And remember Al is in charge of your waterbottle on sat

[Hanneke]

62 kms in 2 hours on an undulating course, feeling strong throughout. Managed somne good sprints as well, even towards the end

That new bike is quite something! Woohoo

[Hanneke]

Just go out and enjoy it Hann
I know of quite a few on here who have notched up a hundred miles.

Ady, Myself, Emma for sure. In fact I think she notched a few up for her Ironman training last year.
She may have some tips to offer

My tips are
Start steady
Good comfy saddle
Eat plenty
Drink lots of coca cola

Whats the furthest you have been Hann
I always find the bit between 70/ 85 miles the worst.

Furthest I have been is 115 kms... that is 70 miles... I reckon I can ride 100 miles no problem, if I drop my usual pace a little... It is just a matter of finding the time for it.

I HATE coca cola though...

Next time you all do a long ride
Get to 6hrs 41mins which is the point where Cavendish won the Milan San Remo which is 185miles and see how many miles your short.

Yup, done 100 a few times, not recently though Getting fitter though perhaps in a few weeks.......

So, how about the Daz challenge, I reckon 100 miles in 6hrs 41mins would be doable for most of us on here, that's only 85 miles short of Cav. So for those of you clocking up 100 over the next few weeks, lets see how you do...post here for the Daz challenge for whiter whites

[disco stan]

I rode my downhill mountain bike up and down the street, just to adjust the gearing.
I'm worn out

Ok, will do... I do 60 miles in about 3.5 hours so yes, should be able to do 100 in less than 6.5 hours...

Maybe give me a year and ill possibly be able to do 100.

I think we need a few more rules for that though....does it include/exclude stops....how much uppage etc?? I could happily crank out 100 on the flatlands in my neck of the woods in that time but Daz lives in a hilly bit so his lumps are bigger!!
