To little for my taste. Ive got maybe 1200 this season ive only had about 6 weeks ride time though. Im sure you guessed im a distance rider more than a speed rider. I do 3 7 mile runs a day min with a larger 40 mile ride to 2 40 mile rides weekly. I do the silver creek no less than 2 times a day even on days i do a 40. Each full run to silver creek roads and parking lots is 7 miles. So i do about 185 to 213 miles a week. Next season i hope to be doing multiple laps in the park 3 x a day and 3 laps per and always 2 40+ runs a week. Basically i want to add at least 50% more miles a week. If i get one of the jobs i want at the local bike shops next season ill be doing between 25 and 40 miles comuting a day 5 to 6 days weekly + 2x 3 lap runs at silver creek (about 12 miles per run). That will get me to the 300 miles a week mark. In other words 4600+ miles in a season. Back as little as 4 to 5 years ago i was doing 4k to 7k miles in one season. Im in better shape now at 33 than i was back then (much better shape). Now id never be a good racer i dont think and it dont bother me one bit. I can out ride most near me distance wise and most near me can out do me in speed easly.
Oh milage this month is about 1/3 my total

Not a good month at all for me. After a century in ther first week in which I screwed up my knee, did a couple rides and then got sick for the last week+. I had been doing 100-150+ miles/week since May until now. Plus, the daylight seems to really be plummeting.
Looking forward to a good weekend, though.

I did 7000 miles in September but had to take the last two weeks off because one of my legs got eaten by a portugese cocker spaniel while doing hill sprints on my handmade carbon unicycle. Normally I average 78000.
Seriously though I have a mate in England who trains for 23 hours a week and is a category level 1 mountain biker. That's insane although he does want to be a pro/elite rider. Normally I average about 500 but I want to double that this winter base training.

September was a crummy month for me. A full 15 days of not riding, thanks to getting sick, traveling, and feeling generally not well. Maybe I overtrained a little in August. The last time I was off the bike that long, I had a broken hip.
703 miles, 57,000' vertical.
But I'm starting to feel better. Grizzly Century tomorrow.

Hmmm....maybe I won't be hitting even 130 miles for the month, as my lower back started hurting a few hours ago. Dammit. Always seems to be something.....laying here with a heating pad, hoping it'll subside in a few hours.

- only 231 miles this month, but hoping to up the mileage over the next six months (can ride 'year round down here, with better riding weather during the winter months!)

I only got in 277 so far, but we had a hurricane threat last week that kept me off the road for an entire weekend... It'll be 300 even after my ride tonight.

Probably a little under 250 for me ... didn't have a bike computer for the first few rounds with my new roadie and there were also a few trips with the mountain bike that weren't recorded. I hope October goes well, I'm looking for more weekend trips

Fixed gear 105 (only had it for a week so this will increase)
Mtn bike 243.8
Road bike 530
Total 878.8 but will hit 900 before the day is over. Not bad for only being back on a bike for 9 weeks after 15 years off.
More happy about the 200 miles my wife put in her first month of riding...good job honey!
