I`ve been an avid road bicyclist since the early 80`s when I stopped running marathons. Was a category 3 (serious amateur) road racer during the late 80`s for four years.
Today I ride 25 miles a day Monday to Friday, and weekends if there are no details. I clocked 3800 miles last year.
Here is my ride..Trek 5200 carbon frame ( same bike that Lance Armsrtong rode to win the tour) I changed out the rims to Rolf wheels, Victoria Rufino tires.
Any other riders on or off road?

I ride both MTB and Road (Tri Bike)
I have a Trek 69`er Top Fuel MTB, and a Cervelo P2K Tri bike.
I`ll have to total up my miles from last year, but I get in a number of century rides over the past year. I try to get out 3 times a week, and depending on training can be 40-80 miles a ride.
Edit: Here is a pic taken of me at Iron Man Coeur d`Alene 2010:

I have a Gray Fisher MTB nice dual suspension ride but it doesn`t get much use. Nice pic of you on the road! Looks like the kind of rider I enjoy twisting the crank with

Very nice, I almost bought a Gary Fisher, but the 69`er won my heart (then I spent a few months finding one to buy because they were out of production at that point).

I ride a 2008 Jamis Xenith Pro. Haven`t been out as much lately because my schedule is kind of crazy, but I`m hoping to get back into it soon as it gets warmer out. I was into mountain biking until I tore some ligaments in my foot and had to carry some guy out of the woods with a bone sticking out of his ankle both in the same day...decided it wasn`t worth risking my career so I`ll stick with flat surfaces. :)

My full-time job is in a bike shop, although we specialize in MTB and BMX. My last few bikes were an 07 Rocky Mountain Switch which I sold to buy an 07 Specialized Enduro, Yeti DJ that was my dirt jumper (obviously), and an 07 Specialized Stumpjumper FSR that I tore down to build my Voodoo Wanga single speed. Currently I`m bikeless, although our shop has a large Specialized/Niner demo fleet, so I still have a choice of what I want to ride.

In my younger days this is the bike I use ( 1971 ) and enjoy for many years till I sold it in the 80`s.:wall It was a Italvega model with the gold plate on it and was one heck of a bike. Looks like I might get back into it very soon.
