When you've been cycling for years and done hundreds of rides and ridden with hundreds of people it's easy to forget some of your cycling achievements and memorable moments.

So what about you - what great cycling achievements or memories do you have?
Personally I've got three that immediately spring to mind:
- Hitting 45mph downhill in the middle of the North York Moors with only the cows and sheep for company (who didn't seem to care about the odd bloke on the bike screaming with pleasure!)
- My second FNRttC; why the second one? Well the first one was a lot harder work than I'd expected and by the end of it I was cold, tired and ready for home (pleased I'd done it, but still many miles away from home and it just seemed to take forever to get back and crash out) - by comparison the second was a warmer evening and didn't feel like anywhere near as hard work as the first one so was much more of a pleasure ride.
- Almost completing a 100 mile solo ride. I made it to around 96 miles but couldn't push my knee any further for fear of causing serious damage, so called my brother out to come and pick me up - but still, 96 miles was a hell of a good go and one of these days I'll work up the gumption to try again and hopefully crack the magic 100.
