on Sunday, which is normally about 70-80miles. Not always possible at the moment though, due to all the ice and snow.

[BigTuna]

None, it's cold and horrible outside.

[anonymous-user]

Currently about 120 a week, just commuting, too cold wet and snowy to be doing any runs at the weekend.

[darkyoung1000]

Generally just the commute at the moment (about 18 miles a day), although I did a little 40 mile shakedown today as it was nice out.

[mk1fan]

Many years ago I was doing 400 to 500 a week made up of commuting, training and competing. I would have been a lot 'better' if I had any clue about training!!

I share your pain, Matt. Weather/Broken Body/Advancing Age have all taken their toll since October. Would like to get back to about 110/120 mile per week, Monday to Thursday, as Friday is travel home day, and the long-haired General always has orders waiting for me, when I would much rather spend great chunks of the weekends in the saddle.
