How many miles a week

[Mac66]

80 miles per week on commute and usually a 50 over the weekend

I have recently got back into cycling after over 20 years of NOT cycling!!

Been doing 60 miles per week as a commute.

Would love to do 120 miles on weekend but cannot dedicate the time due to other commitments.

It's about 180 at the moment, give or take. 110 commute miles + weekend antics...

30-45 a week.

250-350 miles on the road & then 10-50 miles on the turbo.

My target is to do 250 miles per month. Recently I have been doing about 400 miles per month. Being made redundant from work does have it's advantages .

That's despite the weather being absolute cack around here since the start of May. If things improve, maybe I could get some REAL miles done!

I range fairly wildly between 50 and 200 miles per week, due to the fact that I travel a fair bit for work.

However, I have been cycling for only a short time at this point, so a long term average is as yet to be ascertained.

Looking through the responses, there's lots of folk out there putting out big mileages. I wonder if this kind of a post always brings out the peeps who got something to brag about, as opposed to the ones who feel they should be doing more.

About 100+ miles commuting 4 days a week plus whatever weekend riding I do which can be anything from 50-150miles.

gbb asked the question and everybodys replied honestly. There s no bragging involved is there ?

What type of average?

Based on my mileage so far this year, then mean averaging about 100 per week. This includes weeks when no/limited cycling occured due to weather/hols etc.

Median average is probably 140

In all honesty I was not suggesting that people are answering misleadingly. My point was to do with how likely a thread like this is to bring forth people whose weekly mileage is less than say 50 miles. And even that was not intended as a criticism, just an observation.

Or maybe I am reading it wrong and the average mileage of CycleChat members is genuinely 100+ per week. It's possible I guess.

Surely having ''bragging rights'' is no bad thing?

Good point. Bad weather months will definitely mean fewer miles for me. Similarly holiday times, or extended business trips.

There's some pretty serious mileage here folks!

I've just completed my first full year of commuting and occasional sunday riding on my first road bike and clocked up 5567miles making my weekly average 107miles...happy with that considering the winter we had.

Yes you are reading it wrong. You only have to check the MyCyclingLog Cycle Chat team to see some of the mileages that members achieve.
