How many miles have you done in one day?

[Shaun]

96 miles whilst trying for my maiden 100 - knee blew up and didn't want to damage it by carrying on!!

Well done to the other high milers, and I wonder how Bob will do with a road bike sans trailer?

I couldn't really think about another 100 right now as I'm heavier and less fit, but it's definitely on the to-do list ...

Cheers,
Shaun

Wembley to Southampton July 1982 as the annual Harrow and Wembley YHA group all night ride. Just short of 100 I think.

I've never managed an audax 600 within 24hrs (the minimum time is 20hrs, max is 40hrs). I've managed several 400s (250 miles), the best being 17hr15mins. However racing is a different matter and I was rather chuffed to get 412 miles in my first 24hr time trial three years ago. Question is can I improve on that this year.

Of course it depends whether you define a day as 24hrs or just hours of daylight.

Hi Ian. Like you Im not keen on them 600km audax though done plenty of 400km audax over the years in 18 hours. I'm going to be combining both this year. Audax and TT with the Mersey Roads 24 hour TT. I've only been wanting to do it for about 4 years. Plan is the usual. Just build up too and do a 400km audax event a few week prior to the Mersey Roads 24

Though Im a little worried now with your 412 miles / 663 km in 24 hours lol.

Was it the Mersey Roads you did ?

A few years ago on a ridgback mx2, quite a nice bike, one of my best bikes so far, I took it through hell and back never had to change any parts.

Anyway on one of my trips to the peak district following Highpeak trail and Tissington trail, I clocked a whopping 120 miles according to my GPS. I just wondered if this was a good distance....

Oh I had a trailer too with pro camera gear in it the trailer was a carry freedom city.

I did around 80-90 miles on most of my trips, is this good going? not done that for a while though usually only around 100 miles a week lol, bit of a drop

120 miles on an mtb, on High Peak trails, pulling a trailer
You should be able to double that on a road bike on tarmac!

163miles is the furthest I've cycled in a day. I haven't attempted further and have no intention to!

127 miles last November, C2C from Morecambe to Robin Hood's Bay.

Yup, Mersey Roads. But if you want to worry about other riders' distances, Andy Wilkinson broke his own record last year with 541 miles. Now that really is a serious target.

Some serious distances on here...Chapeau!

Mine was 122 miles (197 km) on the Ronde de Picardie sportive in 2001. Many imperial century rides/Sportives, but not for a few years. Must have a go again.

Yes, that's some serious distance on a MTB.

I haven't done anything like the huge distances some people are talking about here. My longest ride so far was 50 miles last summer. I had to cut my mileage back for a bit, but I'm now back to doing that kind of distance once a week.

I'm aiming to do my first 100 miles this year.

I think I'd have to have a little cry after that too!

242 miles last June. Couldn't be bothered to do an 8 miles loop once I'd got home.

This year will see some long rides though. London - York followed by the FNRttC to Hull should take me into the 270 - 300 mile category. I'm also planning to do a 600km (375miles) audax and will probably do 24 hours before sleep so will see how far I get.

Approx. 240 miles on the Dunwich Dynamo last year. I was expecting to do 240 riding to the start, out and back and was happy to bail when we reached 240 miles about twenty miles short of home. I was feeling good but my riding companion was starting to feel a little less than sharp just as we approached the outskirts of London, at which point there was a light shower and the standard of driving plummeted. After helping the driver and passenger of an upturned BMW out of a ditch we decided to make our way to the nearest train station.
