Oh, it was an absolute draft fest for most of the time.
First part was a 25-lap Volcano group ride at 2.4W/kg. Was advertised as less but leaders weren't great at restraining the pace. The group wasn't massive but the draft was good.
Once that was finished I stayed in Watopia and went to the desert to find the C cat. pace partner. That took a while and then I wasn't quick enough with my U-turn so had some bridging to do. Got there in the end. Worst part by far was that later on I haven't noticed that my avatar wanted to go in a different direction on an intersection and I ended up going towards Downtown instead of sticking to the Flats. Had to do a U-turn again and catch the group once more. Absolutely massive group, possibly 300-400 riders?
Arse was annoying me during the ride but now is completely fine. Legs sore as hell though. The distance? Not gonna lie... Got a bit emotional once I got the 100-mile mark. Was happy that I've done it and happy that it's over. Downed 3 litres of isotonic drinks, 5 energy gels as well as some gummy snakes and almonds.
Considering that my longest ever ride before this was around 65k I'm really quite happy. Interested to see how I'm going to feel tomorrow.
DBR know how to pick the hilly routes don’t they!

My Lord, I’ve eaten my bodyweight in pig products and potatoes over these past 24 hours…. I’m going to have to re-instigate the 5am rides in the New Year…
Like lead. In a couple of days with rest, absolutely awesome.
Those are the type if rides that give you the punch late on in races.
Congratulations doing a 100 miler, something of a milestone. Ive not done that many, probably 6, but each memorable 👍

Well done Peter on the 100 👍there will be ripples of fear through the ranks on here 😁
I differ slightly from some of the others on here , if you feel good and got a buzz on , then keep doing something - your body will tell you to pack it in when you are doing too much - something will give in

Awesome! Take a break for couple of days, perhaps a really low wattts rides next day or so to stop the legs seizing up and then pick a race. Bet you hit a nice new ftp👍

This is by no means a coach related regime !
Others on here are doing coach stuff and it really works , I haven’t had the mindset to do that and do my own thing - think that you are improving at a brilliant rate and maybe finding the right path it will continue - if only we knew what that path is ! - someone will 😁

hill climb battle at 10.40 if anyone up for losing a couple of them mince pies stashed in the belly ?
I love leftovers.
So far I've had a beef sandwich for supper, one for breakfast and I'm just having one for lunch!
Had beef for tea and another beef sandwich for breakfast. Just keeping you in the loop

Also planning to do the 25 laps of the Volcano this afternoon, although I'm not going to stretch it to 100 miles unlike @Peter Salt - not sure I've got the legs for that! It will get me my 100km badge as well - while I have done a metric century on Zwift, it was while I was on a trial membership due to letting my subscription expire, so I didn't get the badge.Feel absolutely knackered - just ordered three large pizzas
I did 5, 10 & 25 laps of Volcano, 100km, 100mi and 100 ride ons received in one activityDidn't think I can last the distance, still kind of can't believe it.
Event is the Invictus Challenge at 4pm and is all one category (E), so there's no one set pace to go at. Having said that, there's already over 400 people signed up, so I'm pretty sure there'll always be a pack at whatever pace I choose to go at and even if I get dropped, I only have to wait 7-8 minutes for them to come back round again!
And chill?
