105 miles. That'll be nothing compared to some on here.
72miles
On a 2000 stumpy HT.
60 something odd on an mtb, down the Grand Union canal towards London.
Same the next day.
Me bum hurt.
110 but a road ride. Unforgettable day of hell.
Dunwich Dynamo, although obviously not strictly in a day!
Off-road SDW over 2 days, so about 50 miles.
about 115 on the road bike at Ride London, including riding to and from the car park
about 100 on the MTB doing a 12hr solo Gorrick. That wasn't just the distance, it was 11 and a quarter hours of moving time too.
Haven’t really counted, but around 500km I’m guessing.
…on a Yamaha
280km, double-dutch Audax + a ride to the start and back. It was a good way to learn that an ultra stiff fixie was the wrong bike to bring.
A mate and I did approx 120 miles around West Sussex when we were 15. I still remember us planning that route on old OS maps earlier that week.
Did a 300 mile charity ride thing; joining up a few company offices, so had to ride through Central London, Manchester and Liverpool. Was really boring, and physically no where near as tough as the South Downs Way or various other rides I’d done. Quite fun though, riding up the A5 in the middle of the night was surreal.

240km through Poland on an Inbred, but I was bike fit, knocking out 160km days one after the other riding UK to Istanbul via a roundabout route. I've done 60km days that felt much tougher.
205km.
170km was the 2018 Etape du Tour from Annecy to Le Grand Bornand and the remaining 35km was the unexpected ride back to Annecy after I screwed up the bus transfer booking.
A long and hot day. But one of my favourites.
86 miles on a mtb in the Lakes. Was plenty...
401.27 miles
645.78 kilometers
.
I know at least Terrahawk of this here parish has beaten that.
About 130 miles on the road and dirty reiver recently (200km/124 miles) on gravel. Doing the frontier 300 coast to coast thing soon which will be a new record for me - if I make it.
120 miles on an Etape du Tour through the Pyrenees. Ascent counts for a lot.
73 miles, all offroad, around 6100' of climbing and fairly often recently as i get ready for a big multi day charity ride.
Why do you ask?

Not me but my mate yesterday rode 594.15<abbr class="unit" title="kilometers"> km! Bristol to North Wales and back. With over 6000m of climb.</abbr>
Mind blowing stuff.
In a 24 hr period 400k'ish, and I was awake and riding most of that. not including the ew seconds I fell asleep on a descent into Henley....
This was a 400k Audax
281 miles in 12h. Ended up where I started 🤣 I DNF’d the 24h but managed over 350 miles in 16h. Was not well that day.
Much over 400-500km is fast over 24 hrs
John O Groats to Inverness in a day, about 124 miles on a loaded up 29er.
594.15km! Bristol to North Wales and back. With over 6000m of climb
25kph for 24 hours is incredible. And that doesn't take account of stopped time.
232 on road. I did the Chase the Sun ride a good few years ago now, think that was 220 miles but had to do some additional miles to get to the start and hotel at the end. This wasn’t a particularly big feat, we used to regularly do 120 to 150 miles, but there was a hellish headwind during one of the real flat sections, that was mentally hard.
Off-road is 120, South Downs Way and a bit extra to my campsite. Enjoyable ride, apart from my cassette came loose and I didn’t have the tools to tighten it. Put it back together and gravity did it’s best to keep it in place, meant I had very limited gears, on a Marin Pine Mountain that weighed a tonne plus my bike packing gear, limited gears and that weight made the hills a joy!
The SDW on a day and Peddars Way and back in a day too.
I found it brutal at the time but in hindsight loved every minute of it.
In fairness, I love riding the SDW over 3 days even more as its just such a stunning part of the world.
Peddars Way was a lot flatter, very beautiful too but not quiet the "adventure" the SDW is. Well worth the ride though for anyone that gets the chance.
165 miles / 264 km Stroud - Tor Cross for fish & chips @ Start Bay Inn.
About 10 years ago, I rode a 12 hour time trial registering 232 miles, the winner did 302 which was then a British record. I think this has been considerably extended since then. I now live in Cataluña and on Good Friday this year did a 450km gravel race from Barcelona to Valencia, my riding time was 22 hours but had a little kip en route. The winning time was 18 hours non stop. Not bad for a 62 year old.
SDW with a bit at the start and a bit at the end, so about 105 miles off-road.
Road was Gent Wevelgem this year, which came in at about the 100 roughly.
Need a like button 👍
100 for me.
110km from Cambridge to Woodbridge. It took a day, but only because it was a social ride and we stopped for breakfast, cake, lunch and cake.
I think it was calorie neutral. Probably.
I've done Manchester to London a couple of times. First one was the formal Rapha event, there was a diversion on route and then I had to ride from the finish at London Velodrome down to my Mum's house so it ended up being 235 miles in total.
The next time I did it was simply from my house to hers, about 220 miles.
I've done Dunwich Dynamo loads of times. One year, to avoid the increasing bike-on-train restrictions at Ipswich, I had the idea of riding from Dunwich to Cambridge and getting the train from there. 125 miles up to Dunwich, another 80 across to Cambridge. That was not the greatest plan ever... 😳
Off road, it'd be the time I raced Sleepless as a Pair. Can't remember the exact distance but it was around 200 miles and I could barely walk for 2 days afterwards.
250 miles,Fort William and back.Cycling through the night on quiet roads is ace. Doing a 200 miler Ride to the Sun ,Edinburgh - Carlisle - Edinburgh (again) :-).
Did a 100 mile route on the roadie once that was a few tenths short, so ended up circling the block a few times. It was a pretty underwhelming ride around the Aylesbury vale and the edge of the Chilterns, so not even that memorable of a ride. Longest ride on the mountain bike was a 42 mile loop in the Chilterns I reckon.
165 miles... mix of road and off road.did London to Brighton on road in *reverse*, then l2b off road back... plus a few linking miles...
Was a great ride, I'd deffo do again...

188 miles / 300 km in the Tayside Transgression audax.
Rained for the first 100 miles - with many quitting with cold at 80 miles - but took me through Glen Lyon for the first time.
Also 207 miles in 24 hrs:
Starting at midday in Stirling, meeting friends and then riding through the night to Montrose and back.
Multiple stops in parks for a drum-up and a wee nap on benches - which I found harder than if we'd kept going. Never again!
150 miles fully loaded up for touring in central Sweden.
I planned to do 75 that day, but all the closer youth hostels were booked.
When I booked the bed the receptionist mentioned that the front desk shut at 5pm
It was a very early start for me!
Nothing like some of the rides up above!
Actually I've done Manchester to the coast a few times, and that's about 50 miles of off-road and mixed trails on the TPT, flat as a pancake though, so doesn't really count.
159 miles. Road ride. About 8000 feet of climbing. Left at 6am, back in the village pub for 9pm.
All about pacing and fuelling really - constantly being one or two gears easier than you felt you could ride, spinning up hills, couple of proper meal stops, constantly nibbling and drinking.
Club has just put together a circuit of Derbyshire - furthest roads east, west, south and north, lowest point in the county and a small diversion up to Flash. Think its 194 miles. A couple of idiots are looking at it as a day out, reckon it would make a lovely 3 day tour.
The wacky world of audax is running London-Edinburgh-London this year, if you've got 4 days free in August 😳
200 km at the Dirty Reiver.
Furthest on an MTB? I did the Great Glen Way from Inverness and then along the West Highland Way to Kinlochleven. Next day was finishing the WHW to my (then) house in Glasgow.
I did the HONC singlespeed 67 miles .
225 miles from Yeovil to Rammy on a fully laden bike weighing 65lbs. Nice day tho with a decent tail wind.
Not me but my mate yesterday rode 594.15<abbr class=”unit” title=”kilometers”> km! Bristol to North Wales and back. With over 6000m of climb.</abbr>
Mind blowing stuff.
Oooh that Bryan Chapman Memorial Audux,(got a club race report on that)popped up on my FB feed and I must admit I thought wowsers.
I’m around 70-80miles in a day but tbh I’ve never been that motivated/had the time in going more.
223 miles - a double Coast to Coast a couple of years ago.
Also did the Mallorca 312 in 2019 - think that was about 196 miles including getting to and from the start.
