2017 Mileage so far?

[LemonCowboy]

340 miles in Jan (for some reason I count everything exercise in KM.. maybe because 550km looks better?)
Mainly wattbike / turbo with a handful of shorter weekend rides.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

1,607 miles.

 

[Effyb4]

120 miles in January. My best January total so far.

So you didn't really go 550km then : You spent xx hrs on the turbo/Wattbike plus a few shorter weekend rides

I'm not permitted to cycle outside currently hence the 0 miles, but I've done at least 20 minutes most days on my home exercise bike and a few trips to the gym to use the recumbent (no longer going due to PF)

Does indoor cycling of whatever flavour count towards mileage totals (I never have included)...discuss

Last winter I cycled a few hours every week in a gym just to keep ticking over but never counted the distances towards my annual total. This winter I just bought some decent winter gear and am battling on regardless. In fact, should winter miles count as double... discuss

320 commuting miles so far, leisure miles of 84. Picking up the new bike this week though so that will hopefully start rising.

Triple, as a minimum

Well, I need to try one of these ZWIFT thingmajigs - from what I understand, you can use a regular Turbo Trainer, as long as you have an ANT+ device. Moreover, you can really snazzy Turbos that alter the difficulty to emulate hills. But I can't see how a Turbo Trainer can truly emulate a steep ascent, or descent in terms of the technical challenges of a real ride. There's no wind, no rough surfaces, no puddles, mud, stones, traffic, obstacles, and actual real geology. So no - get these miles off the scores on the doors.

NO! It's not real cycling by any stretch of the imagination. If you want credit for miles done, get out on a bike, outside, and do them.

True technically actual miles they are not, but I like to think time in the saddle counts for something.. if i didn't count it i wouldn't end up doing it!
20 hours 18 mins in Jan on the bike.. probably a more honest representation :-)

187 miles so far this year with is bloody good seeing as i wasn't able to ride until the 21st due to work.

378 km - a great start to the year - didn't manage the 100 km challenge but did get 2 metric half century rides in. Joining the challenge has definitely helped my motivation

The CC monthly challenges are great for upping your millage. I did last years 50km challenge and loved it so much that I`m now doing the 2017 50km & 100km challenges. January got me 2x50km rides and 3x100km rides.

5 logged rides on strava = 255 miles + unlogged commutes = 160`ish miles.

Loving it

260 miles so far this year, trying to beat my total of 5,000 miles for last year, but haven't got off to a good start due to illness, icy roads and now several days of persistent rain!
