3- 4 times a week between the mountain and road bike
do you ride atleast once a week?

not even close, this year.
each year seems to be declining... only got out for 2 DH weekends this year, and no mid-week rides. xc was paltry too....got in about the same mileage as last year on the road bike.

Do you all keep track of your mileage?
Feast or famine for me. Sometimes Ill ride all week, then not ride for a month. Just one of those things.
only road mileage. it's the only bike i have a computer on.
yup, the other day I hit 4K for the year
That is awesome.
I do not ride enough. Not nearly enough. Must work to change that.
Few times a day for me. woohoo! Once we get further into winter I subsititute more swimming and ski stuff in to give my body a bit of a break.
that's combined road and mountain?
thanks...and yes, both.
but it just means I have no life and I am anal (for keeping track)
You swim in the winter? You are a machine!
Quite the contrary. I would argue that the folks who can't find the time to get on their bikes have no life. No offense, losers. :biggrin:
I would have to agree. At least it feels like I have no life when I can't ride. I try to get out at least 3 times a week, and one of the weekend days.
I'm just hoping that someone reads this thread who hasn't been riding and gets out for a little spin today or this weekend 
I had forgotten how important it is to me physically and emotionally.
I had forgotten how important it is to me physically and emotionally.Just in case you're not joking... some people love riding, but for whatever reason, can't do it as much as they'd like.What kind of knob continues posting on a mtbike site even though they've stopped riding.
Kapow!
When I was racing, many years ago, it was 6-7 days a wk, 20+hours/wk for about 3 yrs except in nastiest of winter months. Now it's 3-6 days/wk with a mix of cruiser, rd bike, and mtn bike. Always mtn bike on wknds with one ride 3-5 hrs. Cruiser bike ride is into town to drink beer 
and bike paths home (with lights)... weeeee downhill all the way home. 
But late Oct-April, not so much on the bike anymore, and shift gears to snowboarding (60 days last season). Maybe a random mtn bike ride in NoBo if the snow sucks and it's warm at the most, and sometimes a 45min spin on the trainer

That is the pWn&d forum.that does make sense
maybe 'the man' could make a loser forum for those that dont ride
Thank god for that. I don't know what I'd do otherwise...
I was riding more before school started (5 days a week -- 2-3 mountain and 2-3 roads with Syd). Now I get out on the roads about 1-2 times per week and mountain 1-2 per week. I love being able to take Syd road riding with me
Start crap in the PNW forum. Actually you need to do more of that. SAC threads just aren't peckerwoody enough.
You ain't kidding.
If you follow the GMT threads, you'd know I'd have a friend whose husband went nuts and got committed to a mental facility for a week and a half. He used to be an avid road biker but he quit when he got married, for no other reason than he was completely ineffective when it came to managing time. (Being depressed and sleeping 14 hrs a day didn't help matters either). Well, upon release from the hospital part of his release instructions involved getting his ass out of bed in the am and onto the bike for a 1/2 an hour to an hour road ride each morning before going to work. So far he's been doing it and it seems to be helping. He says it he forgot how much a good ride can really clear your mind.
so true!
At least a couple rides on dirt and usually squeeze in a few hours of trail work too.
I ride 7 days a week. on average about 15 miles on the mtn bike. Can't stay away longer than a day. I have to stay up later to finish homework, but i find myself in a better mood after a ride. I'm regularly out until midnight durring the week riding, because of classes and HW. I will always have time for riding.
w/ all these people riding ~3 time a week, you'd think there would be more threads in the Ride Reports forum.
I'd give you rep for that fair dig at me - but I can't.
well, 6-8 of my rides/week are pretty much identical.w/ all these people riding ~3 time a week, you'd think there would be more threads in the Ride Reports forum.

I've done ride reports for most the more interesting rides I do. Doesn't make sense to report riding the same places again and again, not to mention I hate stopping to take pictures on the trail.
"ride" is so subjective. I haven't ridden my bike in a while and it shows. I will start riding more soon, I have to now that my wife is getting hotter.
Same here. I almost never go anywhere interesting much less take pictures. If I did I might write something up. It's been awhile.
I tell you what, I might just do that if she keeps on keepin' on.
She just started a new job at Curves as a circuit trainer. The fact she now holds a job where she gets paid to work out and look good is making my lazy ass look worse every day.
It's a blessing and a curse.
that is EPIC!
