Longest fixed ride

[apb]

On the weekend i did a 38 mile cycle on my fixed. there was a head wind on the way back but the terrain is quite flat, so not a very hard cycle. This is my longest fixed cycle to date. I'm hoping to do a 70 - 100 mile fixed next summer. I tend to go as fast as i possibly can and I was feeling pretty sore afterwards. I don't wear cycling specific clothing, which would probably help with that.

What's the longest fixed ride you have done?

38 miles sounds like an excellent effort looking at that picture of your bike.

Mine would be something similar in terms of distance.

IIRC my longest fix ride was in the region of 60+miles but I think it'd be tempting fate to take the Viking (my fixie) further than that.
Just checked 65.6miles back in February, hadn't realised I'd been fixed since then.

65 miles. Which was made up of 15 + 35 + 15 .................................. One after the other.............................not days apart........................if you see what I mean.

124 miles earlier this year on the Suffolk swarm sportive. Most of my riding this year has been on my fixed (3661 miles) out of my current yearly total of 4094.

I've done about 67 miles and 14.5 mph rolling average on 69", though I did have a nice sit down in the middle and was wearing my sexiest lycra.

There are some audaxers who have done some horrific numbers of miles fixed.

Good effort. I've done a couple of 30milers and did 43 at the weekend on fixed.
Done a few century rides on gears though.

About 60 miles Kingussie - Grantown and back. Last 10 or so on the old back road into the wind were a bit unpleasant, relieved only by cake at Inshriach

1231 miles from Porto to London in September. Well, over 14 days but there were a few individual centuries in there. The Spanish hills on a loaded fixed gear are quite a struggle.

Respect!

I've done quite a few metric centuries but haven't got round to a 100-miler. Only because I don't do organised events on the fixed, and I've never planned a 100-miler as a solo ride.

Chapeau!

Several metric centuries and one imperial so far. The most recent metric century was far, far, harder than the imperial one.

Respect!

@will965 What gearing were you on ?

 

[ColinJ]

0.0 miles horizontally and about 0.002 miles vertically! (I was spinning away on a fixed gear gym bike which had a 25-30 kg flywheel, when I suddenly stopped pedalling ... )
