Question

How long does it take you to bike 70 miles?

Answer 1

depending on the bike it could probably range from 3 and a 1/2 to 5 hours on a road bike depending on the speed your going and one a mountain bike it would take a little longer and probably even longer on a single speed bmx

Answer 2

At what speed:

At 20 mph... 3 1/2 hrs

At 15 mph... 4 2/3 hrs

and if you can maintain an average of 10 mph....7 hrs.

Answer 3

I have a route that's about 74 miles that I ride pretty regularly. It has a few big hills and takes about 4 hours 15 min.

Answer 4

It took me like 5 hours to bike 60 miles from San Jose to San Francisco (California) on a road bike; i was an average teenager/adult at the time and a bit overweight. probably would take me 4-5 hours NOW for 70 miles.

In the end i was tired and my rear wheel was WAY out of true because two spokes broke. I had to replace the wheel because of rim damage. Also my butt felt like a rock at the end - but the padded shorts helped.

If i were to do it again, i'd probably need to use more durable wheels; and also fix my seat for comfort A LOT MORE!

Answer 5

it really depends on where you are biking, because my dad and i have made a 50 mile trip in about 4 hours, not including stops, but it was completely flat the whole way on a highway sort of thing. If it is the same sort of circumstances and your going with tailwind, i would say about 6 hours, but it really depends on the hills involved, because one large hill could slow your time very much and take out a lot of energy, and also check the weather reports to see which way the wind will be blowing because riding with or against the wind is a huge determining time factor.

good luck and hope this helped

p.s. make sure you have a good road bike with a great seat because sitting on a crappy seat can get really painful after a few hours

Answer 6

On my usual roads and usual weather (no too windy), about 3.5 hours unless I'm close to a race. Then it's more like 3 hours.
