Are you a high roller?

[HLaB]

My current commute is very short (6.5 - 9 miles) so I guess that makes me the opposite of a High Roller.

 

[Sig SilverPrinter]

Sig, I know a much better route for that journey.

...and it'd earn you a high place on the shield. Takes a while though.

I have no desire to go back to Tollesbury

 

[Tharg2007]

i do between 7 and 10 each way every day. Think this is an average for city dwellers, those that live in the sticks will need to travel far and wide to get anywhere me thinks

 

[Twenty Inch]

Yes I do! Route here.

... and under threat of bad weather, I do it with a twenty inch front wheel.

I'll see you on the A214 one day!

 

[summerdays]

I'm doing 16/17 a day at the moment... so if you meant over 15 per day ... I just squeeze in but if you meant each way then no I would be incredibly tired plus late to pick up my kid from school. I noticed when I took part in Jam Busting June that I tended to be near the top of my employer table - so presumably had a higher than average mileage.

Edit: I see that it was one way - I'm so impressed with the totals that some people do ... why aren't they all on Cyclogs?

 

[BentMikey]

... because I'm on bikejournal?

I've done over 600 miles/month since April, with last month the biggest at 870.

 

[GAVSTER]

17 miles each way - three times a week.

2 miles each way the other two days on a brommie to station.

However - will wimp and get a lift when it's too rainy/windy/icy.

I'd put myself as 'High Poobah Wimp Roller'

 

[kevin_cambs_uk]

I will take Elite for me then!

I have never considered myself elite at anything except getting fat and overweight !

17 miles each way for me, every day unless I have to work late

 

[silverbow]

2 miles to my Silverbow Jnr school, then 2 miles back past the house and 5 miles to the office. Then 5 + 2 miles to collect Silverbow Jnr and 2 miles back home! Then when the current Mrs Silverbow returns home I go back to the office, 5 miles each way! 28 miles per day.

No fixie just a 1959 Raleigh 3 speed Apart from the home <-> school bit which is a pashley trike!

Not sure clasification I'm in? Can I count the evenings when I go to the gym? extra 4 miles, 3 times a week then.

Actually that makes 152 a week, I'm quite happy with that.

 

[chap]

I'm a high-roller!

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.

Excellent idea

[gaz]

Yes I do! Route here.

[BentMikey]

It's not that bad, only a hill after all.

 

[4F]

Ok I think I have got it. "Semi retired nearly Grand Water-buffalo High Roller"

14.5 miles each way fixed. Used to do it 5 times a day but now due to change in work only once or twice a week.
