I've had 77 consecutive weeks of a minimum of 300 miles with my best week being 546 miles, the vast majority of these include a full weeks work as well. Yes I have no life.
I don't keep a record, although I once toured in Australia averaging 50+ miles a day, so must have done 300+. But I cycled yesterday with a 68 year old chap who did over 300 miles this week alone "because the weather was fine".
Trying to work it out, I think I'm probably just shy of 900 miles. One time would be when riding Calais-Brindisi in 11 days. Others would be Paris-Brest-Paris on different occasions, including riding there and back from the ferry.
I've done a charity Solihull to Paris ride which was just shy of 385 miles, and commmuted within the same week, so just above 400. That's a one off though!
My weekly miles have taken a big hit as I don't do my morning and evening local rides to the allotment . I used to extend them when I could .
Saying that the rides I am doing now seem to be working well and although I am riding less I am riding better .
I've managed 380 miles in a week (with lots of hill-climbing). It's not something I'd want to do regularly, though. My weekly commute is about half that.
A weedy 150 miles on holiday a couple of weeks ago. To be fair, there was wine that needed drinking and a beach that had to be sat on, too, otherwise it would have been empty.
