What's the greatest distance you have cycled in 1 day?

[albal]

209 mile. The Tommy Godwin challenge marking the 75th anniversary of his ride.; 100,000 in 500 days. Doddle,!

In recent memory this one stands out at 140 miles, but it was a hilly one, took in the Hirnant Pass for those of you who might know it.
I was running on empty on the way back and called into Eureka Cafe for a fry up The arrow markers are wind directions, you can see I got no tailwind on the way out (0 mph wind), but a headwind on the way home, just typical.

Ooh, that looks like a nice route, might have to yoink it

167 Kms. Nickyboy's ride, Manchester to Llandudno in May 2019. I was ready for my Fish'n Chips I can tell you.

Wouldn't it have been great if you'd gone from Redhill to Yellowstone to Greendale to Browney to Blue Town to Pinkney to Blackburn. Although to do it properly you'd have to have travelled between Redhill and Blackburn 15 times and then keep returning to Redhill before each of the other towns, would have taken farking weeks.

Iv'e only just caught on what you are on about. It must be the heat slowing me down.

What a great memento Jon.
I was born in that year

 

[nickyboy]

120 miles Llandudno to Glossop.

This was the day after 101 miles Manchester to Llandudno and about 8 pints that evening...so it was a bit of a struggle

 

[fatjel]

207 miles is the most in one day . It took 17 hours and was in Kent so reasonably flat.

@ianrauk You were born in 1878 !!!

Oh, just checked. Nine days after my birthday. That detail had escaped memory . . .

 

[Noblester]

96 miles from North London to our holiday destination in the New Forest. Really enjoyed it. (cycled up and down a bit until I reached 100 miles)

 

[cambsno]

48 miles - which I was impressed with! Previously had done 36 miles and before that about 20 miles so a decent increase, although the headwind coupled with painful top of thighs meant the last few miles were tough (hybrid bike so not aerodynamic!)

 

[Edwardoka]

151 miles or thereabouts. It's 142 miles from where I stay to Campbeltown, but the main road between Dumbarton and Helensburgh was shut so my detour up the A82 before cutting back across to Helensburgh added a fair few miles.

 

[Juan Kog]

200 miles ,over 20 years ago when I was a mile muncher . It was from my then home near Watford to Spalding Lincolnshire and return So mostly flat with a lumpy start and finish. I do remember when I told a club mate a keen audax rider about this ride. His reaction was total bewilderment and a cry of why. Which puzzled me , I then realised his view was if it wasn't an organised event with some kind of official recognition at the end ,it didn't count and wasn't worth doing.
