That is over 17mph

Really enjoyed this 200km Audax with @Heltor Chasca - he has gone way beyond since but it is my longest to date. I may be able to do something similar this winter. https://www.strava.com/activities/1627826968

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

Here are the lists of records over the years: https://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/articles/view/129#24hr

 

[Paulus]

147

Same here, 147.
It was the London to Oxford ride.
I rode from Barnet to Richmond where the start was. Out to Oxford and then home via Thame , Haddenham, over the Chilton hills and back home. A grand day out.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

128 miles (200km ride plus 3 miles home from the train ride home!).

Satisfying as it was in hindsight, I remember being dropped repeatedly by @13 rider over what could only be described as speed bumps towards the end. That was after @Supersuperleeds persuading me the cafe was just around the corner for 10 miles.....

It was just around the corner, eventually

 

[Gravity Aided]

100 miles, just to say I could do it. If the foot problems ever cease, I may try it again. I have a lot of fun on tour and longer rides.

 

[GuyBoden]

200+ miles from Warrington to South Wales in a day (summer) when I was younger and much fitter. I've done plenty of 100+ mile rides since, but I'm too old for very long rides.

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.

A bit over 200miles a couple of years ago, nowhere near fit enough to do that again. About half that was solo and half was the CC Manchester to Llandudno ride.

 

[kenmiles]

330km, 205 miles.
From Greenhead in Cumbria to Wallsend to compete in Wheels along the Wall which was a ride from Wallsend to Carlisle Castle following the route of Hadrian's Wall, returning to Wallsend along the A69, this was a charity ride organised by Wallsend Council, then back home to Greenhead.
I did this in the 80's about three times. They even gave us a medal for completing it. Great times.

 

[Noodle Legs]

129.6 miles riding from Leicester to York last september to watch the UCI world championships with @tallliman, @Supersuperleeds and @13 rider.
2 weeks previous I’d done 129.3 going to Lincoln and back.

Mine is an annual ride my club used to run from Lancashire >Cheshire >Wirral >Liverpool >Home

 

[Flakey]

120 Dalkeith to Blair Atholl - overnight stay then back the next day ("scenic" route via Crieff and Dunkeld) Great days.

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.

 

[Gixxerman]

108 miles. Took me about 8 1/2 hours, with a 1/2 hour lunch stop at halfway. I was meant to meet up with a Sky ride in Scunthorpe. I was 1/2 hour late getting there as I got lost. I followed their route but never caught them up / saw them. So where their route turned back to Scunny, I made my own route up back to home. I hadn't planned on going that far, but due to a combination of things (nice weather, keeping off main roads etc.) it morphed into 20+ miles longer than planned. Strangley enough, it was my neck and shoulders that ached more than my legs.
