How often do you ride?

I ride about every 2 weeks until the winter, and was wondering how much everyone else here rides?

I try to ride my wife and my dirt bikes all the time. I prefer not to ride my riding lawn mower. But my wife insists that I ride the riding lawn mower or else I will not be able to ride my wife and my dirt bikes. Life's a bitch.

I'm lucky if I get to ride once a month now. Family and bills slowed things way down. Before though, I was riding twice a week and racing on Sunday. I miss those days, but I love my family more lol

Not nearly as much as im able to. My bike is tired and needs some engine rebuilding. Id say atleast once a week at this point, used to ride atleast 3 times a week

One a week or fortnight currently. Time poor at the moment. Hope to fix that this year though and get back to 2-3 times a week.

I rode 50h in 2016. I was hoping to ride a bit more but a late season knee problem stopped me from that.

My goal is to ride 2 times per week during the season (march - october, not a fan of riding in the winter) but I usually only ride once per week. With 3 kids, a house, a full time job and a wife to entertain it´s though! .. =)

If I had a track locally, or some property I would ride every week. With a 2 hour trip each way to/from the track, it's more like once a month that from April till November

Normally once a week, right now I can't, I'm taking blood thinners!

Once a week regardless of weather, I live in England so you can't be fussy about rain n mud or you'd never ride, plus it's good for the skills

I'd like to ride more but in long term job but when I am back on contracts again soon I will do 2-3 a week braaaaap

I shoot for every weekend, If I have to work a weekend I'll get to sneak out twice during the week which is sweet!

I dont have a track worth riding within 2.5 hours so its about once a month, maybe twice on a good month.

Once a week usually. But I've been snowboarding the past few weekends. So I haven't rode in about 4 weeks now. Going riding Saturday!

Well last year I was riding almost everyday during the summer/spring. And 1-3 times during the winter but now I'm in college so don't ride nearly as much. But it'll pick back up in the spring

I haven't ridden in 10 yrs. Back when I used to ride, I would ride almost every weekend year round (on average, probably 3 out of 4 weekends a month). Occassionally rode both Saturday and Sunday. I never had the ability to ride during the week. I was always jealous of people who could do that.

Usually once a week, and in the summer twice a week. No riding from mid-november to mid-februari usually, because the tracks here are either closed, soaking wet or frozen.

When I had a track in my back yard, literally, I rode every single day.

Now, my closest track is like an hour away so .......not very often

Try to get out 3 times a month on the weekend, sometimes I'll do Saturday and Sunday. Currently recovering from a knee injury. Plus gotta give the wife a weekend here and there.

I might have rode MX 25-50 hours last year. I put in more than 10k hours on my crf50 though, total estimate on hours but damn; my boss had some property nearby the shop and a big old Ford farm tractor with a bucket. I quit my job to build that track and ride it all day every day.

The ground ended up freezing and I had to move to a different part of the state for work, I hope to ride the big bikes a lot more this year; I think a lot of it will have to be offroad as the deep west moto scene is not the greatest

I have done 50 hours a year for the last 2 years. So that works out around every other week in the summer months, then slow it down from November-march.

Wish I could ride a lot more, I see some of the guys I race with practicing every week through the year, it's frustrating I cant seem to progress much but it is how it is a suppose. Still after buying a house, and been young in the U.K. I'm grateful to be riding at all.

I got out to the track about 30 times last year. Shooting for 50 track days in 2017.

I spend a good amount of time road cycling, mountain biking, and riding my sport bike (YZF600R).

If I could ride the track 2x/week I would probably quit all of my other hobbies... Adulting sucks sometimes. :-(

Ugh . . . between finances and time, I'm lucky if I get to ride three times a month. Drives me nuts but, hey, gotta
pay the bills.
