Just wondering. You riding a lot? A little? Not at all? I guess few people are ever fully satisfied with how much riding they get in, but realistically speaking, how satisfied are you?

Since the early season rainouts have calmed down, the wife and I are probably riding more than ever....once every two or three days. That's about what I can squeeze in between other interests. We usually ride both days on the weekends and once or twice during the week. We can't ask for much more than that!

(I'm ducking out of work in 15 minutes for some more MTB)

 

[llkoolkeg]

I have ridden perhaps only a dozen times this year thanks to a rough start, but most of those have been recently. Skillwise, I am even more tentative a pvssylike than ever. Yay me!

 

[laura]

I have been riding on the road evrey other day for the past month and it rules. I haven't riden this much in forever. I am usually out before the sun is up and get to see the sun rise down at the river. Its been the best way to start the day.

 

[Konabumm]

I have been riding alot of road bike over the past few months - training for mt. nebo - now that I have had my a$$ handed to me I'm getting back on the MTB so I can start training for some endoro races at the end of the summer. 18 hr solo is going to hurt

 

[jacksonpt]

I've been doing a lot of road riding, but very little mtnbiking. I'm one of those people who can't ever ride enough... but all in all, considering all the other responsibilities I have in life, I'm happy with how much I've been riding.

Do I want to ride more? duh. Do I realize I'm pretty lucky to be able to ride almost every day? Definitely.

 

[SkaredShtles]

I get out a few times here and there. I'm fairly satisfied - although a few more rides wouldn't hurt.

 

[MudGrrl]

I have not been riding.
I have been running.
And rock climbing.

Yeah, the road rides is where we are getting additional rides in, while the MTB rides are about the same number as usual. MBC is getting stronger. I really had to work to keep up with her on our road ride last night. I still get her on the hills, but she was laying it down on the flats. She doesn't believe me though. :wonky2:

 

[Heidi]

Hey Babs!

My riding is going really well. Last summer this time I couldn't ride because of my knee surgery. This year I am riding a lot of everything...road and mountain. I've done quite a few new mountain bike rides and explored a lot as well. I'm content

 

[Echo]

Other than commuting to and from work every day, I get on average only one MTB ride and one road ride per week. Almost no freeriding or DH this season, due to injury. Hopefully I can survive Whistler in a couple weeks

 

[Full Trucker]

I am quite satisfied with the amount I have been riding. I will concur with llkoolkeg: my skillz are definitely in the sissy zone, but the confidence is coming back after a rough 2004 (broken back) and a rougher 2005 (two serious surguries)... But I usually ride on average 3-4 times a week, even on a race week. Lots of DH up at the resorts, racing, gate starts/bmx, a little road here and there, and this past weekend I re-discovered XC!

It ruled, me and a buddy rode the Colorado Trail starting at Kenosha Pass, heading towards Georgia Pass. Kicked my @SS is what that ride did - I am in no shape for an epic above treeline just yet! We made it about 3/4 the way up to Georgia Pass and then turned back due to time and fitness constraints. This fall I DEFINTIELY want to do the whole 36 mile point-to-point epic from Kenosha, over Georgia, into Breckenridge.

Yaaaay bikes!

 

[McGRP01]

Meh, never as much as I would like. Maybe once or twice a week. One night road, the other mtn.. The sadest part is that I haven't been DH'ing yet this year. Really bummed about that, but the $$ just isn't there to do it right now.

 

[kidwoo]

I ride at least every other day at minimum. I kind of have to here. It snows.

Other than the moto fags riding trails they shouldn't be on and blowing out climbs and berms it's been going quite well.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Make it a loop back to Kenosha, you Wuss.

 

[goofy]

Was riding 3-5 times a week, mostly xc and dirt jumping, up until two weeks ago. Now not at all

I need to get out for some DH.

Any monkeys want to plan a sick day at work?

 

[N8 v2.0]

I ride 3-5 times a week also... thanks to my participating in the Arkansas MTB race series.

 

[Full Trucker]

I can take a sick day nearly any day of the week, and am always down for some DH. Now you just need to get on a plane and fly to Colorado and we're all set! Heck, you can even ship your bike to me and I'll build it for you down at the shop...

 

[Ascentrek]

(I'm ducking out of work in 15 minutes for some more MTB)

I'm riding once a week, and sometimes 4 times a week. It varies a ton. I have to be a lucky bahstahd due to the fact that I have singletrak out my backdoor.

I wish I were riding 5 days a week, consistantly, always on new trails.

I'm ducking out of work 4 hours early (after my lunch and RM fix). However, I have cellphone/email to get work done if I need to from the trail.

[douglas]

I have been riding quite a bit (I have no life so I have the time)
Both road & Mtn (but no DH for me either)

50 hours in the last 30 days, I think I should take a few days off and give my body some rest

 

[McGRP01]

Yes. neaky:

 

[Echo]

We should have a mini-monkeyfest at Diablo for those of us who are DH-deprived this season

Si si si! August 25-27th works for me. I'll fly out, or something.

 

[splat]

I have been commuting to work just about every day fpor the last couple months , and I love it !

Yaaaay bikes!

We gotta hook up. I've been on a high-country-big-bike rampage lately. Kenosha to Georgia is awesome, but the DH on Jefferson Creek is waaaay cool and flowy. You'd dig it.

I'm planning on doing a Kenosha to Breck to Copper mtn soon. If you want to go with, we can arrange the shuttle. You can bail out at Gold hill, and I'll continue on (if I can). I did that ride two years ago with another monkey. The West Ridge is a serious uphill after having done Georgia Pass. Be in shape. PM me and lets set something up.

 

[BurlyShirley]

It's going crappily. I havent ridden in two months almost.

 

[Nick]

I got off to a slow start but had been getting about 2 mtb rides per week + 2-3 street rides as well. 5 rides in a week is a good week by almost anyone's standards!

Having said that; I'm broken now and won't be riding until September.

 

[MMcG]

Damn! A perfect night to ride on the dirt tonight.

Have fun MBC and IAB - where ya ridin?

 

[amateur]

I ride every day, but commuting just isn't the same. My dh bike is in pieces and waiting on parts, I got a replacement frame, but it's waiting on parts. So my riding isn't going very well. No fun riding, just transportation

 

[SkaredShtles]

Forget West Ridge. That climb up Miner's Creek is gonna be the killer.

 

[sanjuro]

Riding? I just surf RM all day...

 

[dirtydirtysouf]

biking 4-5 days a week in the god awfull heat..............trying to lose the fat

 

[JohnE]

Not ridning at all in the past 8 weeks, damn international move! But my lit comes in Thursday, so with a little luck and some well palced begging, I will be pedaling by Sunday/Monday...in the heat.

 

[stevew]

it is not going at all.

 

[amydalayna]

Is that why you blew off downieville this weekend? Slacker.

--

Not as hot here as everywhere else, so I've been riding about 5 days a week. With 1 or 2 days at the BMX track.

Feels like summer is going to be over before I know it and I'll be back to playing around in the snow.

 

[sanjuro]

Is that why you blew off downieville this weekend? Slacker.

Dude, it was hot! I hid in my apartment the whole weekend...

 

[Zark]

My Dh riding is going pretty good, 4 or 5 runs on 2,000'+ descents every weekend. My XC bike is waiting for the weather to cooperate (too f'n hot to climb)

 

[druber]

It is hard to get in rides while still trying to be a good dad to my 2yo. For instance, I bailed on a ride tonight so that I can go to swim lessons with her. It is worth it, but that doesn't mean I won't miss the ride.

Up until about 2 weeks ago I was commuting (35 miles/day) ~3 times/week (Mon/Weds/Fri). The other two weekdays, I'd go MTB after work.

I also try to get in one long, long ride on the weekend.

Then two weeks ago my fork went out of commision. It is back and I am ready to get back on schedule.

 

[Kevin]

No XC so far this year, maybee when DH seasons over.
DH allmost every weekend, Id say about 3 out of 4 weekends since may.
Pretty happy with that, DH season isnt too long so I have to take advantage of it while it lasts.

 

[narlus]

where are you thinking? i was gonna do a solo vacation day and hit diablo sometime this year.

overall i'm riding a ton more than i've done in the past 5-6 years (which really isn't saying that much, but still...).
