Poll - How many miles do you ride annually

dhungerf

So, How many miles do you ride in a year? I ride about 4000 miles, I think its a good blend of mental & physical escape

Work can't be getting too much in the way if you can do 4-5k.

I put 6000-7500. The lion's share of that is commuting though.

2456 in 2015.

2200 so far this year which comes a shock really as I didn't think I'd done that much.

I'll be getting into winter mode in abit though, a few turbo sessions (do they count...) and some regular base mile rides.

Those subtitles are pretty insulting and judgemental suggest you get rid of them if you want people to answer.

cgfw201

did 6500 in 2014 and 15. already on 6000 for this year so likely to end up on 8k+ i think. not that it means a lot.

No really, it's only the internet.

I suspect that most people would be able to take them in the light-hearted way they were intended.

I am in the "I have a serious problem" category and really don't get the insult, sorry... :roll:

Wow, sense of humour bypass right there. I bet you're fun to ride with.

I think this forum should be deemed a "safe space" in case anyone gets slightly insulted or offended.

Over 4,000 miles for me last year and the 2 years before that, this year it will be less due to other priorities.

have they been changed, because I have read them several times now and don't understand where any offence could come from ?????

fat daddy

for me its - 2000 & 3000, It's not about the bike, I have a life

although if you add my 5am zwift sessions its working out to be 6000miles ..... which should be, its all about the bike and computer, I DONT have a life

I tend to fall into one of the huge gaps between categories.

Also whilst I don't think the tag lines are insulting they don't really add anything and if you aren't working it's a bit odd to tick a box saying work gets in the way. Maybe I'm taking the design too seriously...

I aim to do around 1-1.5/2k a year.
Only done 800 so far this year due to a knee injury earlier in the year.

Plan is to do over 2k next year.

chris_bass

i'm comfortably over the the top group! having a girlfriend who lives 40 miles from my work sees to that!

pblakeney

Awkward.
Between 5 & 6 thousand miles.

deejaysee

Should clock 4000 this year which aint bad for my first ever year cycling.
I dont commute either

slowbike

I've put >10k - not because I do, or ever have - because the number of miles I ride annually changes significantly depending on other priorities - just had a look at my Strava records (doesn't count unless its on strava ok?)

Between 2 and 5k - my lowest will be this year at probably around 2k - other priorities at the weekends now...

Must be tiring.

philwint

Looking at current run-rate it will be about 6,000miles. And that is a lot more than the last two years. But I did 5,000 in 2013.....

So no real pattern for me. I have been really enjoying cycling again this year though which probably accounts for the record distance.

have you met her?

The_Wicker_Man

This year so far 2500 due to work, injury and depression. Last year I done around 8000 and 6000 the year before.

AK_jnr

Around 5 thousand with another 600/700 miles running. No, I'm not a triathlete. Haha. I just like looking after my body and overall fitness.

bbrap

Varies year to year 6-7.5 this year 4-5 last year, depends how much time I spend on the boat fishing (Yes I'm retired).

When did you have your mirth gland removed?

angry_bird

Should hit 10,000 in next week or so, mostly just riding with minimal commuting, put in about 11,000 last year. Next year, probably less than this year but similar to last year so 11,000ish I'd hope.

perhaps it is insulting and we just dont see it ? .. I think we need another poll

How many things can you take offence at during a day

0 - 1 - I realise that nothing happens when you find something offensive, no one dies, but some jokes push even my boundary
2-10 - I am a little sensitive, and dont quite understand other people have a different perspective to me
10-20 - wall flower here - I dont even switch channel from BBC 2 just in case
20-50 - I actively look for things to be offended by
50-100 - I read the daily mail
