Author Topic: What proportion of your distance over the year has been in audax events? (Read 10042 times)

I don’t keep fastidious records down to the last km, but assuming I get my lazy ass in gear before the year end and make an effort to reach 10,000km, I’m looking broadly as follows –

Audax events : 6,500km
Commute : 1,400km
“Training” : 1,200km
Family rides : 700km
Tandem : 200km
Racing : Nil.

My commute to work is annoyingly very short (a 9km round trip) and I rarely extend it into a longer ride.

Total distance higher than 2010 (7,300) but unsurprisingly much the same as 2007.

Perhaps a quarter to a third in terms of kilometres but in number maybe only around 1/20th. I don't commute either; most of my rides are solo pootles.

Brevets comprised somewhere close to 3/4 of my total distance last year, I guess.

2000	Club runs	34%
1600	Commuting/utility	28%
1600	Audax	28%
600	Other	10%
5800	Total

Audax: SR, + 300 + 600 + 1200 = 3600km. Total: 17500km, so 20% of all kms are audax events.
I will do another 200 audax though, so it might become something like 3800/18000=21%

Ian H · « **Reply #5 on:** 13 December, 2011, 01:54:08 pm »

I know my audax kms total 3,800, and I worked out my racing to a bit over 400. Back of envelope says more than 8,000 total, so that leaves getting on for 4,000 just for pleasure or otherwise unaccounted for.

Kim · « **Reply #6 on:** 13 December, 2011, 01:59:30 pm »

About 4%. This seems like a reasonably healthy figure.

My total is just about to pass 10,000k for the year.

I only do one Audax a month, with my first SR series this year, so Audax total is 3,100k = 31%

Which means the rest is my solo Sunday training ride, and commuting 15 miles/24k each way makes up the other 69%. Which surprises me. I would have though that the Audax rides were a higher percentage.

I'm currently sitting at 10,225km and according to the AUK site this year I've ridden 4,921km of audax, so I'm 48% audax and 52% other rides. Most other rides will consist of my commute which is 35km per day but there are a bunch of 50km training rides and a few mini tours in there. I'm also quite pleased because I've broken my annual distance record for the fourth year running.

6360km audax out of a total of about 9800 - so roughly 2/3 in audax. I think I need to up my leisure cycling...

.... Calculate ratio of commute/audax .... Divide by Zero Error .... restart CTF...
Must ride some audax next year.

61%
4,524 out of 7,388
Not enough between events, but life / work means I need the car too often. Target for 2011/2012 (audax year) is 12,000km, which may or may not involve a DIY jaunt to Istanbul at BR pace, but will almost certainly involve too much time sitting on my arse wishing I was cycling.

DrMekon · « **Reply #12 on:** 13 December, 2011, 03:25:27 pm »

Around 13% (1962km of audaxing, aiming for 15000km for the year).

jogler · « **Reply #13 on:** 13 December, 2011, 03:35:03 pm »

Very few km ridden* but I'd guess that 90% of 'em were auk.km.

ETA * estimated @ 1800km

About 11,100 km total

4,608km on audax (all but ~400 on tandem)
4,300km touring & other leisure (on tandem)

leaves about 2,200km of commuting, 'training' and pootling on solo.

So 80% by distance was on tandem

(3 months in South America, and PBP account for a lot)

Chris N · « **Reply #18 on:** 13 December, 2011, 03:56:41 pm »

11500km so far:

Audax	35%
Commuting	40%
MTB	5.5%
'Training'	19.3%
Racing	0.2%

Probably another 300km commuting to go, maybe another 200km audax.

Karla · « **Reply #19 on:** 13 December, 2011, 04:01:17 pm »

Audax: 4464km

TTing: It's in miles, dammit.
390.53 that also count towards my audax total
~238 miles that don't (rounding 5 hillclimbs to a mile each)

Other: errr ...

CrazyEnglishTriathlete · « **Reply #20 on:** 13 December, 2011, 04:06:14 pm »

Audax 3400
Racing 700
Club Runs 1500
Other Stuff 5400

Would prefer to do more riding in company but end up doing lots of miles v. early mornings to fit in with family. However have seen some great dawns.

Euan Uzami · « **Reply #21 on:** 13 December, 2011, 04:16:14 pm »

probably over 50%.

zigzag · « **Reply #22 on:** 13 December, 2011, 04:41:01 pm »

in kilometres, ~11 000 of which

commuting ~3800
audax ~3500
other ~3700

(surprisingly equal proportions!)

Gareth Rees · « **Reply #23 on:** 13 December, 2011, 04:46:22 pm »

Am I really such a slacker, or are people with less than 10,000 km to their name reluctant to post?
