Hey everyone... I am trying to get an idea of what the average cyclist does in a week, and also how long you have been in the saddle. No real purpose to this, just curious ๐
I'll start... Time Cycling: 1st serious season Rides Per Week: 4 Avg Miles Per Ride: 50 Avg Hours Per Ride: 2.5
Third season of more serious riding, and second season with my new ride. Been challenged the last month or so with a number of life things, so my numbers here would be a little bit down right now, but over the last two years:
Miles/week: 175-250 Miles/ride: 40-75 Rides/week: 4-5 Favorite ride: Rolling hills or mountains.
Riding time: 1 year this month! Avg mph: 13-14 Avg distance per ride: 20 miles Training goals: Increase distance to 40 miles per ride; increase speed to 18 mph avg. Be a stronger climber.
Riding time: Since '95 Avg mph: 15-18 (very hilly area) Avg distance per ride: 30 miles Training goals: Increase my distances again. Get back into racing with a concentration on road races and climbing (used to be a total crit dog) Coming back after having a baby! :p
stats for my cycling can be downloaded and viewed by clicking here: gdi.co.zacycling stats.zipOpen โ whenever i complete a session, no matter how short or long, i input the info and upload the latest file ๐
I have a unique schedule, where I work from home Mondays and Fridays, so I use my lunch hour to ride. I can also start work earlier on those days (since I don't have my 90min commute) so that stretches the lunch hour out a bit.
Anyway, I usually do something like this:
Friday & Monday: 35mi @ 16-18mph avg. Saturday & Sunday: 65-70mi @ 15-17mpg avg. (there are no flat roads around here, and the summers are hot and humid)
For Tue, Wed, and Thurs, I usually take 1 or 2 of the days off, and on the other days I have some short rides (15-25 miles) that I hammer out at close to a 20mph average.
Time Cycling: 2 months serious Rides Per Week: Depending on how nice it is and how early i can ditch work so about 3-4 days Avg Miles Per Ride: average about 25 Avg Hours Per Ride: 1.5-2.5 Avg speed: 17-18 on typical westchester NY fairfield CT roads
