Per day, ditto. Who are you working for?

if someone isn't making fun of someone else...why bother reading this thread. maybe that's why the usual culprits haven't chimed in yet, they're busy thinking up new insults.

The week commute = ~75 mi.
errands, fun, weekend = ~ 10-30 ??
(If) long ride on weekend to Nyack or something = ~90 (admittedly hasn't been happening for the past many months... gotta start doing that again!)

Therefore, we're looking at a rough total of about 90 mi/week without the long ride and 180mi with.

I commute 27 miles round trip per day.
Yesterday, I had to come to work twice and had a 54 mile day.
A record for me. :)

when i was last in hardcore road training mode, i'd do 500+ miles in a good week.

brunop 12-16-05 07:11 AM

weather here lately is ****ty and i'm a fairweather rider (i don't mind cold, but i don't do wet--but a hardcore biker chick told me that if i just say i don't have fenders it's all forgiven) so my commute and errands lately have added up to around 60-70 miles a week.

23 miles round trip commute about three times a week lately. :beer: :beer: :beer:

my commuting is 25 miles a week. if there's good weather on the weekends--and there has not been, sigh-- i'll put in another twenty to forty.

**** the winter, seriously.

i ride sometimes. it's cool.

Matthew A Brown 12-16-05 10:04 AM

During the semester I'm up to around 130-160, depending how big the Saturday ride is. About 1/3 ended up being fixed towards the end.

Planning on doing the Gainesville Brevet Series this year and am awfully tempted to do the 200k on the singlespeed.

Adventures...

my commute is a 3mi r/t. it doesn't really count as a commute.
i average 150/week. i do count roller miles, thank god, since it's icky out now.
but i'm a mileage dork. i have a chart.

Wierd Beard 12-16-05 10:37 AM

I guess I average 90-120 miles in a week commuting, depending where I'm staying or where I have to work.

Jamtastic 12-16-05 01:58 PM

i ride alot now. I gave my car away haha so i have no choice. Id say close to 200 a week both business and pleasure. Sometimes more but rarely less...

BobtheBuilder 12-16-05 02:15 PM

hi, i'm bob. longtime reader, first-time poster. thought i'd pop the cherry with something simple, kinda work my way into the fold nice and easylike.

now that i've got the formalities out of the way, i'd say i do about 100 a week depending on weather. cold doesn't bother me, i'll walk into work with snot icicles hanging from my mask and beard, but black ice scares the **** out of me.

yeah, i actually hate riding bikes and all that nonsense. i just want to have an excuse to wear that mapei hat.

kurremkarm 12-16-05 02:26 PM

I ride about 35-40 miles per week unless its nice and warm and then i add about 20 miles to that for riding on my lunch breaks.

beppe 12-16-05 02:31 PM

About 100 miles a week, about half geared and half fixed.

Grimlach 12-16-05 02:32 PM

I do about ten a day.
If I get out to practice that's about another 10 to fifteen.

About 76 miles a week commuting. More if I have time to play! Richmond's not that bad with the exception of broad street towards the westend. Nothing worse than oblivious soccer moms on cell phones....good times. :rolleyes:
