aener Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Just now, I got curious as to what the average sort of riding-time per week is for other people. Had a quick search and didn't find anything, so I made a poll. This does NOT include fixing/maintenance of bikes, or travel. Just the actual riding. Think I'm about 24/25 hours a week. And you?

bikeperson45 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I think I'm roughly at 8 hours , mainly riding weekends. But that's gonna change when GCSEs are over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobo_Grimmer Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Hum this will be interesting to see what other riders manage. I think I get about 5 to 8 hours in. I mainly ride weekends if the weather is good. would love to ride more but don't get as much time free as I'd like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 id say about 6 due to working all week and only get time at weekends (mainly sunday) I'm the same, some weeks i don't get to ride at all and others i'll ride for 10 hours+, so probably averages to 4-5 hours really.

psycholist Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I'm under the 5 hours trials at the moment, but most of the time I spend out at the moment is riding solo, so I can get the same amount of actual riding done in an hour as I manage in 2 or 3 hours with a group (Based on how sore my hands are afterwards anyway). For the last couple of months I've been digging trails for at least 5 or 6 hours on Saturdays for an XC race we're holding soon, and I'd usually spend a chunk of that riding trials, so I'd probably get over the 5 hours a week provided the weather wasn't completely foul. I also spend at least 4 hours riding XC, an hour and a quarter a week commuting by bike, at least 1 hour swimming and about 2 hours a week doing circuit training. I think for trials it's very hard to get the fitness you need just by riding trials - it makes sense to do a bit of everything. It also means if you pick up an injury you've got a better chance of finding something you can still do to stay some way active while it heals. But then given I turned 31 this year, I may have started to get sensible in my old age ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Jealous of how much you guys get to ride! I was thinking the same! I remember when I was younger riding for 4-5 hours each night after school (homework was far less a priority than riding ) These days I'm lucky to get out for even a couple of hours a week. Gives me an excuse for being rubbish though so it's ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 16 hours a week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 It's nearly finishing time at work, it's Friday, the weather's reasonable so I plan to deploy the trials bike very soon indeed ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Yeah, now uni is over, I can be out for some of the week! If only I could evade work as easily... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsMan Dan Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Probably 5-9.9 hours a week, usually after school for about an hour or two, nearly everyday if i can, mostly on the trials bike. But the XC bike usually sees about 2-4 hours of use during the week and about 5 hours at the weekend depending on the weather. Exams are coming to an end now too so that means more time on the bike!
