How many miles?

I tried to calculate how many miles I have ridden a rode bike since high
school which was when I started getting serious about climbing. This
included everything, races, training rides, trainer at home, etc. I was
riding before Avocet and Ciclomaster came out so it's hard to remember and
count the miles but I came up with a very questionable number. How many
miles? What's your guest? I bet most of the older roadies on RBR are between
100k and 200k. Anybody over 200,000 miles lifetime?

I'm sure as hell not, but I'm betting on Mr. Crockett for most miles.

I think Davey is older than all of them, I'm sure he's older than Henry, but
he may not be riding much these days. Going to be interesting when they get to
telling stories though ;-)

I conservatively estimate the equivalent of at least 250,000.

Between 250,000 and 300,000 miles = 25 years of racing, plus a few years
before and after, with most racing years around 10,000 per year.

Or as I like to say - about half a million kilometers.

Our club member Dan Tonelli has close to 300,000 and there is one guy
in the US who has well over 1,000,000.

Nah, I only returned to bicycles in the late 80's and I have something
like 60,000.
