I began riding(road bike) about 2 months ago, and after about a week getting used to it, I've been riding 4-6 days a week, 10-20 miles per ride. I'm riding with about medium intensity, mostly for the reason of shedding a few pounds.
I'm wondering, how many miles per day is a decent average? I really know nothing about biking so I'm a bit in the dark about average distances, times, etc.
Though I really enjoy biking, I just don't have the time to go for 20 mile rides that take an hour and a half out of my day. So, basically, I'm asking how many miles per day/week is a decent amount for someone trying to get healthy?
I know even riding a little is better than not at all...but I'm thinking more like I know water is good for me, but I'm not going to feel the benefits if I only have
4 oz. a day.
Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!
