94 miles last April when I did the Northern Jersey handover to Arch.

Would like to try again and get the actual 100 mile barrier broken this year if I can, but my fitness is a bit crap at the moment and my weight has shot up since I last tried the 100 so it'll have to be later in the year if I manage to get into better shape.

Can't believe some of the mileages quoted here though ... some of you lot are bloody fit and fast ... those totals seem to equate to all-day 20mph+ averages, wow!!!

Cheers,
Shaun

that's what they'd like you to think but it's actually bollocks

About 150 or so. Longest in a race was about 115.
That hurt.

152. That was on the 2008 Dunwich Dynamo so if you are being pedantic that would count as 2 days. Otherwise 114 in France in 2006.

101... on a mtb, taking my time, stopping for lunch, to take photos, etc... Took me all day, and was very pleasant. Last summer, it was. Hoping to do 100 on the roadie in a couple of weeks' time, with a friend, as practice for the Northern Rock Cyclone in June, which will also be 100. So by then I'll have done 3 100 milers...whoopee for me!

Done a few 100-115milers now with the camping gear (last one was Saturday). I'd like to do the 165 mile run up to my folks in the next few weeks for the hell of it, hoping if I can do 115 with all the kit then it shouldn't be too much of a stretch. I am very slow tho, must average 10-12mph.

106.15 miles on Friday 10/04/09 was the night ride to Southend from HPC leaving at midnight, cycled back to London Waterloo, with much help and encouragement from friends. The average speed was 12.48mph but that was riding time only. Lots of stops etc, some planned, some due to my right knee trying to give way.

I'd say 10 hours riding time would be about as much as I'd want to do, or enjoy, at present. I need to rest/refresh after about 30 miles so 120 would be looking at 12 hours all in. I think that would be plenty for me at present.

What I want to do is keep improving my speed and fitness so that I can cruise/amble at a better rate. Though I could just about keep up with a medium paced ride(15mph) I wouldn't get to smell the flowers much right now

Well done on your century Helen

 

[Auntie Helen]

Yes, well done Helen. That's two Centurion Helens in a week

 

[Brains]

I've done several 70+ mile days, often on a a fully loaded tourer with flat bars.
Perhaps I should try for a century. Dunwich dynamo sounds interesting ....

 

[HelenD123]

Thanks both. I'm still not sure how I managed it!

 

[Aperitif]

Yes, well done Helen. That's two Centurion Helens in a week

Only need one more and we would have a Helen of Trois...

Well enjoyed everyone!
