So how many miles - kilometers - did you ride?

[CentralCaliBike]

5000 miles for 2009. I had the same goal last year but only got to a little over 4100 miles.

I hope to keep in the 4000 to 5000 miles range per year until retirement and then increase the mileage.

As a recreational rider I think this is reasonable

How this has anything to do with Bikes and Gear, I have no idea, other than the fact you need these things to rack up 4 grand and some change. Moved to the appropriate section.

 

[usedtobefast]

according to my log 7800 miles on the bike
312 on the run side. all who do this get a big
atta boy from me.

 

[B.Rasmussen]

Only about 4000 km. It's been a crappy year with illness and injuries. Colds and flu early in the year, broken rib in June which also meant July wasn't up to par, and now a shoulder injury has kept me off the bike for 3 months.

Hopefully next year will be better.

 

[CentralCaliBike]

Well done

over 300 on the run side - hats off to you, if I did that I think my legs would fall off.

 

[Ibanez]

500ish miles on the bike.
1300 miles running, taking an average of 25 mile weeks. Probably a conservative estimate.

Yeah, I swapped sports a while ago.

 

[forty four]

this year i have been sort of burnt out but i have ridden around 7500m. in the past 4 years its been more like 10000 to 12000 at the most.

thanks, i think about the days way back when i would ride 4 hours and then do
a 5k run. the farther along i get the less i need to do in miles.

Man, I only get in about 2000 miles a year in MN. Of course, our outside season is maybe 6 months at the max.

When I was racing, I'd do about 5000 miles in 6 months. But, no reason to ride that much now. Still love riding though.

 

[ianfra]

10000 miles and counting

It has been a good year, I should break the 10,000 miles barrier this year. moved to Thailand in May and have been banging out the miles around Chiang Mai since then. Great place for cycling.

 

[broken chain]

6200 miles,and get this,ZERO punctures.
I may have just put the whammy on myself
Merry Christmas

 

[python]

puny 998.

i wont even bother to round it off to a thousand. compared to my racing past with 12,000+/yr on a regular basis this is nothing.

but i have about 5,000 miles on cross-country skis this year (combined rollerskis off season and winter classic and skate skiing). just yesterday i put in 30 miles in 4 hours and could not be more frozen and happier.

ps.
interestingly, i find that in general cycling mileage correlates well with a rider's racing category - cat 1 are easily in 12-15,000 range and full pros are pushing 18,000 to 22,000.

 

[mherm79]

3300km, we'll below the 8000km I was hoping to get in, but not too bad given i lost about 6mths of riding due to work and the dreaded C.

oh well, there's always next year

 

[BroDeal]

Road: 5300 miles.
MTB: 1300 miles.
Trail running: 1100 miles. 100 of that in one race.

 

[Oldman]

Road: 5300 miles.
MTB: 1300 miles.

1100 miles! That's monstrous and sounds painful.

I tried to run a mile and both hamstrings started to lock up.
12,500 miles on the road.

 

[CentralCaliBike]

I just do not know how to get the time for 10,000 plus miles with work and kids. I am limited to Sundays and two evenings a week for riding. Add to that, the Sunday ride is mostly social and usually only goes for between 30 and 40 miles.

Some sad advice for bulk miles: indoor trainer shifts starting at 5:30 am. If you can even get 45 minutes of serious effort and do other riding outdoors you can work it out with the kids. Otherwise don't watch any TV unless you're on a trainer and cut out the forum. Like I said; some of it is downright sad but does build the power.

 

[BikeCentric]

5240 miles this year. Would have been a bit more but I hardly rode at all last January through March due to a number of things.

I hate the trainer - just hate it but that may be the way I have to go

 

[slightlytarnished]

5,900 Km with 65,100 metres of climbing, mostly in the French Alps.

Got lazy after the summer and then got a bad case of man flu.

Must do more in 2010.

 

[sometriguy]

3600 miles on Bike
1200 miles running
130 miles swimming

 

[Feldy82]

Due to my second knee surgery I lacked a lot of miles this year. I logged roughly 6,800 miles (road and mountain).

I gotta say it's why I love the outdoor epics when I get the chance. It's also the only way us rain-soaked riders can get meaningful intensity so we can enjoy your wonderful California terrain in the Spring. My sympathies on the time factor.

 

[nghpmc]

Just around 10.000 km this year.

4500 km on the roadbike,2500 km on the MTB and 3500 km daily transportation

 

[tijsseling]

Put in about 5000 miles on the road bike and 1030 miles on the running shoes.
