Your greatest cycling achievement

[mudsticks]

Im frightened I will get bundled into the back of a transit van - and sold as a sex slave - my wife has told me thats very unlikely

Is that a fear, or a fantasy ??

I would trust your wife on this one, she's probs got a fair idea of your marketable value

210 miles in day, Warrington to Cardigan at the tender age of 20, when I was slim, very fit and very fast. My uncle was a triple National champion medal winner, so it must be in the genes.

Nowadays, a very slow, flat 100 miles in a day is a bit too much in my old age, even on a nice summer's day.

As a preferred solo rider I never gained from group rides but managing 50 mile rides at 18 mph plus average was going some (imho)
Maximum ride was 84 miles I think, virtually non stop.
Regularly cycling 6k miles a year for a few years.
Being the fittest 50 year old ( at that time) at work by far, fitter than many of my you get colleagues.

My greatest achievement at the time was completing a LE-JOG, completion of which surprised me but indicated that I had the ability to take on more challenging tours in the future.
I will forever be grateful to the hills of Cornwall that became so tedious that my Cornwall tour morphed into a LEJOG.

52 imperial century rides in 2018, for the average of one per week. Just wanted something nice for the vicar to say about me at my funeral . I set out to do 1 per month for the CC imperial century challenge, but things got a little out of hand . Got lucky with the weather last year though, doubt i`d have been anywhere near that if i`d have had a go at it this year.

Not falling off my trike

London-Edinburgh-London in 2017 in under 100 hours despite being badly injured before the start, under doctor's orders not to ride ( ) having damaged my RH achilles and what turned out to be internal bleeding and a split IT band on the right as well.

GHS rider here too but not a winner lol. Best thing I remember at the moment is doing the Lyke Wake walk on a bike (Carlton Cobra).

Not sure about achievements but things I would put as good memories

Cycle youth hostelling in my early teens
First cycle camping trip at 16
Coast to coast and back
First 100 miles

Think they were all achievements in a way

Staying upright at the age of four. Sixty years later I remember the wonderful feeling of speed and freedom.

I've been repeating the experience ever since, with the odd failure.

staying upright at the age of 78.

 

[Twilkes]

A very naive self-supported JogLe without any notable incident, when the longest I'd ever cycled in one go was about 30 miles.

Riding a monkey bike pissed-up at high speed in circles around a campfire in the Perthshire farm courtyard of a children's holiday centre without smashing my skull into the outbuilding walls.
