Never done a 100 miler on the hybrid but did just shy of 50 miles with ice tyres before the chain snapped and had to be rescued. Pretty sure I've done a few 100km on the hybrid.
My first 100 miler on the Hawk (knockabout bike) was done on Schwalbe Snow Studs. I won't be doing that again in a hurry. :heat: :crazy:

I didnt intend to, but ended up doing 73.7 miles on my Ridgeback flight 01.

My only issue was that after about 40 miles I decided i needed some Ergo Grips to replace my OEMgrops.

I've ridden 65 miles along the LF1 in Holland on a Dawes 501 with 10kg in the panniers twice. I've done the same route on a road bike twice with the same load. There wasn't much of a difference. The wind was straight in my face on all the trips.

I have a Specialised Sirrus comp disc (the one in the profile photo)

Longest ride 102 km on the 1st May, have done many 80k Sportives and general rides was thinking of chopping it in for a CF synapse but then I enjoy riding it and while all the roadies sale past me I can enjoy the countryside.

Much as I dislike the lazy term "hybrid", both my main bikes fit the broad category (and one is a Raleigh Pioneer, the model that started the trend)
I rather worry regarding the suggestion that I might have been involved in starting a trend but I completed a LEJOG on one of these in 1997, and very comfortable it was throughout, and it's still in regular use:smile:.

This is my ride at the end of 120miles (first century). Done quite a few 100km rides on it too.

Not quite a hybrid, but flat bars, so I think it counts.

52 miles with a long rest at halfway. I felt quite tired afterwards, but no aches or pains. I was using a hardtail MTB before getting the hybrid and found much shorter rides hard going.
