    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.

    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 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 little 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 😆

    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)

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
