Is 65 miles on a mountain bike in a period of 8 hours a lot?
Im 17 years old and i just got a mountain bike yesterday and also a speed and mileage odometer. I like to bike everyday that its nice. I dont ride professionally just for fun. From the time I left my house at 4:30pm to when i got home at 2am, i rode 65 miles, including breaks. Is that a good amount? I didnt feel tired at all when i finished, just thirsty. What is your opinoin?
That is definitely a long, long distance for one day. And the fact that you are just feeling thirsty means that you should do this professionally maybe even go to the “Tour De France” or something
Averaging 8mph then, that’s kinda slow for a bike.
Need to know the time without breaks to really be able to determine.
I believe you are doing more than just fine.
Someday you may like to be professional cyclist
it;s slow but still a pretty long distance
you don;t say how long the breaks were
13mph on a mtb would be pretty good
even 12
8 isn;t really
you might want to check your speedometer, see if it;s set for the right wheel size
