BIKE 10,000 miles

[Tomlidich]

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

[Tomlidich]

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?

[ElCarl]

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

[Tomlidich]

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.

[fizzgig]

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

[Tomlidich]

yesterdays commute home + todays commute into work

53.4 + 6.6 = 60

woot even number.

we are makin progress peoples!

[fizzgig]

60 + 15 = 75

[Paranoid__Android]

Now this is a thread I can get involved with.

Just did a 19 hour, 200 mile ride.

75+200=275

[Tomlidich]

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.

[llamanaru]

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

[fizzgig]

322.6 + 23.5 = 346.1

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

[Tomlidich]

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.

[fizzgig]

352.7 + 20.1 = 372.8

[Tomlidich]

372.8 + 6.6 = 379.4

we are almost to 400 miles! woot.

[fizzgig]

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)

[fizzgig]

406.6 + 24.9 = 431.5

[Evengeduld]

431.5 + 50 = 481.3

[Ulc]

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)

[Obby]

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.

[Mishrak]

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

[jerag]

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

[fizzgig]

My commute for the week:

584 + 75 = 659

[Paranoid__Android]

general cycling this week:
584+13 = 597

[fizzgig]

597 + 80.77 = 677.77

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

[EvilDuckie]

Starting retroactivly from last Saturday:
677.77 + 64 = 741.77

[ShootTheChicken]

7.8 mi to and from work all week.

741.77 + 78 = 819.77

[Jumble]

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

[fizzgig]

gears? pffft.

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

[fizzgig]

849.77 + 23.27 = 873.04

[EvilDuckie]

Rides on wednesday, saturday and sunday added...

873.04 + 22.11 + 38.96 + 24.92 = 95.03

[fizzgig]

Sunday ride:

959.03 + 12.52 = 971.55

[ShootTheChicken]

971.55 + 15.6 = 987.15

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

[fizzgig]

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

[EvilDuckie]

Saturday and sunday rides:

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

[Poshepocket]

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

[Tomlidich]

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!

[gaurwraith]

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!)

[fizzgig]

1188.712 + 20.278 = 1209

[Webzter]

anyone else wanna join in?

Outdoor miles only or miles on equipment allowed?

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.
