(mates GPS and I went past him)

crispy i think you need to go on a diet mate! lol

Does distance and speed equal fitness? Hmmmm.

can i just skip the foreplay and go straight to willy waving?

Well I used to look like crispy bacon up there^^^

But I've let myself go of late.

Certainly not fast but can trundle away happily for a few hours.

I iz well fit man.

I'd heard otherwise mk1fan 😉

You wouldn't say no.

Furthest in a day - 100 miles on the road many a decade ago.

hardest miles - 63 at the strathpuffer.

Fastest - 55+mph on the tandem on road, 45ish offroad on the tandem.

How fit am I - its all relative. By the standards of my non MTBing friends very, by the standards of those who MTB distinctly average at best, compared to a racer - couch potato

Longest on the road is 80 miles in 4hr 54mins - I've only been at it since December.

Longest on the Mountain bike is 35'ish miles

Fastest on the road is 44.5mph

MUM!

Longest on the road 224.748 miles .Fastest 59.6 mph also on road .I don't know about offroad as I don't use a computer

Tazzy,nice bike and somewhere to park it!

Longest road ride was around 200km (in 12 hours or so on a mountain bike). Fastest I've ever been on my bike was just over 100km/hr coming down Mt Stuart in Townsville, 'twas a [i]little[/i] scary when I had a speed wobble! 😯

EDIT: oh, and my willy is rather large don't you know 😉 so my wife says anyway, though I reckon she's humouring me 😆

mmmmmmmmmmmmm It's starting 🙂

edric64 how long did that take you and what was your journey.

How far/fast could Chuck Norris go?

don't normally go in for all the airing of private parts, but I was pretty proud of myself for this effort... all figures from the same day, think 43mph was on the A6 somewhere on the return with a following wind.

last year's Manc-Blackpool there and back and to and from my house to the start. Same again this year 8)

Offroad - 60.4 miles / 5:23:25. S Wales valleys, Brecon Beacons Gap & return

Highest (offroad) speed - 43.6mph. Skyline

What does any of this have to do with fitness?

I don't really understand manwells.

he advertises overpiced stuff for months on the classifieds and complains if anyone asks why and yet, every so often, he pops up in the main forums with some troll?

How far/fast could Chuck Norris go?

You can't measure Chuck Norris like that. When he pedals, he stays where he is and the Earth spins under his wheels.

longest offroad = 22 miles and i was shattered, but that was a peaks ride with more climb than up snowdon. fastest recorded speed = 35mph but i think i went faster than that coming down from mam tor on saturday.

Manwells - would you take an offer? 😉

[i]What does any of this have to do with fitness?[/i]
Well going off my fitness level/distances I've done, Absoulutely **** all!
Anyway I've done 60+ offroad 3 or 4 times & once hit 56 down Ingleby Incline.

To do with fitness - nowt, you measure fitness in recovery time, somthing like max to resting heartrate +20% I think.

Longest - 100 miles, sub 6 hours, hybrid with road tyres.
Fastest - 50 mph. Recumbent bike on Beacon Hill between Farnham and Fleet.

longest, 60miles in the peaks. Ran the Manchester BUPA 10km race the next day, and i somehow beat personal best by 12minutes. Fitness was awful, as i couldn't walk for the next 2days due to very little recovery time.

bloody hell hp you must be fitter than lance armstrong! lol

longest 300k in a day - snow roads audax

fastest - 90kph down a hill - 75 on the flat - with a roaring tail wind on saturday past in a 20mile TT

hardest - first 10 under the ben i did on a singlespeed in 06 - sooooo warm and so tough on the lack of gears

as for fitness - ill tell you tonight - off for tests;)

waswas if my bike was overpriced then why did i sell it on sunday morning for £750 and the purchaser did not even try to knock the price down as he said it was a bargain! hope you enjoy your humble pie! and how do you make out that this post is a troll are you thick or what!

"i sold the bike to a guy who had seen the advert in the local paper"

well I had thought it wouldn't be someone off here...

Max speed on a GPS doesn't count in my opinion. My Garmin extrex regularly has me doing 80+ kmh top speeds on the MTB... (which I clearly don't do)

I've done 47mph on the road bike

I've ridden 90 miles on the MTB in a day with a 20lb rucksack and a seatpost mounted rack - half road, half offroad. That hurt, especially as we did 60, mostly pushing, the day before.

Can't say I've ever measured.
(Not had any complaints though)

uphill as well, you nancies !!

I once rode 8000miles on one go and got up to a top speed of 243mph.

I also did a skid 465miles long on that ride.

awesome^sick

You da man glenh

60 mile loop on Quantocks and Exmoor - on and off road. About 9000ft of up and down.

It was wet wet wet and hurt a lot esp. the chaffing and dead legs. I was very brown with mud by the end.

Yeah I've seen it, his got a note and everything.

Well the most I have ever done is 60 miles in 2 days at Glencorrwg 😳

Got back and ate for a month (ok ever since) Right now 20 miles around the local trails nearly kills me

Recently got rid of the roadbike as I was doing the same commute miles but putting in half as much effort and getting less fit by the second. I have bought a Mountain bike to commute now and have set it up exactly like my 'posh' bike (totally wrong for the road) so I can get the muscles used to it again.

Doing the Roughride in June..need to be ready 🙂

Getting very fit many years ago was the precursor to getting very fat 😐 Decided to have a rest that lasted five years.

I have been all the way to the shops and back. Twice. Not on the same day though. Maximum speed was really fast - overtook Mr Marchant on the way down the hill and he was driving. He delivers the milk.

I'm over legged and under lunged, but I occasionally can make it up the odd hill.
