How many miles have you done in one day?

100 Miles? On a BROMPTON??? Braver man than me!

A friend of mine managed to ride the Dun Run on his 2 speed Brompton. It took a while!

A friend of mine managed to ride the Dun Run on his 2 speed Brompton. It took a while!

I cycled part of the way this year with somone who had hired one. We were toodling along chatting about this and that, when I mentioned it was a bit restricting only haveing 6 gears, that's when he mentioned it only had 2! :-(

The he dropped me on the hill! What was worse , I was on the Voyage!!! :-(

140, cheshire cycleway ride…

 

[Old Plodder]

Used to do regular 90+ mile rides with my bunch in the summer, occasionally doing 100+.
Highest mileage with them was 140. Older & less fit now, but like 'admin/shaun' hoping to be able to clock another 100 miler, soon.

Most I've done in one day was about 30 miles, from Wickersley to Kirk Sandal railway station, via Doncaster's Cooplands and Caffe Nero. Distance was measured using an OS map and a piece of paper.

Hopefully I'll do more one day, but only when I'm feeling up to it.

a well spread out, but still within the same 24hrs, same kit and without sleep, was a night ride and return totalling 167 miles...very weary at end but never been sure if that was the riding or the interminable Davy toilet breaks Nah Teef and Davy were great and it was an interesting experience....still not sure if I want to go further, or as far, again.

also done a few rides from 90ish to 140ish miles - but even with the flesh willing I don't know if I have the mental tolerance/inclination to aim for a 250 or 300 in a day. I don't doubt I can do it just not sure I want to put myself through it. Still, never say never, as circumstances and fitness levels alter I may feel differently.

Longest so far 125miles. Got a 157mile sportive this summer.

159 miles to Holyhead. Then a bit of cheating, I caught the ferry over to Dublin. From there down to Ennis, Co. Clare.
Two seperate calendar days, but from start to finish was all done within 24 hours, in the one go. Going over on holiday at the time.

Some serious ridering on here...my best was 25 miles on the trans penine last summer....I've been trying to keep some sort of form on a static bike over the winter but it's not like the real thing (no hills in my bedroom). Been out twice this week for the first rides of 2012 both were 12 miles on the new bike...if the weather holds I'm hoping to increase this by a good few miles this weekend.....got the bug now though.

This isn't a competition. Don't be put off by figures people are posting. The only person you have to beat is yourself. You can do that in your own time.

Just check those bug bites!
