Longest ride I did was 115 miles from Cardiff to Aberystwyth back when I was a student. Did it on my MTB with slicks, a couple of litres of water, some sandwiches and some peanuts. Not enough drink at all, found it tough at the end especially as I'd hardly done any long rides previously. Intentionally took all day over it, had lots of garage stops and such. Stopped a pub just south of Llanwrtyd Wells and ordered several large cokes.
Landlady: Where are you headed?
Me: Aberystwyth
LL: Aberystwyth?! Where have you come from?
Me: Cardiff
LL: 😯
Actually I tell a lie, I did 130 miles from Cardiff to Oxford via Gloucester because I didn't know you could cycle over the Severn Bridge! And along the A40, Christ what a mistake that was. It's boring as hell to DRIVE never mind slog along for hours and hours feeling cold, tired and miserable.
Attempted to cycle back to Hereford a couple of days later but my knee hurt really badly - my first and worst bout of patello-femoral syndrome. Could hardly have sex when I got to Oxford cos I couldn't kneel on it.
Today about 70km or so btw 🙂
Longest distance?
Workington to Sunderland on the CTC worked out at 132.5 miles/9'300ft ascent (but my bike computer may be wrong) on the roady bike.
Not sure about the mtb but maybe the Mary Towneley Loop at 47 miles/6000+ft ascent would be a contender.
No particularly spectactular compared to some but i'm quietly proud of doing the CTC in a day.

No, just google Trolls then click images. If it helps the slogan is 'trolls, horny little .... aren't they' (I took out the rudie)
I've seen it. Evil t******* trolls. Won't put the full title incase anyone gets upset/offended.

Molgrips - YOu really shoulda told me you were in Oxford 🙁
Is it me or is there a lot of it about at the moment??Shirley we should all be out actually riding? (says he on a sunny sunday arvo).
There is, and don't call me Shirley.
OK, if we're boasting about our weekend achievements then yesterday I was at Swinley on the single speed.
I wouldn't 'boast'. Swinley should only ever be done on a singlespeed. Doing it with gears should never be admitted to.
Seen the Trolls surrounding woman image. Did you know that that is actually TJ's house?
No, it's true. All sorts goes on there. 😯

My pleasure, I couldn't believe no one else had done it. Too good to miss.

This was in 1997!
I was there dude! Only a mile or 2 off of the A40!
Yes but I didn't know you!
Ahh, I see. Sometimes you're too practical for your own damn good!
Problem solved.

Trouble is, this deliberate trolling means that sensible genuine questions just get ignored and threads wrecked cos people think it's better to act like knobs than be helpful... 🙄
