Know what I mean? If you are aged 20 then you've to do a one day ride of 20 miles. (20 year olds will only do trail centres so they won't qualify!)

If you are 30 years old then you have to ride 30 miles. Easy? So it is.

If you are 40 then you must ride 40 miles; Getting harder now.

50 year olds have to ride 50 miles in a day. Hmmmm.

Every year you have to ride a mile further just to keep up.

So what's the oldest, longest ride on here? I've just done a 45 miler but that's not long enough so it's back to the maps.

Who can say that they've ridden their age, and what's the oldest record?

48 here are ridden more than that offroad in a day

Often ridden my age, rarely acted it.

Not as hard as in golf…

That's incredibly random. Surely there's likely to be plenty of people who've done riders longer than an age they will ever achieve? Sure plenty of people have done 100 miles, I doubt that many of us will get there in years!

I am 43 and have raced upto 109km. I have regularly raced 75km races. So I guess the answer is yes. *Walks away scratching head*

Done 100m off road so I can give up now.

Ive ridden 100 miles in a day and i'm 19 😀

Oh, and i find your comment on 20 year olds oinly riding trail centres mighty offensive 😉 Theres nothing i enjoy more than getting out into the cambrian mountains for some real mountain biking.

I quite often ride my shoe size.

100 miles off road, 135 miles on road. Most people here will have done similiar I'm sure and probably quicker!

Key question is do you earn more than your age in £'000s.

Off road, 60
Road, 120
Current age, 37

Your 19.

As a 20 year old I ride 15 miles on a weekday, 30 miles on a road ride (I can never motivate myself to ride more) and around 30 miles on a weekend. Longest I've raced is 140 miles.

A whole hundred metres offroad Al?

Your 19 what???? 😀

does this mean my four year old should be able to do four miles!?

Nope, you've not got the idea.

Riding 100 miles is fine, if your age is 100; if your age is less than 100 it doesn't count.

EG Kiwijohn, only rides of 37 miles count, as 37 is your age.
Rolfharris – your 140 miles would be fine if your age was 140, otherwise it don't count.

Anyone else?

PJ266, they'r just jealouse of our youthfull energy and the fact its still socialy acceptable to go out with girls who haven't yet hit the menaupause!

:p

23, ridden several imperial centuries on road and several metric centuries off road. TBH if i dont get an imperial century done 90% off road by the end of the year I'll be dissapointed. And anything less than 30 isn't worth gettign out the door for, should i lay off the bikes for 7 more years?

And I ride maybe 1/3rd of my rides in trail centres.

So I have to go out and do a 23 mile ride, hardly a challange? and the average forum dweeller must be in their 40's doing easily 40+mile rides every weekend?

Random rubbish on STW, normal day then.

I'm 140 in dogyears.

It's the amount of climbing that's the bugger – not the distance.

My age is the same as my Shimano shoe size 😉

What is wrong with trail centres? and why do they not qualify?
