How many miles have you done in one day?

[Terry Kay]

Did my longest ride so far at 11 miles on Friday - enjoyable ride up the Tissington trail from Ashbourne with the lad on his bike on a tow bar behind... Was half way back before I realised the reason he was tipped over was the bolts at the front of his bike wanted tightening, poor lad..

Just enjoy the ride!

Well, 50 miles are my longest. Thamesmead to Harrow (London) and back.

Most I've done is just over 100. Baldock to Hunstanton, then back to Kings Lynn for a train home. The last 10 miles were really quite hard. But not as hard as the 15 or so the following day...
If you're trying to build up the miles, it's best to do it gradually.
It's meant to be fun, after all

The most I have so far managed in one day is 79.7 miles on a little journey from dartford to whitstable on my day off, just because I had never been there before I hope to improve on that when I pluck up the courage to sign up and go out with the FNRTTC crowd

Eek!! FNRttC is hardcore.
Do it once and you're a hero, do it twice and you're a lunatic. IMHO.
I don't cope well with a sleep deficit, but Chapeau!! to those who can.

173.2 miles, last September on the afternoon before/night of/morning after the Martlets FNRttC: Portsmouth-Hyde Park Corner- Brighton-Littlehampton (where I abandoned my attempt to get home by bike and make the 200 on account of a relentless headwind). There will be a 200 at least once this year...

I like to push myself, but I actually enjoy the epic rides as well....

Long, long ago, when bicycles were a new invention, some people in Italy decided on achievable distances, dawn to dusk, for cycling, swimming, and walking. Cycling was set at 200km, 125 miles, and thus audax/randonneur riding was born.

For me it has to be about 120 miles in just over 6 hours ! 10 miles to the Manchester 100, then the event, and 10 miles home !

117miles (should have been about 85, but I got lost!)

Well done to all of you I find the 4 miles a day I do at the moment to be enough of a struggle let alone the tens of you lot manage.

No, you didn't. You were subconsciously looking for extra miles
