How far does the average cyclist travel on a ride?

Question

How many miles do you ride and what is you're experience level?

Answer 1

This realy does depend. Cycling has taken off in a big way and people are using bikes to cycle to work or as a Sunday thing with the family. So jo average might only do 7 - 8 miles per week, whereas most commited cyclists would view this as the warm up.

When I ride, I will tend to do about 20 miles. But these are mountain bike miles, so will take about 1 1/2 to 2 hrs, depending upon how big the hills and how bogy the mud. However, to a road cyclist, 20 miles is a gentle outing.

As for experience, pass. I do the occasional trail quest and will ride with my club. I do not race, but have been riding for three and a half years (two with my present club.). I do not know what this means as far as experience goes, but anybody who claims to be an expert is deluded.

Luck

Answer 2

When I ride during the week I try to get out for at least an hour, maybe 15-20 miles, and if I have time I'll go for a long one, 3+ hours, 45-55 miles. On the weekends we like to do long rides, 50+ miles, usually. Depending on time / family / honey-do needs.

I'm an old roadie, been riding/racing since the 80's.

Answer 3

I like to do 30 at a minimum when I ride. 103 was my most in a day, 150 in a weekend & 250 in a week. Last season I did 2,300 miles. 5,000 is my goal for this season.
This is my 3rd season as a serious cyclist.

Answer 4

i ride at least 5 miles every day. i race in the beginner class, but its the beginning of the season and im a bit out of shape. i still would ride around 5 miles a day, but i increase the intensity of the workout and get home quicker. in my prime, i do about 7 miles in 30 mins (i think, i haven't timed myself since october of last year). Ride on

Answer 5

I have been riding seriously about 5 yrs and usually spin about 80 if I have the time. If time is short, I do 40's or whatever I can fit in. A 10-mi MTN bike ride is a real workout, while sometimes doing a quick 40 on trails is 'easy'.....

Answer 6

It varies with each rider and their goals. I used to race and often had weeks of over 400 miles. I also often had rest weeks of only 100. Rides can be 15 mile "active recovery" rides, 80 mile races, or 130 endurance training days.

Answer 7

Today I rode 25 hilly miles. Most recreational rides are 100 miles for me. I commute 30 miles in one day. Occasionally I do double centuries (200 miles) in one day. Experience level? I'd say moderate to advanced.

Answer 8

On the roadbike, my average is about 30. My max is about 150. Minimum is 25.

On the mountain bike my minimum is 12, max is probably about 35 or 40 depending on technical aspects.

This is my third competitive season.

Answer 9

At my peak I was doing 100 miles a day. I entered in a few semi pro races but with work I had to quit.

Answer 10

relies upon at this sort of motorbike, variety of using etc. And generally used velocity will probable fall the extra you pass. surely the furthest I ever rode replace into approximately forty 5 miles, that's to London and back, and alongside the Grand Union Canal (no longer so gruelling) and there and back too 5 and 0.5 hours - so an generally used velocity of around 9 to 10 mph. (in all probability replace into approximately 18 mph on the way there, coming abode replace into annoying!) i replace into truly in wonderful condition, and narrow back then, and alter into using a annoying tail mountain motorbike. On street, on a street motorbike, out of equipped up factors, you'll be able to desire to truly zip alongside extra handy and swifter. yet another element, asides from wellbeing, is how primary the guy is with a motorbike. you'll be able to desire to be in wonderful condition, and run a million,000 miles an afternoon (properly, no, i assume you'll be able to desire to no longer yet we are going to say you are able to for sake of the occasion...), yet once you do no longer cycle in lots of cases, you will no longer have knowledgeable the comparable muscle mass you decide on for the experience.
