Highest mileage week

[Welsh wheels]

I've just completed my highest mileage week. I managed 230 miles and strangely, I don't feel sore at all. It's a silly thing really, but it's nice to see all the effort I've putting in paying off. How many is the most miles you've done in a week?

I used to do 750 miles of riding in 13 riding days on my 2 week Spanish Spring cycling holidays so that would be about 400 miles a week. I don't think that I have ever got close to that in the UK though.

I did 540 miles (870km) in 13 days riding over 14 days, in the Alps / Pyrenees trip from which I just returned, but they were hilly ones: I totalled 20,425m climbing, an average of 1570m per day.

Used to commute 250 miles over a four day weekend. Split shifts, same trip twice a day.

Highest would be the trip to Holyhead, then from Dublin to Tuamgraney. Just over 300 in the same 24 hour period.

I managed 330 miles in a week on my tour last year, didn't feel too bad until I stopped!

235 last week. Which I was disappointed with.

I normally naturally end up around 180 just through commuting and mooching around so after my first 100mile ride I was a bit dischuffed with a week total of 235. But that was caused by just not getting around so much in the early part of the week.

Some years ago I did a nine-month ride through the Australian outback and on a couple of occasions I did 800+ miles in one-week periods on those lonely desert roads. And carrying all my gear and as much as 23 litres of water. I was very, very fit then.....

I put in 509 miles riding over a Friday to Thursday week riding 6 of the 7 days during June this year on a LEJOG ride.

615 in a week cycling from Geneva, through France to Calais. Ferry back to Dover and cycle to home.This was in 2015. We enjoyed it so much that we are doing the same next month.

Last week my weekly commute totaled 180 miles, plus a Doncaster to London ride (reported elswhere) of 250 Friday/Saturday. So a total of 430.

The highest I was regularly doing in a week was about 380, which would have been the late Noughties. I was in my early Forties and starting to find it a bit much so backed it off to less than 200, and then wound it down to my currently level of 00.00 mikes a week

Last week 296.4 if I'd have checked I would have rounded off to 300 !

Edit scrap that I cycled to work for 4 days 4 miles round trip. So 312.4 for last week. I really should log my commuting miles on a regular basis !

230 miles last week, probably my highest in one week. Helped on the way there by an 80 mile club ride on Wednesday and a 50 mile charity ride on Sunday, then one or two shorter rides.

266 miles last week....240 of those are regular commuting miles..the other 26 were a round trip to grap a costa cappacino early yesterday morning..bliss which brought me to the highest of 266..otherwise my riding at the moment is all commuting

Just over 800 for me in the week I rode Paris-Brest-Paris in 2015. I'm doing about 100-150 mile weeks at the moment unfortunately due to circumstances (work / son's racing) but this week will hopefully be my final LEL prep with 500-600 miles.
