Are you a high roller?

[jonny jeez]

I've noticed a fair few members have longer and longer commutes at the moment and wondered how many of us have a run of over, say...15 miles.

If so, then pat yourself on the back and consider yourself a member of the unofficial C.C "High Rollers club".

Those in excess of 20...or who do in excess of 15 EVERY day surely deserve "Elite member" status .

Oh and if you do every day on a fixie or anything a bit weird (you crazy kids!), then you have reached the heights of "Grand Water-buffalo High Roller", take a seat on the throne whilst we all pay homage.

Feel free to asses and post your own rank below.

I'm quite happy with my status of "Frivolous Cyclist", although I do rack up 28 miles a day (if I do the short way home).

 

[Lazy-Commuter]

Guess I'll stick with the "Lazy" label, being as I can barely muster half a high roller.

 

[Theseus]

10 miles each way fixed. Just a Roller

 

[Twenty Inch]

16 miles a day most days, but interspersed with business trips to interesting parts of the world. What does that make me?

 

[BentMikey]

LOL! Thanks, but you can't compare riding my bike to riding a fixed. Riding a fixed is much harder work than a recumbent. I should know, I very occasionally take my fixed in. Not often, mind, I'm well knackered afterwards.

A high roller indeed!!

 

[rh100]

I can make a round trip of 4 if I go the long way

 

[Brains]

Hard Roller
6 miles each way - all flat. But I score extra points as it's Central London

 

[Absinthe Minded]

About 27 miles each way, I try to do it three times a week.
I go from Essex, all the way across London, and back again.

Map below (Pleasure / Pain), if anyone's remotely interested.

Jonny jeez, can I put forward the motion for the extremely honourable position of "Semi-Retired High Roller" for those of us who used to do such distances, but due to change of jobs can simply no longer commute by bike

 

[johnsie]

12 miles each way on the flat can seem like a marathon after a beery night, but its actually 2 miles 385 yards less!

Flippin eck!!...we are not worthy...your looking seriously like a grand water buffalo contender there.

 

[ACS]

At least 20 miles a day, with 500 feet of upwardness for the first 5 miles or so each way. Can just about average 16mph on the rare non windy day.
