Awesome effort Carl, I'm in awe of anyone who can do a 100.
BTW if that's Bombay Sapphire that you're throwing away please parcel it up and send this way:cheers:

I did a 100 miles sportive a few years ago. Fell off around the 50 mile mark and hurt myself (bruised ribs/shoulder) and rode the rest of the way back, but had to walk up steep hills cos I couldn't hold onto the bike and power up using arms/shoulders due to pain...

Have done a few 85-90 mile days on a fully loaded tourer, so that's way more harder than doing 100 miles on a carbon fibre crotch rocket.....:whistle:

Its a mental thing isnt it. I pulled this out of the bag , fully loaded with camping gear when I realised I might miss the ferry. http://www.bikeroutetoaster.com/Course.aspx?course=263688

On tour you get in a stride, had a couple of near centuries before that one for no other reason than it was just a great place to cycle.
