I had a few 100 rides this year but most are about 25 to 50 on the single recumbent and about 5 to 20 on the tandem recumbent.  Some fellow cyclists would like to make a 100 miles ride this year and I fell that is a good goal since they really covered hundreds so far.  But what it all comes down to is that each time I take the bike out I only put a few miles on at any given time.

Our normal “just get on the bike” rides are in the 40 mile range, but in order to get stronger, we have started trading long rides for shorter ones with rolling hills or moderately steep climbs out of the river valley.  The shorter ones tend to be in the 10-15 mile range.  I guess it also depends a bit which bike we grab.

I usually end up going to Xenia & back for about 30, but sometimes only go about 20, stopping at the Little Miami crossing on Creekside.  And then, only once a month or so.

My miles are really down this year with all the travel I have been doing.  Nothing like the 70-90-100-124 mile days I put in during my ‘08 tour.

Like to ride about 30 miles on days off. Sometimes from Beatty to Xenia and back/ Sometimes from Springfield to Urbana and back. Many days I just ride around the trails in Springfield just to get fifteen miles or so in. That’s the beauty of biking!
