Well :biggrin: ???
Its always around 100 for me, (about 50/50 commuting / fitness riding), but once i get to that point i start to feel it in the knees at the end of the week.

It'd be interesting to see how we all do.

An average week is 100. A poor week is closer to 50 :sad:

I have just hit 350 miles on my new bike which I picked up three weeks ago today - pretty pleased to be averaging over 100 miles per week considering before that I hadn't cycled in years.

I've gone from practically nothing a few weeks ago to 85 miles last week, and probably something similar this week.

I'd like to be doing around 100 miles a week. From past experience, I know if I go much over that, I start struggling and getting odd aches and pains.

185 miles per week, 222 if I work Sunday - all commuting on my Saracen Instinct with city jets fitted, but looking to get a new bike in the next couple of weeks!

Averaging about 150 p/week. 60ish commuting and the rest on days off. I'm starting to think that the commuting miles are the ones that do the most good cos theyre non negotiable. Riding 15 miles to work at 630am in driving rain into a 40mph head wind has got to be worth the same as a 60 mile sunny ride on your day off.

Usually 54 miles a week commuting, 18 miles a day and I only work 3 days per week. I then make up and extra 50-70 miles on top via leisure riding most weeks if I feel like it and also the day to day riding to town and back.

34 miles per day Monday to Friday work and back plus 50 to 100 on most weekends so a max of about 270 but min of 170 ( I work nights as well )

I try and do at least 150 a week, but try and get it nearer 200 if I can. I have had a couple of weeks where it has gone over 300. My work is only 1.5 miles from home but I do 5 miles each way 4 or 5 days a week. I work nights so I have time for a ride most afternoons of around 25 miles, and I also try and get out on longer rides at the weekend.

Probably about 120 a week, all training miles. Been on annual leave this week and will have done about 200 miles, but also ran 5 miles and swam 2km, so feeling fit as a fiddle right now.
