I found it mentally harder than anything just cause of the number of hours in the saddle and didnt know the route at all. Great way to surprise friends who are expecting you to turn up in a car though!![]()
did lejog in 10 days average 104 miles per day went out to ardnamurchin point which is furthest west point in GB intended to do futhest east but was a bit damp by jogOver The Hill said:Most I have done is 100miles (Norwich last year). Working up to Lejog but starting with London - Paris (should be 3 x 75 miles).
Having done 100 I can just about see it possible to do 150 in a day. BUT problem is you are then getting back on the bike the next day and doing it again (x6 days).
Looking at the London - Paris training we were thinking of doing it in pairs of rides - say 40 on a Saturday and then another 40 on sunday and building up that way. I think it is the getting back on that will be an issue to overcome.
That's only 18% outside world record time, isn't it?fenman said:245 miles in 12hrs in northants &dist 12hr event went off malt bread for weeks after that !!
