Default Training mile equivalency


Hi all --

As I continue to mimic the 'Alps tour training'
(http://tinyurl.com/82wnv) I am often forced to combine bike and uni
miles. In order to be reasonable I've come up with an equivalency
system. Your comments are welcome.

Assumption: moderately hilly terrain.

Goal: Determine how many equivalent uni road miles I've ridden when
riding other things.

Road uni miles: 1 to 1
Road miles on MB: 2 to 1
Road miles on road bike: 3 to 1
Off-road miles on MB: 3 to 2
Off-road miles on uni: 1 to 2

That is, if I have ridden 15 miles off-road on the MB, that counts as 10
uni road miles. 15 miles off-road on uni counts as 30 uni road miles.
30 miles on-road on the road bike counts as 10 uni road miles.

What do you think?
