How often do you ride?

[Pickle]

So, all of us share a passion for bicycles. But, how often do you ride them and why do you ride them?
I tend to ride at least 3 or 4 times a week on average, couple of hours or so at a time, mainly to keep fit and keep the weight off. I used to race through mid/late 90’s, but after a handful of years off the bikes completely I now just ride for pleasure. I also enjoy being out in the countryside, looking at the scenery and…….well, getting me and my bike covered in mud!
So, what about you lot?

6 days a week. used to be 7 but I've learnt the hard way you need time to let your body recover. If I'm ever forced to take more than 3days off in a row I get irritable. roll on summer & 11hr rides .. I've got soaked everyday this week

I know the feeling!

The wife had an unexpected 4 day stay in hospital with a post op infection, so I only got out twice last week :roll: How very inconsiderate of her!!

Six days a week, if you count the commute.

Due to work getting in the way of life only two or three times a week for me.

once every seven years

back now after a long rest (following a bad crash broken collar bone and a slipped disk in by back)
Aim is to get out 3 times a week, once I get a seatpost sorted.

Is the rain ever going to stop ?

Working split shifts , I get wet 4 times a day !! :evil:

oh and I ride 5 times a week to commute but tend to go home the long as often as possible , and one leisure ride at week end .

 

[ededwards]

Usually ride 6 days a week but 5 of those are an on road commute so don't really count! Then again, it's all riding just different riding.

I was thinking of simplifying by saying how many times a week I put shorts/tights on but that could get very dubious...

Not enough for me. But could be getting. Its being stuck in London 15 miles min. from the nearest decent off road area. But Summer is coming :? And then make up for lost time.
