im just interested to see what kind of mileage people are prepared to do, and if they do it around their jobs etc.

Smash as many miles as you can during the month of January.
There are milestone badges to be earned starting at 200 miles and going all the way up to 1,000 miles.

Are you going down for the entire TDU Comedian or just some of it and the Bupa Challenge?
Problem is with Hervey Bay it is camping with mates... somehow I have to get up early in the morning after a night on the grog!

When I ride two big days a week I hit 200km, if I get a third it is 300+. All are climbing kays, 2500m up for two days, 4500+ for three.
I could probably ride 4-5 days a week without issue, at least in the short term, but I enjoy riding BMX (where I don't track kays) more than I enjoy riding my roadie.
Road bikes (and big climbs) are just a thoroughly enjoyable fitness activity and challenge for me.

About 5 to 6 days a week usually. I alternate between faster/longer rides and shorter/slower ones (eg, 30km at 25km/h average speed).stinhambo wrote:Out of interest do you guys cycle every day or do you have a rest day in between?
As long as it isn't burning hot or pouring down raining (or thundering) I'll head out for a ride whenever I can, I love it. This month I've done 754.6km according to Strava, and over 250km of that just this week.
I might join up - but I head back to work on the 14th January so that might play havoc with plans.

Depends on your fitness, how you ride (fast day 1/slow and relaxed - 25km recovery ride day 2. All at once or broken down to something longer in the morning with a short quick ride after work), your riding routine and if you ride with anyone else (group rides).stinhambo wrote:I always thought you should have a rest day in between. I guess this is how you build up big numbers!
