From: The old Northwest Coast.
Bikes: 1973 Motobecane Grand Jubilee, 1981 Centurion Super LeMans, 2010 Gary Fisher Wahoo, 2003 Colnago Dream Lux, 2014 Giant Defy 1, 2015 Framed Bikes Minnesota 3.0, several older family Treks
My simple rule is:
50 miles a week maintain weight & health (3-4 rides a week)...keep an eye on calorie intake.
80 miles a week, eat whatever, lose a pound a week (5-6 rides a week with one long on weekend)
100 miles+ a week and prep for a century/back to back centuries, etc. (6 rides a week with long midweek, weekends)
I mix up riding during the week with fartlek, intervals, recovery, hills repeats, just to make it interesting.
