Usually I do around 300/400Km in a week,sometimes more,sometimes less.The maximum I've done was 581Km in a week.
Now it's around 300k/week. And I average 1000k/month over the year.
Not bad for a mountainbiker I guess
90% is on road though

Well posting the question made me curious too. My new bike is about 22 weeks old (I've looked it up) and has almost 9000 kilometers. Thats an avarage of about 400 kilometers a week. I must admit however this is the first year I started training this serious. I hope I can keep on training like this 'cause I've improved very much this year
Hard and correct training is the only way to good results

A few years ago I clocked up nearly 41,000km, with my biggest week being 1092km (I was just too stuffed to go out and do the extra 8km!).
Now I'm only about 150km/week (but with the cold I have at the moment I'll be doing about 20km this week)

Success is how far you you bounce back up after being knocked down

I don't ride a lot of miles (just a little over 100 KM a week usually) but I do work hard
My ride from last friday (@ Kopje van Bloemendaal)

Zooming in at the most intensive part of today's workout.

41000 a year? You did't have to work back then I suppose

Although I do some training on road for off road events, it only accounts for 50% of my weekly distance. Currently at 150-200km/week, working up to 200-250km for an event in October.
At the height of the MTB Enduro season in the UK last summer I did 5 semi-competitive off-road events, averaging 75 miles each in a period of 3 weeks (with about 8000m of climbing). Not quite the same as the massive and impressive distances you road guys get up to, but it was was about as much as my body would manage at the time.
