Road Cycling - mileage to date

Well I live in NY, so we have had:
COLD winter
wet spring

I also lost 9 weeks due to injury (end of Feb, Mar & Apr)

3,051 miles as of yesterday

how about you?

is that this year or from when?

I'm a full time devoted commuter and errand runner all year and all weather, ride weekend centuries, I am a firm believer in "bicycles for transportation" 10,241 as of right now, since January 1, 2003.

I'm at about 1200 miles this year so far... Not counting the endless hours on my trainer... this year I'm setting and olde computer up to get the mileage on the trainer !

I have ridden 100 days (year to date) and 3,528 miles. Just put on my third chain and 2nd cassette. The Florida sand really works on the gear!

5 months and 660 miles!! and loving every mile!

To this day, so far this year, I have 4, 035 miles.

I don't have that many miles as you all this year, but I have to put things in perspective for you.

Every year from 1988 up until august 2002 0 miles, 11,000 cigarettes.

This year, 203 miles 0 cigarettes.

I think that about says it :)

That definitely says it all! Congratulations! :D :D :D

About 3300 so far since Jan 1.

I have 877 miles in so far. This is my third year of "serious" riding (I'm 34). I have hopes of hitting 1,000+ every year from here on out. This is Wisconsin so my time is pretty much limited to riding from March to November. I refuse to ride while there is still sand and salt on the roads.

You folks who hit 2,000+ miles really impress me. I don't know where you find the time. I have two kids. My wife works a different shift than me, so when I'm home I'm watching the kids, and vise-versa.

Oh well they are getting older (as am I) so soon i will be able to just bolt whenever :)

1,005.8 miles since July 2nd, excluding rain days when I ride my fixie, and the week and half spent in various locales without my bike

I'm a brand new rider and except for the week that my computer went blank I have 152 miles since the end of July. :) Just getting started!

ohh my goooodness! You guys and gals are amazing! I'm bringing up the rear with a measly 300+ miles for 2003 (better than 2002, but not nearly as much as I'd like). I have some work cut out for me.

575 miles since April with a goal of 1000 for the year.....2 crashes - steep learning curve with clipless pedals beating up a slow learner. :)

Since returning to cycling after a 10 year lay off ... 700+ since late April.

i don't have records since jan 1, 2003 since i had replaced the battery of my cyclocomputer last july.

But my estimate is about 1500~1600kms(Jan-mid July). This was on my hybrid. Mid-July to date is 150kms.

But on my road (new), Odometer reading is at 600km since Mid July...

1600+150+600

Total = 2350kms ~ 1468.75 miles.

Put computers on the bikes at the end of March. 925 on the road and 325 on the MTB. Didn' t ride much in January and February.

I'm at about 650 since I bought my bike at beginning of July. Goal is to surpass 1000 by end of Sept.

Since Jan 3rd this year ive done close to 3000 miles, but was sick for most of march, april and may(and a little june).

WOW!!! Some of us take this way to seriously... or am I just jealous. :) I have 935 miles since late march on my new bike with a computer. Will hopefully break the 1000 mile barrier this week.

I got to say congrats to all who have tons of miles.... I dont know how you do it.

so far i only have about 6,000 km. it has been a difficult summer for me and i'm way off where i wanted to be at this point.

YTD - 3,110 miles. Check out www.bikejournal.com as a way to keep track of your mileage.

I have only done only 800km so far, but about 600km since I got my new road bike. Is being young an excuse for not putting in so much mileage? I am planning to do over 2000km by the end of this year. I know it doesn't sound easy but I hope I can do it. I have never rode more than 40km at a go because I seldom have energy bars on the go and I do not have 2 water bottle holders. I might start getting some bars to help me out and probably get more miles. It is quite hard though since I only have the weekends to really ride, and maybe Wednesday and Thursday. I still have to fit in my track and field training. This is the point in time when I really see great improvements. Heart rate is once again lower at the same effort level previously. Polar Fitness Test revealing at least a 4 points jump from 61 to 65 currently. I am recovering better and much better feeling everyday. I can only hope and pray that I can do more cycling. I am currently preparing for the x-country championships next year so may have to part with cycling especially the few months leading up to the competition.

To you guys, keep riding!

And, there is a Bikeforums team one can join, then watch us climb up in the statistics. Currently we are 5th down from 4'th.

Bill, if you joined we'd almost be back in fourth again. Everyone is welcome though, we have people from 13 miles to 3000 plus!

take care,

Steve

715 miles since June which is good for me. Also, going to do my first metric century in September. Looking for 1000 miles for the cycling season.

I tried to ride 2/3 of a mile for every mile that was ridden in the Tour de France. If they rode 150 miles in a day, I'd ride 100. By the end of the first week I was sore as hell. I think I'll do the same when the Vuelta gets going.

Well Dusty (our cockatoo) destroyed my computer earlier this year so I got a new one. But I did not have very many miles in. Since the new computer, I had 5870 miles as of this morning or thereabouts.

1973.09 since Jan 29 '03

Mileage 1/1 through 8/19/03 ... totaling appx. 5300 ... which is a mere 1/2 of mrfix's super high mileage ! Types of riding: 2600 commuting, 17 centuries 1700 +, and misc. other of over 1000

1,100 miles total, 600 with Cooper, 500 without. Will add an additional 330 next week with DALMAC! Planning on taking Cooper along, depending on weather conditions!!

From January 1, 2003 - August 18, 2003

Total 3,050 so far :)

1 Jan 2003 to 19 Aug 2003: 3107.7 mi

Holy cow you guys ride a lot of miles.

I've ridden 348 miles since Apr. 2003. A lot of these were single track on a mountain bike where 7 - 8 miles will do you in.

I've had a couple of cycle computers die on me this year but my mileage is somewhere around 5000-5500 including racing and training.

I crossed the 2,000 mile mark for the year this week.

LOL -- that's why you can't stop moving even in your avatar!! :D Just kidding!

note: over 90% of these miles are done while my family is still sleeping. i ride @ 5:30am. (even on weekends unless i do a group ride that is 8am to ???) the baby has slept through the night and is smiling up at me when i return a little after 7:15am. i put his passie back in his mouth, tell him i'll be right back....take a quick shower then change him and feed him. by that time the others are awakening....and we're off.

i go to sleep just after they do @ 9pm.

This summer........ 1,462 miles as of today ( good job, great bike & single life) and a very understanding dog.

bought a new bike in april...missed most of april due to rain and all of may secondary to fall off of new bike.

1200 miles june through august

would have 5x as many but i have to be a husband, father ....and i have to go to work :rolleyes:

This year has been pretty good for me, a bit behind where I would like to be though. The warmer weather starts soon, so hopefully I can make up some distance.
YTD 5580km/3487miles with 58,000m/190,000 feet of climbing. That's a lot of hills.

CHEERS.
