Pinkbike Poll: How Many Days Did You Ride In 2015?

Dec 11, 2015 at 17:49
by Mike Levy  
There are one hundred and four weekend days jammed into a year or just under two thousand, five hundred hours for most of us to do something other than work. That sounds like way more time than it actually feels like, doesn't it? I guess the old saying about time flying when you're having fun is especially true when talking about our precious Saturdays and Sundays. It's how you use those two days every week that matters. I know a lot of people who try to put in one hundred days on the bike every year, a number that, depending on how you've structured your life, may or may not be difficult to hit, and also one that sure matches up nicely with all those days away from work.

For a lot of people, however, life doesn't like to play ball when it comes to riding that much. Sure, some of you out there have no problem hitting two or even three hundred-plus days on the bike, but it's not a stretch to say that you bastards are in the very envied minority.

Or maybe you're more than happy to be getting out fifty, twenty, or even just a dozen times per year. It might come as a surprise to some of us, but there are probably many people out there who don't really want to ride much more than they did in 2015. Or maybe I'm wrong, and everybody always wants to ride even more than they're able to.

 It's easy to ride everyday, I do 150km a week just commuting then its riding my MTB or Road bike before work (typically another 30km each day) and always riding road 50-100km on Sunday with my missus.

Have the odd day off, sometimes nice to be off the bike!

 I think "riding" would imply not commuting to work? Unless you have some pretty sick commuting to do! For me riding implies riding for fun not getting from a to b

 I have nearly 500 rides for the year if I include commuting, but I still enjoy every trip. Bad weather, good weather, whatever.... It's always fun to be on the bike especially because every commute means I'm getting fitter and stronger for those days I put the Mojo on the car when the mountains beckon.

 Benlousic - take it easy Big Grin Make sometginh out of it. I did not have more than 30 rides in the woods this year. But I learned to wheelie on manual on my way to work everyday. I have 4km one way which means I did more or less 200.000 km this year out of which I did at least 20km on back wheel Big Grin but removing your account is a good choice Big Grin However thefirst thing to do is to open Facebook and unfollow all of your friends who don't have kids.

 @captaintyingknots that can't be true ... if you consider that 393

 I'm not tough enough to strava every ride. Its too deflating when you have the most rad ride ever and then you get home and see that you are 900th place because you sessioned the big drop 9 times.
  • 3 2
 What if you don't have strava? Do you just not exist then?
  • 6 0
 Strava isn't just about trying to KOM everything, I use it to log training, test setup, practice race paces styles, measured improvements in fitness or skill, and also see what and where my mates are riding and we encourage each other to go faster. All that, and of course rack up the KOMs Smile
  • 4 0
 I Strava pretty much every ride. It's for me, no one else. I don't care about my ranking relative to others, or KOM. As I get older, fitness is an important part of why I ride. I like knowing how far, the calories, etc. I don't get to ride as much, so I like riding with a purpose -- am I climbing better? Riding through that rock garden more smoothly? Strava helps me measure that.
  • 2 0
 Strava is like Facebook. All your friends called you a fag for being on it at first, a year later there they are along with your grandma and the rest of the world. It's a great tool. I like seeing my climbing improve, always knowing just how far a went and how much I actually climbed. Especially since every solo ride doesnt have to sound like a fishing story to your riding friends. Proof is there. Besides I never really remember its on mid ride. I KOM most of the time when I am just out having a good time feeling the flow.
  • 6 0
 I rode on 15 of the 365 days. Totalling a max of 26 runs. Shit all. Being injured from October 2014 September '15 meant nothing. Bought a bike, had 2 weeks on it, crashed and broke myself again leaving me out until two weeks ago. Definitely hoping for a better 2016 in all ways of riding and injury.

I'd guess I rode about 125 days.

 More than 150 days is the average - good on you people! If I can get in 2-3 rides in a week during the better months I'm happy. When the kids grow up I hope to push this past 100. BTW, I'm assuming commuting doesn't count, haha. Merry Christmas!

 I stopped using strava halfway through the year so I guess I may have 70-100 rides. I also do other things (imagine that) like trail running and gym stuff. As long as I feel good and exercise a bit I know I won't get dropped on group rides! haha.
  • 2 0
 Probably about 20 actual mtn bike rides. Working 50hrs a week, 2 kids to look after, dogs to walk and a hobby farm to rebuild and maintain takes time. I rode alot when i was younger (10k kilos in one year was my best) but these days i only climb on the bike to get in the woods and get some exercise. Maybe this year ill have more opportunity to get out and ride but its a balance as most find out later in life
  • 2 0
 60 days riding, many many hours volunteering to our trail crew HAFTA.CA and at least 30 big days of trail work and maintenance! A good year all in all, club is now in full swing so more riding and a few road trips are in order for 2016....I hope! Merry Christmas PBers

 I have no clue, I why should I have, there are a lot of other thing rather that riding, if I' count all my activities O'll lose couple of days from year for pure calculating rather than enjoing life
  • 3 2
 I walk the dog pretty much every day provided it's not really rainy --- LuLu doesn't like rain... she's a sissy if it's stormy.

Our walk consists of me riding a bike, her running along at my side. 20 to 30 minutes max.. we have a little loop we do, sometimes we'll go a different course, go a little longer..

Then for real rides, with some distance, that's as often as possible. 2+ hours, 3 times a week if I'm lucky.

I think it's a great way to stay fit --- for me as well as LuLu ---- the vet says she's in great shape but, I will say --- at some point in time, I might have to taper back. LuLu is a golden retriever an they tend to have hip problems. My hope, she's small for a golden, I hope that helps in the long run. My D O G before LuLu, Bailey lasted a good long time -- 14 years.

and to be dead honest --- for 50 years old... I'm still crushin' the trails and I honestly feel it's because I have been an avid biker pretty much my whole life. biking is a great form of exercise.

Rider owned.... for life (tag line from Transition Bikes). Something I follow strongly

RIDE ON!!!

 I cry every time I look out at the North Shore if I can't go riding that day. Although, I want to give thanks to Santa for a year of no crashes that didn't cause any injuries. Also a great year of very few tech problems with the bike... Better get that suspension rebuilt before I regret it! Playing hooky is the best form of riding your mountainbike during the weekdays! I recommend it everyone. It's seems so much more satisfying taking off during the day for a quickie on the Shore!

 With over 2700 miles logged so far this year there been a lot of smiling this year the only sad part is that only just over 300 was done on the dirt the rest is commuting keeping me healthy for the weekends at 56 all I have is hi hopes for the future that the present #'s will be flopped with the majority being on the dirt

 I ride all the time and every time I wear my Suunto Ambit to monitor my progress so I could go back and count but I don't wanna do that. I'm too lazy.

All I know is this is the year I didn't ride as much as I normally do due to a major accident. Left me off the bike for 5months and 2 shoulder surgeries. It's getting better but not 100%

I'm back on the bike though so I'm blessed for that. I hope next year I'll get to ride all year long!!

 I've done 170 days of riding according to my Trailforks ridelog. Trailforks lets you know how many days along with number of rides, Strava only shows number of rides, so the total is inflated by days with multiple tracks (shuttling) and they don't separate out road bike or commute rides, so my Strava total is much higher.

Additionally you can log your rides with the Trailforks ridelog feature without gps, if you just want to log the day or you forgot your phone/gps device.
  • 4 0
 I know you're a Mod plugging Trailforks but is it really designed to be compared to Strava? The GPS/ride features kinda seemed like an afterthought to me
  • 2 1
 not really, but it certainty does not have the same feature set as Strava as far as fitness tracking, thats why I use both and sync my rides to TF from Strava. Trailforks has different features and is actually more geared to tracking how many days a year you ride than Stava, for which this poll was a question. I actually created the ridelog feature before Trailforks even existed as a Facebook app for just tracking the days one rode.
  • 1 0
 I agree the ridelog feature sucks.

 Didn't count but 30-40 I would guess. Wife, kids, and a full time job make it tough to get out enough, but I enjoy the rides more than when I rode every couple days. Not counting commuting to work here and there, also had a knee injury....
  • 1 0
 But if a slow year ride-wise do to work commitments and injury, so probably only managed just over 100 days.
Working 4 on/4 off has its advantages and most rides were weekdays so there weren't any crowds/queues.
Next year should be better and hoping to add at least 50% to this year's total.

 I didn't get to ride my bike as much as I would've liked to since I cracked my AM bike mid summer and only got it fixed in September... But I did get to travel and ride it a lot of places.

April to June was spent riding Kicking Horse and the surrounding trails. In July I went to Panorama, Silver Star and the bike ranch (Kamloops) for a day at each place then spent a week in Whistler. After that I took the month of August off and rode Fernie, Silver Star and Sun Peaks for 3-2-2 days. The rest of August was spent riding Whistler with a day in Squamish and a day at Coast Gravity....

Then back East I stopped by Highland for a day... Since then I got my AM bike fixed and have been riding trails in Quebec a bit.. Most recently I rode Bromont on Christmas Eve. Crazy weather this year!!

In short this year was awesome, and hopefully 2016 is even better! Moving back to BC in the summer!

:-) Happy holidays!

 173 rides for me so far, if my house hadnt of needed so much done to it i wouldve managed more. I can manage out more than most people because im finished by 4pm most days and i can ride to my local trails in 15 minutes.

 I had 120 rides in 2015, averaged a little over 4 hrs ride time per week. I feel fortunate to be able to ride that much, considering I'm married with a 1 year old son, and work a full time job. I hope 2016 is even sweeter!

 I'm lucky enough to live super close to trails, so that means I can ride from home every day and still have a little bit of light left. But night riding never hurts.

 More would have been nice anyway, but I had two major injuries cutting that not enough down to "do I even ride"? As compared to other years where I road 366 days Wink

 My longest streak was 77 days straight, i've structured my life around riding, which puts me in the 300+ club. Get out there, no excuses!

 Better question: "How many hours did you ride last year?"
  • 1 0
 ...and I'm guessing about 120 for me, but that's back-of-the-napkin math (about 40 days, about 3 hours each).

Probably low by PB standards?

 You're a complete half wit. The thousands of kilometers I do commuting and road riding do wonders for me on the trails... I would drop you ascending and descending. Come on up to The Shore, I'll show you the benefits road riding.
