611 miles in July

380 miles in July, with 8,900 ft of climb
compare May: 406 miles, 21,700 ft of climb
more of my mileage coming from a flat commute.

I've had a pain in my left knee for the last couple of weeks. I haven't adjusted anything so the only thing I can think of is that it's because I've been riding much more than normal. It's not too bad, just irritating, and doesn't prevent me riding so at the moment I'm just ignoring it and carrying on. Is this unwise?

Check saddle height anyway, I felt weird on my bike but hasn't changed my saddle height. Measured it and it was about 30 mm(!) too low. It slipped. A lot.
― joe sixpac hologram (Hunt3r), Sunday, 11 August 2013 16:37 (eleven years ago) link
Cleat + saddle position fixed my knee issues . I was told that nee should be directly over the pedal axle when the crank is horizontal and the cleat is centered under the widest part of the foot. The net result was the saddle moving back whilst staying at the same height, cleats moved back as well.

just under 400 miles for August - moved house in the middle of the month which obviously curtailed things a bit

Watching your rides on Strava has been making me jealous.
Managed approx 340 miles all-in this month, some of it mere pottles with toddlers on the Tarka trail, but most of it hard work on the new Cube. Not bad.

only 174 miles for me this month, despite being off work. I blame GTAV
off to majorca next week. intend to put in some serious miles & climbing
― cozen, Monday, 30 September 2013 15:32 (ten years ago) link
332 for me. Hopefully will be able to keep it going this autumn/winter - my club has had a relative surge in new members / interest in recent months thanks facebook/twitter/strava and there's no a reasonably group of about ten of us up for fast 50-mile rides each weekend once the racing's over.

Sick for a week, traveling for a week. I need to figure out a way to keep riding when I'm sick and don't feel like waking up early.

Strava says 299 miles, 19 hours, and 14,000 feet; didn't track the Tarka Trail pootles on it.

Just joined Endomondo. Just rejoined cycling after 15 years off the road. HFS at the folks who are doing +200mi, but I hope to join your ranks.

Yes, hello! I'd suggest using Strava as well as Endomondo; I run them concurrently as there's a nice mix of data between the two.

I don't know how on earth you can squeeze 800 miles in.

Ah, but not everything goes up on Strava. Strava claims I only did 224 miles in October, but in reality it was 237 - a highly significant difference.

i'm a bit selfish for one thing, but i get in a lot of commute miles- maybe 100 a week. i justify it as only about 30 or 40 minutes or so extra a day, because it's how i get to work. driving with traffic to work, plus parking and walking to office, is 45 or even 50 mins each way for me. bike/rail to work is 40 to 45 mins each way. riding in, door to desk is about an hour, home is about 65 mins. and i'm really lucky too, most ppl in my situation don't even have an extra 30 mins a day. or colorado's climate.
this all said, 800 was the most i've done under this arrangement, and i'm feelin pretty stale on it.

I missed out on 2000km by getting a bout of tonsillitis this week.
I'm stepping up the job search and also refocusing my riding a bit more on climbing so the milage is going to drop but I should be able to crack 8000km for the year. (I'm also down to 95kg from 102kg when I got to Australia and nearer 105kg at the start of the year so climbing is a lot more fun)

275 miles, 12,227 feet climbed in just shy of 20 hours in December.
For the year, 1,740 miles, 87,113 feet, and just shy of 120 hours. Which I'm pretty pleased with, given that all bar 250 of that has been since the start of July. Just wish I'd got back on the bike sooner and capped 3,000 again like I did in 2011.
