Road Cycling - What's your typical weekly schedule?

What's your typical weekly riding (or "training" if that is what you prefer to call it) schedule? As this is an international board, I expect that there will be a lot of variation, since the folks in the Southern hemisphere are doing a summer schedule while the rest of us are making it through the winter as best we can. Then there's the commuters, and the tourers...

Right now, I aim for 140 miles a week:

Saturday - ~50 miles
Sunday - ~50 miles
Mon-Fri - Two or three lunchtime rides totalling 40 miles

For the past two months I've also done a century ride and for the last three I've also completed a metric. That's about the only variation, unless there's a holiday, which means I get an additional long ride in that week. My plan for the year is to continue that trend.

Peace y'all,
Lou

Right now I am doing a little less than I would like.

3 days of commuting totaling 90 miles.
Sat - 40-50 miles.

Next week I am going to add one more day of commuting (30 more miles) and spinning class on thursday eves.

After work,ride 15-20 tue.,wed.,fri.Sat. and Sun 20 each.

I just started a new training schedule, warmup for the MS150 in April
this week
Monday - 8
Tuesday - 13
Wednesday - 15
Thursday - Off
Friday - 13
Saturday - 38
Sunday - 15

It goes up steadily for the next 13 weeks.
Gonna be fun.

I'm so far ahead of where I was last year. The good Central Coast of California weather gets the credit.

Monday 30-45 flats or small rollers
Tuesday 30-50 mix of hills and flats
Wednesday 40-60 rolling hills
or 35-50 big hills
Thursday Social ride with local geezers 20-45 depending on coffee shops (usually a lot of fun)
Friday 40-50 big hills
Saturday 35-35 club ride (usually faster than I am)
Sunday Off

If I have more partners during the week, I can get more miles because it is easier for me to get miles with companions.

Actually is really cold here in italy but i try to do my training like this:
monday 7:00-8:30am swimming 3:00-4:00pm running
tuesday 3:00-17:00 cross-country ski

6:30 Wake Up. Get ready for school.
8:00 School starts. BLAH
3:30 Get home from school

Soccer ended yesterday and I'm taking a few days to begin my training. It plan on working up to 60 miles a day (plus or minus)on average. With speed workouts on some of those days and wieghts 2-4 times a week.

sunday race day

Well it's still really cold here in the mornings. I ride about 7 miles before work, usually 4 weekdays. (There's always one night that I can't get to bed early enough, which makes it difficult to get up at 4 am for a ride.) Weekends - I try to get at least 20 miles in on each day. What with other things getting in the way and some really bad weather days, I'm averaging only 50 - 60 miles.

This Sunday is supposed to be sunny and 40 degrees f. Oh boy! I’m gon’a get about 50 miles in then! :)

Well coming up this monday I start my indoor training on the bicycle. I haven't ridden a normal bike since about november..So February is typically when I begin to get serious about training for the upcoming season, I'll ride on the indoor trainer 3 times to 5 times per week, and I've been doing a spinning class for the last

Oops, I didn't realize that post reply thing at the bottom on the page, has a time and word limit, so that's why it's incomplete...Anyway what I was saying is that I'm doing spinning class once a week and climb stairs at least twice a week...I'll do the indoor training on the bike for the whole month of february or untill I can get outside and ride....Hopefully that'll be soon!!..

It's really cold up here, so I hope it warms up soon, and I'm really looking forward to spring and riding outside...

in michigan

Monday: 45min spin around the block zone 1
Tuesday: 45km to work zone 2-3
Wednesday: 55km to work zone 2-3
Thursday: 65km to work at a faster pace than previous two days
Friday: off or 45min spin around the block zone 1
Saturday: Race 60-100km
Sunday: 45min spin around the block zone 1 or easy 50km

I only ride to work one way and get a lift home. All rides are in the hills, so staying in a zone can be difficult.

CHEERS.

indoor trainer

Just a newbie but ...

3 days spinning - 1 interval, 1 race day, 1 strength (sometimes a fourth of recovery or interval)

3 days full nautilus circuit

2 to 4 days 30 floors steps at work -2 steps at a time.

1 brisk 2 mile walk twice a week

Any other little steps, walks, weights I can sqeeze in.

Thats year round right now.

In the better weather add in any time to canoe, kayak, backpack, bike, flyfish(little hiking here).

Right now I am still on my rollers doing base miles. I try to average 25 a day, 175 a week, but some times its 40 one day 15 another. In a week or two I will start riding outside again. Then I will do tempo mon and tue (30 to 45 mins hr 160-163), wed and thur will be easy days 20-30 miles, and fri sat will be tempo again with sun being endurance 50-60 miles.
