I would happily ride my SS as far as my geared bike. I did 35 miles last Sunday and I have a 65 mile sportive planned for next month, which I may or may not do on 'Aryton.'

Once you have the right gear (I vary between 46x17 and 48x17 but usually the former) you'll just pedal & pedal, you won't want to stop!

I'd like to think I'll do a 100 mile ride next year; I thought I'd do it on my Synapse but now you've got me thinking...

46/18 as standard so see how that goes. Think of the challenge, 100 miler on a SS and the bragging rights if you complete it

It's got to be done! My biggest problem is pacing myself. I go out too fast...

I returned to fixed with a vengeance this year, to ride an SR series plus another 600, and Paris-Brest-Paris. About 3900km in total for the year. Longest ride 1200km, of course.

Well, that kind of puts things in perspective!

More bragging rights if you do it on fixed.

To achieve just half the distances you guys have I would be immensely proud of myself. Thank you for replying. I can only imagine how the Paris-brest-Paris was like.

I must admit that about 15 miles is the most I've done on mine in one hit.

 

[rideswithmoobs]

Id be pleased with that. I'm 20 mins from the lakes and everything gets a bit hilly round here once you go five mile out of the village

I've done a weekend tour on SS. Home to St Ives, and back via the guided bus path to Cambridge. Probably two 35 mile days or so, with overnight stuff.

158 miles on fixed,from Oldham to Morecambe and back in one day
