118 miles on lejog with four panniers and camping gear.

Just over 160km in a day touring the other year so a shade over a 100miles on road. 100km in a Polaris a couple of years back but that did have a lot of road in it.

204 miles, mixture of road and offroad, probably 40/60 split. I see some chaps have done more than that, chapeau.

I’ll just take my fixie off somewhere and hide shall I?

40 miles on my road bike, about 55 on a canal ride once.
Quite fancy doing a big ride on the road bike this summer.

Also quite fancy that Liverpool-Leeds Canal ride that was talked about on here last week.

Ladies and Gentlemen; we have a winner.

You are absolutely mental. You need locking up for your own safety.

316 miles in one day??? That’s insane.

Thank-you. I think.
Actually it’s not that impressive.
I was building up to doing a 24hr MTB race. Did 214miles in National 12hr Time trail champs on the road in 2008 then did 316miles in the National 24hr time-trial Champs (2009) Pi$$ed it down for a lot of it, quite horrible. Fell asleep on the bike around 4am, probably only for a couple of seconds but woke up in the wrong lane of a major A-road, scared me quite a bit so I stopped and had 20minutes proper sleep, was OK after that. Winner got over 400miles…
Have discovered road 24s are really dull, think that’s why I nodded off. And being on tri-bars leaves one in the ideal position for doing so!
Did 2 solo 24hr MTB races last year much more successfully, 9th at Newcastleton and then 31st at the Worlds in Canberra. Done 1 so far this year, 13th at Newcastleton (was beaten by one singlespeeder, that’s impressive!) Staying awake is now much less of an issue. Is it because I am now used to it or because having more adrenaline from the fun bits in my system keeps me awake or because I have discovered caffine tablets?

101 miles on the road, 65ish offroad.

The road ride was Edinburgh to Crieff via Dunfermline and returning to Linlithgow (light ran out which stopped me). I discovered that Lucozade from village shops is great for when you run out of liquid.

206km in the ASH Dash, (Annual Seven Hills), from Hobart around southern Tassie. My third & last time on a road bike.
Off road, I’ve done several 100+km races.

132.5 miles (according to the computer) with 9’300ft of ascent on the C2C from Workington to Sunderland last July.
It was a great day out actually, if tiring. Would do it again with pleasure.
However – NOT from Workington – the place is horrible, really, really horrible. Go from Whitehaven, much prettier.

Not really sure about the mtb although i’ve ridden the MTL in a day etc.

Workington must be *really* bad if Whitehaven is better.

107 miles on the road bike, Stratford sportive
55 miles off road ..

About 120 ish miles on road Sheffield to Whitby via York as a teenager. 40 odd off road on the SDW. All downhill thereafter…
