About 100 miles. Like most clubmen of the 70s, I was riding winter on fixed. I remember doing Stafford to Castleton and back to watch the national hill climb on Winnats Pass in 1977 and a couple of reliability trials - Newcastle (on Lyme) to Llangollen and back, Cannock to Montgomery and back. IIRC I favoured 48x21 gearing which is about 61"

York to Beverley to somewher near to Pocklington*.I know it as EverythinghurtsVille
Not a clue how many miles it was.It was soon after I acquired my Langster.
* a place now known to my riding companions;MSeries & Deano; & subsequently others as WVMC (WhiteVanManCorner) because this is where I gave up & accepted a lift back to York from a man driving a white Mercedes sprinter
He actually stopped because he reckoned I looked distressed & in need of assistance as I lay by the side of the road.
Other than that I've done a couple of audax 100km events a couple of 100km+ a bit leisure rides.
I regret selling my Langster & hope to replace it if circumstances improve in the future.
Nothing inproved my fitness so quickly & efficiently as riding fixed
