Between 4-5 rides a week at 40ish miles per ride / 160 to 200 miles a weekly. That said I think I need to cut back on mileage.I feel and stats show I am going slower MPH than a shorter 25-35 mile ride.. How about you?

Y’all are smoking me in mileage. I normally ride around 3 times a week and get around 25-30 miles a week and my kids ride with me, one’s 16 the twins are 13.

I can’t get that many miles here with elevation I’m climbing and then descending

I’ve done a couple 27-29 mile rides but both have 3,600+’ of elevation.

Your elevation is pretty good. I live in flat part of the country even if I spend a day "looking " for hills maybe ill get 900-1000ft in a 25 mile ride.

Holy cow that’s flat.
Last Thursday’s ride. This is a pretty standard ride for me, I do this one at least once a week. However I managed to destroy my rear rim near the end of the ride and had to walk the last .5 to .75 miles out, so disregard the time on this one and my 13yo daughter was riding with me.

Ouch. I did the same thing with a carbon fiber E13 rim a couple years ago. My culprit was a puncture while bombing a downhill. I switched to Cush Cores until I got tired of the weight.

I was trying to jump a 24’ step up double. Apparently I cleared 21’, my front tire cleared it but my back tire cased it hitting a pointy rock. Killed the rim and put two holes in the tire.

Todays ride. Picked up a new tire and put the stock rear rim on. I didn’t try the step up double today

Rained all day it was pretty wet.

Depends

When I was training for performance I would try to stick to interval rides and get it 10hrs a week. That was all trail miles riding blues to double blacks in AZ, CO, CA, and Utah

Now I ebike my lazy ass into work at 35mph doing 45mi a day and get in a few black trail rides on the weekends with buddies. I need to schedule in a moab shuttle run this September and get in a weekend at big bear for downhill.

If I'm lucky I'm able to get 50 miles a week, but more often than not its half that. Currently confined to Zwift only for time/setup constraints.

I usually get too fatigued to safely descend the trails I ride before I get too fatigued to do more climbing. Only started recording my rides mid March. Attached File Attached File
