Re: how long do you ride a day?

The good thing about The Spit at the times I travel it is the Transit Lane means traffic is limited mostly to buses, which have a limit imposed on them of 30km/hr down hill. It sucks if you get caught behind one, but you have to worry about very few cars. The second good thing is that for the slow (very slow!) uphill leg is that you have an alternate route away from the traffic in both directions: Parriwi Road citybound, and Battle Boulevarde outbound. Citybound in the mornings I'm travelling as fast if not faster than most of the traffic, so I rarely cop abuse or get squeezed. |

Guess it sounds similar to my trip down the highway; no transit lane but am able to keep apace with the traffic at certain points or otherwise not impede the motorists too much. No fast downhill though unless, when going home, I count Fullers Rd at Chatswood. |

Re: how long do you ride a day?
Distance for me is always relevant to terain,elevation plus personal fitness
I ride 10km uphill to a point we call the lookout.It climbs from sea levle to 450 meters.On my best run i've made it 50 MIN to the top and 13 min down a round trop of 1h:03.normally we are happy with a round trip of 1h:20 I looked at some ride times i recorded a couple of years ago and the same ride used to take me 2h:00 ridding time not counting rest stops.

Re: how long do you ride a day?
When the weather is good (unlike today) I usually can get in 20 miles 3 days a week. It's flat ground, so not a lot of work. On the weekends I usually do a climb or two with friends. Usually about 4 miles up and 4 down, gaining about 1100 ft elevation. I'm always working to improve my climbing time. The last week I did the climb three days in a row - I was tired after the third day. Once a month I do a 40 mile and I try to do one longer. This last week I did an 80. I'm going to do my first century in the next month.

Re: how long do you ride a day?
Commutes Ran 18-20 Miles/day Until I Moved To A New Location -- Now, About 5. Fun Rides On Days Off I Don't Measure In Miles, But Hours -- Anywhere From 2 To 5, Depending On Weather, Route, Etc. All Of These Are On Fs/xc, Fat Tires, And At Least Part Of It Through Traffic

You be crazy!!! Don't know which is worse; the Spit or going down to Roseville bridge from Forestville.
