Longest distance in one day?

[Kablinsky]

I'm planning to do some 100m rides next year. Was just wondering how far people have ridden in one day. Mine (at the moment) is a paltry 73 miles. It was supposed to be longer but I'd messed about with the saddle position the night before and couldn't take the pain. A very harsh lesson learnt.

140 miles, touring bike with four laden panniers and a bar bag. I was a much younger cyclist then mind you.

 

[beancounter]

125 miles, stage 6 (of 9) of my 1991 lejog.

All day into a headwind - pure evil.

I've signed up for 180 miles in 24hrs next year. That's what happens when you're left alone with a bottle of wine and an internet connection.

Marko Baloh (of Slovenia) cycled 553 miles in 24 hours! Yes, that was a world record - not sure if it still stands today.

Oh yeah, I've done the Norwich 100 (miles) for the last 2 years - it's a long way!

Ahhh yes, the dreaded combination. Where does one sign up for that? I was thinking of opening a bottle of Le Mura this evening and having a surf.

150 miles - Dunwich Dynamo (London to Dunwich) and then home. Extra points for doing it at night

 

[Tim Bennet.]

485 kms is the furthest.

 

[Baggy]

Longest was a New Forest Audax in 2006 - 130.78 miles. Was glad to finish but felt more or less ok (until my midge bites started emerging...)

Longest this year has been a feeble 60 something

 

[yello]

270km. I road to the start of a 200km audax and then back home again. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

 

[palinurus]

I rarely do much over 100 miles in a day.

La Mura! Are you sure you're from Essex?! This is the chap what I have let myself in for.

 

[Rob S]

336.2 miles from Plymouth to Ledbury and back one silly Saturday in 1994.

 

[Rhythm Thief]

About 150 miles, from Penkridge near Stafford to the Lincolshire coast one late December evening. I didn't set off until 1pm or so and got there 12 hours later and had to pitch my tent in the dark.
My furthest this year is, er, 40. Although I did do that two days in a row.
