copying what others are doing in a different format? maybe.
fun? definitly.

lets see if the cyclists/casual bike riders can get to 10k before the runners do.

i will start: this mornings commute brings the total to 3.3 miles. a very wet 3.3 miles with the rain we are getting.
will post more miles today as well.

0+3.3= 3.3 miles biked

by **Tomlidich** » Thu Oct 06, 2011 3:58 pm UTC

yesterdays commute home= 3.3 miles
todays commute= another 3.3
going back home and then back to work cuz i forgot something= 6.6 miles

3.3+3.3+6.6+3.3 = 16.5 miles biked.
anyone else wanna join in?

by **ElCarl** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 1:15 am UTC

16.5+15=31.5

Velodrome session a few days ago, was pretty good

Hopefully this thread won't take too long to complete if we get a bunch more people to join in

by **Tomlidich** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 3:16 pm UTC

31.5+3.3=34.8

todays commute to the office. didn't bike home on friday though.

yeah. hopefully we can get more people in on this and rack up miles like crazy.

by **fizzgig** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 5:08 am UTC

I didn't take my Garmin with me yesterday, so I'm not 100% sure, but Google Maps says about 30km, so I'm gonna go with that.

34.8 + 18.6 = 53.4

by **Tomlidich** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 3:34 pm UTC

yesterdays commute home + todays commute into work

53.4 + 6.6 = 60

woot even number.

we are makin progress peoples!

by **fizzgig** » Wed Oct 12, 2011 7:06 am UTC

60 + 15 = 75

by **Paranoid__Android** » Wed Oct 12, 2011 1:08 pm UTC

Now this is a thread I can get involved with.

Just did a 19 hour, 200 mile ride.

75+200=275

amazing.

oh and: yesterdays commute home and todays commute in

275 + 6.6 = 281.6

we are gonna be at 10k in no time at all.

by **llamanaru** » Wed Oct 12, 2011 7:49 pm UTC

Shit, Android. Was that mountain or road?
Also, 281.6 + 41 = 322.6

by **fizzgig** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 9:01 am UTC

322.6 + 23.5 = 346.1

How good is daylight savings and being able to go riding after work :-D

by **Tomlidich** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 5:32 pm UTC

346.1 + 6.6 = 352.7

pretty awesome. once i get my steel frame build done im going to be doing some really long distance runs.

by **fizzgig** » Fri Oct 14, 2011 8:48 am UTC

352.7 + 20.1 = 372.8

by **Tomlidich** » Fri Oct 14, 2011 3:26 pm UTC

372.8 + 6.6 = 379.4

we are almost to 400 miles! woot.

by **fizzgig** » Sat Oct 15, 2011 3:37 am UTC

Sorted:

379.4 + 27.2 = 406.6

I would have gone further but this giant ball of burning gas appeared in the sky and superheated the air to like 25 degrees C! (Yeah we're just coming out of winter here. It was a bit of a shock to the system)

by **fizzgig** » Mon Oct 17, 2011 12:40 am UTC

406.6 + 24.9 = 431.5

by **Evengeduld** » Mon Oct 17, 2011 6:21 am UTC

431.5 + 50 = 481.3

by **Ulc** » Mon Oct 17, 2011 6:44 am UTC

I'm going to add the daily commute in week long chunks, and add any longer trips separately, otherwise I'll be posting far more than I care to.

481.3 + 15 (last weeks commute) = 496,3

I'm planning to ride to the harbour (20km each way) and buy some smoked mackerel sometime during the week though, should help)

by **Obby** » Tue Oct 18, 2011 3:18 am UTC

496.5 + 16 = 512.5

Did a ride up East River Drive, into Manayunk, then back down West River Drive back to my house. Totals about 16 miles, it was very enjoyable.

Dark Souls Challenge · by **Mishrak** » Thu Oct 20, 2011 4:36 pm UTC

I'll go back retroactively to Sunday and start adding my rides in from now on:)

16.1 miles in an hour.

512.5 + 16.1 = 528.6

by **jerag** » Thu Oct 20, 2011 9:48 pm UTC

retroactive to the 5th but 11 school days(i played hooky once) 6.5 mile commute each day works out to being 71.5

512.5+71.5 = 584.0

by **fizzgig** » Fri Oct 21, 2011 10:06 am UTC

My commute for the week:

584 + 75 = 659

by **Paranoid__Android** » Sat Oct 22, 2011 12:41 am UTC

general cycling this week:
584+13 = 597

by **fizzgig** » Sun Oct 23, 2011 8:40 pm UTC

597 + 80.77 = 677.77

If only I'd ridden another 30km, I could have made 100 miles...

by **EvilDuckie** » Wed Oct 26, 2011 11:18 am UTC

Starting retroactivly from last Saturday:
677.77 + 64 = 741.77

by **ShootTheChicken** » Fri Oct 28, 2011 7:09 pm UTC

7.8 mi to and from work all week.

741.77 + 78 = 819.77

by **Jumble** » Fri Oct 28, 2011 10:51 pm UTC

And, as the guy who kicked off the 'run 10,000 miles' thread, I wish you guys luck. I'd also add that I cycle-commute ~50 miles per week (on a Brompton!) on top of the running. However, I won't be posting because:
A)I don't ride with a cycle computer so I can't claim the accuracy I'm sure you are looking for, and
B) there is such a thing as thread loyalty, you know.

Still, never mind, only 3000 miles before you lot with your Lycra and gears get close to our distance on foot. All the best & have fun! R

by **fizzgig** » Sat Oct 29, 2011 3:36 am UTC

gears? pffft.

My commute for the week:
819.77 + 30 = 849.77 (yay for a 2-day work week)

by **fizzgig** » Sat Oct 29, 2011 11:27 pm UTC

849.77 + 23.27 = 873.04

by **EvilDuckie** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 6:24 pm UTC

Rides on wednesday, saturday and sunday added...

873.04 + 22.11 + 38.96 + 24.92 = 95.03

by **fizzgig** » Tue Nov 01, 2011 8:01 pm UTC

Sunday ride:

959.03 + 12.52 = 971.55

by **ShootTheChicken** » Tue Nov 01, 2011 8:47 pm UTC

971.55 + 15.6 = 987.15

Next person will probably break 1000, so pre-emptive congratulations!

by **fizzgig** » Sun Nov 06, 2011 8:08 pm UTC

This week's riding:

987.15 + 26.71 (Mon) + 14.26 (Tues) + 36.07 (Wed) + 25.3 (Thurs) + 32.82 (Fri) + 20 (Sat) = 1122.312

by **EvilDuckie** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 10:59 am UTC

Saturday and sunday rides:

1122.312 + 35.69 (into Belgium, do I get bonus points for that?) + 25.71 = 1183.712

by **Poshepocket** » Fri Jan 20, 2012 6:21 am UTC

1183.712 + 5 = 1188.712
Biked to the library and back...

by **Tomlidich** » Wed Feb 08, 2012 6:01 pm UTC

i know i have kinda neglected this thread, congrats on everyone breaking 1k miles.

i actually became injured while on my gmc racer, and may not be riding a bike for awhile.

but soon, very soon i will get back to posting hundreds of miles here!

by **gaurwraith** » Thu Feb 09, 2012 11:30 am UTC

Oh, get well soon!
I had a competitive feeling between the bike10k and run10k threads, but not good to know it's not adding up miles mainly because your injured (or where are the others!)

by **fizzgig** » Mon Feb 13, 2012 11:05 pm UTC

1188.712 + 20.278 = 1209

if it is an actual bike, i will count it. so therefore, exercise bike= no,

bike attached to a resistance trainer also equals no.

if you are riding miles in a velodrome or the like, yes.

basically just have to travel a useful distance.
