My first 60 miler....yeah baby

[firemansimon]

Hi everyone

Just thought I'd let you know done my first non stop 60 miler today in 3 hours 43 with an average speed of 16.6.

Thanks to my new Fulcrum 5's with electric blue coloured Pro3 tyres.

Looking good to complete my first non stop 100 miler within my first 6 months of cycling

Thanks
Simon

Sorry yep it was just under 62 miles

I only make it 16.1mph, thats still a good speed for a nonstop 60miler or it was nearer 62 miles well done

Nice one well done. Roll on your 1st 100 miler :-)

DAMN! People actually ride 100 miles non stop!!!!

Well done - no easy task riding 60 miles non stop - get the fueling right and you'll be fine !

Thanks for the support,

I ate half an energy bar thing at 25 miles and the other half at 30, then another half of one at 40 and again at 45 then a gel at 50 and sipping water all the time. I think I got it right, last 8 was mostly up hill and head wind but really enjoyed it.

next year maybe a race!!!

62 miles - call it 100Km, non cyclists will be even more impressed. Well Done.

Yes we do . In my view once you can manage 50 then it's just about getting enough fuel and water on board and learning the joys of Sudocrem.

60 miles.
In my book you deserve a full brekky with a latte.Then a tea stop for a scone and jam.

Keep it up .Well done.

a metric century non stop, bloody well done. I'm envious but it occurs I've never chosen to do one non stop, too much of a tourist to resist new tea shops!

 

[firemansimon]

100k Thats what i'll tell everyone until the 100m

 

[Riverman]

Well done!

What did you do it on btw?

Don't say a bike!
