How many miles have you done..?

webbhost

This year?

I did some quick calculations, and I have figured I have done in excess of 2050 Miles.

Shocking how it all adds up..

What have you people done this year?

ash68

as you say, the mileage soon adds up week on week etc. I've done around 10,500 miles so far this year.Alot of this is commuting mileage, it's a great way of getting out on the bike whatever the weather, and just becomes a good habit.I usually do a longish ride on a sunday, around 60-100 miles depending on how I feel / commitments etc.I don't train as such, don't do specific training drills or bother with heart moniters etc.Although I would probably be fitter/ faster if I did. I just enjoy being out on the bike in the fresh air. 8)

I don't commute and only started about june, and had a 3 week break in august, so am quite pleased with my 712 miles

redddraggon

I do a mixture of commuting and random rides, only started at the end of June, had quite a reasons for being off the bike, but still managed just over 2000 miles in my first 5 months on the bike.

spasypaddy

probably around 1500 miles but i was out for 3 months injured and only got my bike in may

Aidocp

According to my bike log I've recorded 5,702miles my new road bikes only done 1022 since June :oops: wanted to do more but I had an injury and I take the Sirrus out in bad weather.

Darn.... I need to get out on my bike more.

Granted alot of mine was commuting too (6 miles per day).

Trouble I have right now is I dont know the roads very well so I;m stuck on specific roads lol.

Guess I could always get GPS and go exploring ... make biking more fun AND clock up the miles. weee

willbevan

hmm for me...

Running - 406 miles so far, and that was mainly from the start of the year, did to much and injured myself...

many months break and cycling now... so

Riding 540miles so far (started riding a couple months ago, 40miles been my longest so far)

If i include the walking ive done, im over 1000miles already, but will break the 1000 miles thats for sure just on running/biking

Hmm wonder how much ive done swimming, about 1k lol

Well it's only 240 miles for me. I just started commuting about 2 months ago (and i've been slacking). Next year it's gonna be thousands!

Goan yersel big man. Shed those kilos!

Definitely addictive. I get really tetchy if I don't get out.

BTW, I nearly took a spill on the ice on Monday. I had one hand on the bars; the other was signalling to the white van man behind me (probably on his phone) that I was turning right. He decided "f*ck that" and overtook me as I started my turn at the crossroads. Happy not to be dead, I was about to give him a salute, when the front wheel went out on a patch of ice and I had to attend to staying upright. Ironically, if he hadn't overtaken me, I would probably have gone under his wheels. Strange thing, road safety.

Still addicted though, regardless!

That's shockingly high :shock:

Bike Journal (www.bikejournal.com) tells me that this year I've covered 2776 miles but of that 2367 have been done since I got bitten by the cycling bug hard and bought my Somec Titano and 1936 of those miles have been on said Ti steed. Next year's target is 6500 including a week in Majorca and a 3 day 250 mile mini-tour from Yorkshire to South Wales

noggincp

pass 5,000 tomorrow

I'll try and get another 200 to get 100/week average but suspect I'll miss it

rwintle

I'm pretty low with my odometer showing only 1450 miles since last August. I've had a couple of periods of medium-length illness this year though and now I'm through that I'm racking up the miles.

Hope to have a much better number this time next year!

SBothwell

A paltry 1275 miles since I started using bikelogs in August, mostly commuting, and probably 1200 commuting before that (shorter route before I got a road bike).

DavidTQ

Some where around 2180 ish commuting only miles Ive not had a leisure ride yet...

PhilofCas

3-4000 mile

windyphil

somewhere around 4000 too. Would have been higher if I hadn't injured my back on the trampoline though........

allaction

Between 3400-3600 miles. Not done much last couple of weeks, man flu then crap weather!

Lucky Luke

I'll end up doing just short of 6000 logged miles this year . Really should get a computer for the mountain bike then I'd do more !

Clever Pun

probably around 4500. I was in New Zealand for all of Jan though

Tattoos mean I can't cycle for a week at a time either... had a few more of those

justrideallday

I'm around 4-5000, as my computer has been playimg up. I roughly do 100 +/- a few miles a week.

At the start of the year I was commuting but I am at uni now.

I have my eyes on the new garmin edge so next year I should have an accurate log

Adamskii

A little over 4000 miles this year. No excuse’s, I only ride a 100 miles a week. I'll be aiming to do more like 6000 next year after joining a club.

Nuggs

By golly, most people on here have done more miles on a bike this year than I've done in my car...

Massimo

I'm on 5634.2 miles as of this morning....If we get some decent weather over Christmas I should get past the 6000 mile barrier. As I'm on the Ride2Work scheme, brand new year = brand new bike!!!

(For sale 52cm Cannondale R800, 12 months old, done 6000 miles....)

rjeffroy

About 10,500. Half commuting, the rest racing, sportives, training.
