How many km's this year?

[SwissVan]

LOL @ PaulTCR - Is your masters perhaps in the statistics or spread sheet conjuring field. You could add cadence to your program and check how many circles you pressed out and if the one leg is doing more than the other

 

Personally I use the polar programs and mostly like to look at training TIME PER WEEK over the last few months. Nice easy way to see if you’re under or over done.

This was really a bad cycling year for me with fairly little cycling time. This thread triggered me to have a look.

 

I clocked 3500 for the year. I should do in the area of about 10 000. That is what I used to do a year.

10266 for me, mostly MTB. Will do the extra 34 tomorrow to get to 10300.

[PaulTCR]

I have no idea - I don't even have a distance/odo thingy on my bikes. I ride on time.

 

OK. My sad data records that I spent 327 hours cycling. That's almost 2 weeks solid.

[PaulTCR]

Interesting little thread, those who are doing 5k+, are you riding every single day or just hammering it on the weekends?

 

Mr. Excel says I rode on 176 days, so roughly every other day.

[PaulTCR]

Had just passed 20k in September when I had a crash in the US and that is when it all stopped.

 

Do you have a job, or a wife. Do you need time to sleep and eat?

[PaulTCR]

OK so there are some sad people like me - we should start a Face Book group Cycle Data Heads Anon.

 

Another question then by way of comparison. How many do the pros do - they must keep records?

[PaulTCR]

10524 MTB km's.

 

That's almost 30 a day, every day.

[Trubie]

12200, 95% road, rest MTB

[Rodney M]

not in the same league, but

Road: 1387k, 77hr

Mtb: 2196k, 171hr

Spinning: 93hr

 

Total: 3573k, 341hr

[BMXER]

OK. My sad data records that I spent 327 hours cycling. That's almost 2 weeks solid.

 

 

Your data is not to sad. Applying an average of 25km per hour (as you did not mention mtb or road), this all equates to 8175km for the year. Personally, both hours and distance are important as sitting in a bunch on the road for 2 hours does not equate equally to a 2 hour mtb haul.

[Cois]

You think yours is sad... I only did 300 km this year thanks to a crash and now again Crash boom bang!! At this trend I can just as well sell my bloody bikes!

[Jensie]

I did 11340km. ROAD only. And yes it was mostly in the mornings before work from 5 to 6:30. Average 5 times a week.

[Man with no name]

How many sad Huber’s are there like me who record practically every pedal stroke and mindlessly spew it all onto a spread sheet. I have one page for each ride then another page to compare similar rides.

 

Anyway, now we’re at the end of the year I am the proud owner of mindless information on how far and fast and high I went in 2010.

 

Last two years were around the 4500 mark but this year went well with more training and more races. I had 5000 in mind but it soon became evident that 6000 might be attainable. I devised another spreadsheet page to tell me what percentage of 6000 I was on and what total I would reach if I continued at the current average rate. 94.7, Noon2Moon, Pilgrims, and Sabie Experience helped boost the figures in December and this last Tuesday saw the 6000 milestone. The Wife and I actually stopped and took a picture!

 

Then, whilst entering the data that evening I noticed that 6205 would be a nice round figure to achieve as that would equate to an average of 17 km per day. So, today I was hard at it in 30+ temps making sure that even with the most major of mechanicals I could even push my bike the last few km to reach the target. A surprising stat is that during all this my ascent was in excess of 91000 metres.

 

I bet there are many out there who would laugh at such figures. I remember someone asking the ‘how many have you done in a month’ question a while back and his total was three times my average. But for someone bordering on Masters and with a proper job, I don’t think 6205 is bad.

 

Ja that is pathetic ....

 

Instead of using a spreadsheet rather use Cyclingpeaks WKO does all of the above for you AND plot your rides on Google Earth. Now THAT is geeky

[spaso9]

4500km. started riding in april this year.

99% mtb.

 

gonna try for 9000km next year. Joberg2c should help with some of the km's

[FBSP]

15500KM-2009 (10k rd-5,5k mtb), 16800Km-2010 (10,3k rd, 6,5k MTB).

 

Yes, we are very fastidious about our measurements! Funny creatures us cyclists.
