what kind of daily rides do you guys do and in what elapsed time. just trying to see where i fit in. i do 20 miles on tue, @ thur in bout an hour then round 50 sat,@ sun in three hrs, is that normal. and as i read more about the sport i think im a "masher" it seems eaiser and less painful to ride the big gears is that good or bad?

5 days (weekdays) per 25 miles, alternative between flat/hill climing days.
On weekends I usually go surf, or if the waves are bad, just do a long ride (40-55 miler).

I am pretty happy with my routine, but I would like to incorporate some upper body workout during weekdays to help with surfing.

Yeah, be very carefull about mashing, you can get your knees screwed up

5-6 day a week 20-30mi average. Mashing can cause problems in th long run. This year I worked on my boss' mashing style and have gotten' him to spin. The biggest bounus for him is a major improvement in hill climbing, he now makes it to the top without walking the bike.
payment for couching/wrenching for my boss a DEAN stem for my bike. I got to love this man.

Cool. Do you have a special route you ride? Or do you ride till you get lost?

I was averaging 100-125 a week, but the last two weeks I haven't rode due to injuries to both hands doing another sport, so now I waiting for these to heal; I should be back on next week-I hope.

I'm a bike commuter. My commuting miles during the week are normally around 70 miles. I like to go out on the weekend for 50-100 miles.

nope
i just do loops around prospect park until it gets dark or my legs hurt, whichever comes first.
it does get kind of boring. im trying to find a new place to ride, do you know any?
