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

[roubaixtuesday]

I've done maybe half a dozen in the 120-130 mile range, never further. I find enjoyment rapidly tails off beyond 100, and I am in awe of anyone doing 200 or more, way beyond my mental capabilities.

300 miles

How long were you cycling for to cover such a massive distance?

412 miles in the 2009 National 24.

How long were you cycling for to cover such a massive distance?

How long were you cycling for to cover such a massive distance?

I think the clue is in the name of the event

100 miles, Glasgow-Gourock-Dunoon-Glasgow, but that was a good few years ago. Most this year is 57 miles.

The velomobile record is 757 miles in a day.

199 miles. I did it as a student many moons ago, we thought it would be funny to stop just short of 200. I kind of regret it now as I don’t think I have been above 150 miles since.

199.6. Did the Lakes and Dales loop in one day. Officially 196 miles, but a few wrong turns added to the distance.

I got more people on Strava asking why I didn't keep riding for a few minutes to get to the 200 mile mark, as opposed to asking about the ride.

And as I typed this the poster above made a similar comment. Kudos.

138 miles in my one and only audax to date.
A very hilly route across the troughs and peaks of Kent and Sussex. The route was borne of the mind of one of our former members.

My best is circa 105 in one ride. My mate did 527 miles in a 24 hr and 312 miles in a 12 hours. He is a bit different to most though.

For me never that far as there's plenty of uphill stuff here, yesterday was 180km but with 3,000m of climbing in there, nothing flatter exists here target is a 200km/5,000m ride

Must be, that’s pretty close to the current men’s records on uprights.

i'm in awe of people that do these distances solo all my ultra endurance events have been mass participation events, i lose the will and generally mojo over 70-80 miles solo

mind you i will in the next few days be cycling coast to coast across France in a group but very much solo

August 8th, 1990. Until now I hadn't noticed the anniversary has just slipped by. My Cateye Vectra stopped on 202.08 miles, but of course I don't know how accurate my calibration was. At the end I had to do a couple of laps of the Clifton Downs in Bristol to click up the extra digits, which is one of the reasons I can never know exactly what I did. I suspect it was really 199.99 miles.

Under modern conditions with GPS recording, 153.56 miles.
