Fifty Plus (50+) - How many miles did you ride for July?

I did 458 miles for the month of July. Not quite the number I expected since I was shooting for 150+ a week ride. I was just curious as to mileage the 50+ group log each month if they keep a goal of covering and recording their mileage per week or month. It would be interesting to see how we 50+ manage to maintain certain level of rides each month.

I had 773.

I logged 656 miles or 1055 kilometers (which sounds much more impressive).

461.50, which included my first century

1002 miles. Won't do that again for a while.

Somewhere around 350, I don't write it down, but I average about 90 a week. That seems about right for me, keeps me pretty happy!

I used to keep a log so I'd know what training worked, what miles I rode, etc. After about 6 mos. I just got too busy to keep track.

Because I divide my riding between the tandem (with a Garmin, no cumulative record) and my solo (with saved miles info) and I know I did just over 100/week in July, I guesstimate that I rode in excess of 600 miles for the month. Last week we did 187 miles. :eek:

Now I need a nap. And a more precise way to keep track of mileage.

402

Haven't tracked my milesin over a decade, but the month included 2 centuries and 2 metric centuries and most week days I do two 1 hour rides, about 800 miles for the month.

Distance: 562 miles
Altitude gain: 31,500 ft
Total Rides: 23

Not enough and too many.

I am not keeping track, exactly, but have been averaging about 150 miles per week, which would be about 600 miles or so.

398 in 19 rides. Last July was 351 which included my first century so this year was a little better overall and in number of rides.

Well I'll mention my July miles to establish the low bar: 277.1 Not expecting much more for August. My body fails to move in heat and humidity.

Only about 150, but I was only home for 1 week since July 9 - I travel for business a lot.

468, including my first century and 14 commutes to work.

Did my regulat 400 this month and this has been on the new bike. Still trying to summon up courage to try a real hill on it but That is me and not the bike.

Don't know, but not as much as I would like to have ridden. Working long hours lately and some of the days I had planned to ride it started thunderstorming as I left work. Concentrating on preparing for MTB races has really cut out a lot of my long rides too. My last race is this coming Sunday. After that I plan to get back to doing more longer rides.

708 miles, 22,345 ft

650-700

708 miles, 22,345 ft

But, 22,345 feet is just a bit over 4 miles???:) Is that a total of 712 miles?

229 for me. I was out of town on two weekends where I couldn't ride.

712 miles

I was unable to ride from the 11th through the 29th due to a bad fall. rode 13 miles on the 31st... 105 total for the month.

529

rode a bunch...

stopped 'logging' miles back in March
whole log thang had become a real PITA without any upside

I Feel Free

Somewhere around 300. July was a hellish month for me at work and at home. August just HAS to be better.

Just under 400. First time I did more than 300 in one month. Usually average about 280. August will be at least 400.

I had 707.

I respectfully decline to answer the question on the grounds it would embarrass me. :D

539, did I say it's hot down here.

490 miles and too many hills to think about.

Getting fitter all the time.

Another century with 10.000ft climbing to look forward to this Sunday.

Time to hit the road for a few months again soon I feel.

141 miles and proud of it. Just got my Suede W in May. Worked my way up from pedaling at 8-9 mph to 10-11 mph through gentle hill country. Hadn't been riding since the 80's (a lot) & 90's (once in a while).

Rode about 630 in three weeks and then haven't ridden since, been working to many hours and too tired to get back on the bike when I get home.

2,640,000 feet or 31,680,000 inches or 500 miles, depending on the unit of measurement

741 on a trike. I agree that logging is a major pain, so make that 741 plus/minus ten percent.

350 km, you do the math. Retired, no excuses, a little short of my goal of 400 km /mo. I figure I do more than 99% of my neighbours, it only looks puny amongst this group of fanatics. Lets start a 60+ group and weed out these young turks.

No, a 65+ group, and weed out those rogue 60-64 types!

505.61. About my average. Did 900+ last month.

Too dam many studlies in this forum.

653mi, (including 160mi for the RAIN ride), 19570 ft. climbing

Just over 500 miles.

556

I never ever keep track.
Took a bunch of days off for a concussion though.

At the end of July I have approximately 2065 miles for the year. I look at too many spread sheets at work to get that technical on my riding. The reason it is approximate is that I have some on my mountain bike and it doesn't have an odometer.

923, 25 riding days, avg'ing 5 days per week - July's my vacation.

565 and I haven't been able to ride since 7/25 due to a bum leg:(

I rode 826 miles. That's the most miles I've ridden in a month, so far.

Impressive result folks. It just show that the 50+ group are meticulous and serious about their cycling. For those who didn't think they log that many miles, don't be rough on yourself. There are more important things in life than just being on the saddle. Congratulations and kudos to everyone. Now let's see what August will bring us.

Do not have an exact mileage. Every week was over 100 miles, most over 150 miles. Total would be close to 600 miles, plus or minus.

I rode 381 miles in July. I was pretty proud of that mileage until I saw some of the other totals; now I feel like a slacker:(.
