How many times do you ride per week?

kjbuchan

Mine is 4 - 6, 25 mile round trip to work then between 35 - 60 miles on a sunday retail not good for regular days off avoid it

Good week - 3 x commute (so 6 rides) and a weekend ride of 30-50miles
Bad week - nothing; if I'm away and the weekend doesn't work out.

Usually it's somewhere in between.

Strangely the winter's better, as I get on the turbo and it's less impacted by life/weather.....I know I could use it in the Summer as well but it seems so "alien" to do that.

Usually 3-5 a week. 20-30mile rides in week at a fairly easy pace depending on how I feel, and a longer or harder ride at weekend if it's decent weather. Recently felt quite bad on the bike so eased off a bit. Can't get up hills for sh@t!

When I first got my bike last month I was going 5-6 times a week. Naturally that has reduced, as I'm increasing the intensity and duration of my rides. I'm probably going 4 times a week now, and usually I will ride 20-30 miles on my rides. I prefer to ride for 30-90 minutes at a moderately high intensity than go for hours.

Even at that short time (60-90 minutes) I find that I need a slight rest the following day, as I feel my legs a little heavy if I do a ride the following day and I'm about 1.0 mph off my usual pace. I have been making some schoolboy mistakes such as using a big gear and lower cadence, so I'm hoping changing it up to a bit of spinning and higher cadence might help me recover a little better.

10 rides per week (commutes Mon-Fri). No riding on the weekend at the moment as I do weights sessions.

I work 4 days on 4 days off. I ride to work on three of the days ( on the other I need the car to take uniform for the week ) then depending on other commitments I will ride on three of my days off. So six in total. About 100-130 miles a week.

5-6 days per week: 200-300miles rain or shine- mostly rain

twice a day every day Mon - Friday

Oh and a long haul on Sundays

I would go out on Saturdays also, but an ageing body needs it's rest

Twice a day? F*cking hell, are you mad or just insane.

Try to get out atleast 3 - 5 times in the week, then 1 on the weekend.

Excuse my language on the last but one post, it was late and I'd had some wine, a simple 'bloody hell' would have sufficed.

m8 no worries, I do not have a life

No realy I work 8 Miles away so more of a commute, however I do not go direct I vary the route, my aim is always to cover 30 - 40 Miles a day, not town riding nice country routes though.

I hope it was a good Wine

5 (or 10 depending on how you look at it).

I ride 1.6 miles to the train station, I then get on the train for half an hour then ride 8.5 miles to my office, same again in the evening but in reverse, so I cover about 100m a week.

I want to get out on the weekends more, but I often find myself pushed for time, once I pass my driving test I'll hopefully be able to use evenings and weekends better, and might try and ride home from the office once a week, as it's only 30m.
