Stats Again -- Which Days? Riding What?

Have Charts -- Will Publish. 

Early in 2011, I made a commitment to myself to do Irregular rides on Saturdays,
And do the bulk of my rando rides on Sundays.


Q.:  How did that turn out?


Research (researching my own Excel ride log -- is that research?):

Automatically generated chart from my 2011 Excel log:

All rides		# rides	miles	Hours	mph	m. / r.
Saturday		44	4,257.1	280.4	15.2	96.8
Sunday		36	3,014.3	205.1	14.7	83.7
Monday		3	308.4	20.9	14.8	102.8
Tuesday		5	351.3	23.5	15.0	70.3
Wednesday		6	492.9	33.5	14.7	82.2
Thursday		7	469.3	30.7	15.3	67.0
Friday		12	311.5	20.3	15.3	26.0
Total		113	9,204.8	614.3	15.0	81.5

A little raz-mattaz in the 2011 log, and:

rando rides		# rides	miles	Hours	mph	m. / r.
Saturday		12	1,805.0	122.0	14.8	150.4
Sunday		21	2,291.3	156.0	14.7	109.1
Monday		2	219.7	14.7	15.0	109.9
Tuesday		3	319.3	21.3	15.0	106.4
Wednesday		3	380.8	25.9	14.7	126.9
Thursday		2	254.0	16.4	15.5	127.0
Friday		0	0.0	0.0	0.0	0.0
Total		43	5,270.1	356.2	14.8	122.6

Hmmn.  Seems like quite a few rando rides were on Saturdays.
A little "research" revealed:

• 4 of the Saturday rando rides were in January (there was one (1) IR Saturday ride in January -- and it snowed on us!);
• 3 rando Saturday rides were brevets -- all "Raleigh" brevets were scheduled for Saturdays;
• 2 rando Saturdays were permanents with and during Ricochet's "training for PBP time-frame";
• 1 rando Saturday was a December "Ricochet production" (Robert doesn't usually ride on Sundays);
• 1 rando Saturday was a "Biker Bob production" (Bob rarely rides on Sundays);
• leaving 1 rando Saturday that was a "Martin production".

I conclude that I did almost no "optional" rando Saturdays.

Looking at "strictly-construed" Irregular rides:

Irregulars		# rides	miles	Hours	mph	m. / r.
Saturday		30	2,274.3	146.1	15.6	75.8
Sunday		0	0.0	0.0	0.0	0.0
Monday		0	0.0	0.0	0.0	0.0
Tuesday		0	0.0	0.0	0.0	0.0
Wednesday		0	0.0	0.0	0.0	0.0
Thursday		1	40.7	2.5	16.1	40.7
Friday		1	75.2	4.8	15.5	75.2
Total		32	2,390.2	153.4	15.6	74.7

The lone Thursday was on Thanksgiving Day.
The lone Friday was the day after Thanksgiving Day.

Sometimes, a "not-strictly-construed" Irregulars ride is put together.  For arcane historical reasons, I have referred to those as "LT group" rides (even though LT is sometimes not in the group).

LT groups		# rides	miles	Hours	mph	m. / r.
Saturday		0	0.0	0.0	0.0	0.0
Sunday		4	186.0	12.1	15.4	46.5
Monday		0	0.0	0.0	0.0	0.0
Tuesday		0	0.0	0.0	0.0	0.0
Wednesday		1	51.2	3.3	15.3	51.2
Thursday		1	59.6	4.0	14.9	59.6
Friday		1	78.0	5.0	15.6	78.0
Total		7	374.8	24.5	15.3	53.5

So ... "broadly-defined" Irregular rides would be: 

IR  +  LT grps		# rides	miles	Hours	mph	m. / r.
Saturday		30	2,274.3	146.1	15.6	75.8
Sunday		4	186.0	12.1	15.4	46.5
Monday		0	0.0	0.0	0.0	0.0
Tuesday		0	0.0	0.0	0.0	0.0
Wednesday		1	51.2	3.3	15.3	51.2
Thursday		2	100.3	6.5	15.4	50.2
Friday		2	153.2	9.8	15.6	76.6
Total		39	2,765.0	177.9	15.5	70.9

Conclusion:
I stuck to my commitment to myself, and, although they didn't know it, to the Irregulars.
Irregulars on Saturdays.
Rando on Sundays.
The "Saturday-exceptions" were almost-entirely brevets and invites from other randos (that typically do not ride on Sundays).

(Believe it or not, I chose to NOT publish the chart of the non-rando / non-IR rides by day of the week.)
