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

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.

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...

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.

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).
