How often do you ride?

I'm out about 3 times a week for approx 1 hour (although I am extending this) and was wondering how often others ride?

I'm also peed off that as my bike is in need of repairs I'll probably not be back out on it until Wednesday.

    Every single day. :wink:

    Not always mountain biking unfortunately, but if I can;t get out on the HT I'll go for a road cycle instead.

    I usually cycle about 30k If I'm on the road or about 20k on the MTB, with longer rides on weekends.

    2 or 3 times a week usually, for a few hours at a time. We're local to Glentress luckily so it's easy to cram a lot of riding into a fairly short time, after work laps of the red route have been my main poison lately, and long mile-munching XC rides locally. Plus I commute sometimes, but I need time to rest before a big mtb ride and to recover after so with the midweek rides I don't commute so much now.

    I ride to/from work 3-5 days a week 3 miles each way
    Ride on an evening 3 times a week 15-20 miles for each one
    Ride one 30-40miler on a Sunday
    Ride to work can be (and is) extended to around 10 miles when I feel like it.

    I consider myself lucky to have some great hilly countryside on my doorstep, a flexible work timetable and an understandng missus :D

    I try to get out every night but that's more like three or four times a week when the kids are taken into account.

    Did nearly 19 miles yesterday, beautiful weather for it in the early evening. That's my longest ride yet, it's usually more like ten or eleven miles.

  • Rode 36 miles on Saturday and 20 yesterday, hoping (if my E.P.O. lets me) to get out today too.
    However only normally ride on a Sunday morning & Tuesday evening, which is NOT ENOUGH :cry:

    Was doing two to three times a week 2-4 hours a time plus 5 days commuting 30 minutes each way. then I fractured my arm and now the weather is taunting me with its perfection.

    10 mile commute mon-fri on the rockhopper with an extra 3 mile trail thrown in depending on day. And as much as i can cram in of a weekend on the EX depending on the kids football, clubs, other activities etc. So can be anything from a couple of hours to all day. Dont measure distance or average speed etc on the weekend. All about fun factor and pushing hard as i can.

    Nowhere near as much as I want to :roll: , which has been particularly bad in the last 5 weeks due to work/family commitments. Hope to get back to my tolerable minimum of at least 2 fixes a week asap
