200 miles coming up soon - wish me luckMy longest ride to date is 124 miles which I completed 18 months ago. If I can get fit enough again I am going to attempt 150 miles this year.
So what is your longest ride and have you got plans to beat it.
Good luck. Let us know how you get on200 miles coming up soon - wish me luck
Still easy-peasy with CycleChat's answer to David Nixon...it'll be a magical ride.Nope.. not with him.... with @Trickedem .
Change your attire. With trousers like that, you'll always end up dog-tired. For your 200k, I suggest Speedos.Dunno, but it's somewhere between 100 miles and 200k. My legs normally fail at or around 100miles, and I've never gone more than 100 miles plus ride to the nearest station.
I have a 200k lined up soon which will set a high water mark.
It took me several years to build up to that distance - well done for managing that in just one winter/early spring!66 miles for me (but I have only been riding six months )
Kudos to you big milers
Yeah, it's not PBP that worries me, it's qualifying. I missed 2 x 200km and now it's difficult to meet that requirement. My mum chose a bad time to die.You will if you want to - and take it from me, LEL is, weather aside, considerably tougher than PBP
Good on you, Andy. I read about your other challenges elsewhere on the forum and that's good going. With compliant cycling friends and good weather, you'll be surprised how your 'distances' can escalate!69 miles last year after owning the bike only 4 weeks. I was in very good shape, hitting gym a lot as well as eating a very good diet.
I have slipped a bit, added 1 stone in weight and not out as much. Although, I did manage 62 miles in February with a chest infection and against Dr's orders.
How true. Good company on a ride and the miles just build up and before you know it it's cake break time and you've done 50 odd miles. I also find that my average speed goes up to as your not constantly looking at your cycle computer.Good on you, Andy. I read about your other challenges elsewhere on the forum and that's good going.
