Andy Wilkinson did 5 consecutive 100-miles-in-sub-4 hours 30 minutes at the age of 47. Within 24 hours. Go! :smile:

Raced against him on Saturday, he won the event, I think he was about 4-5 mins quicker than me posting an unbelievable time on what was a shite course!

It's time someone wrote a book about him. A cycling god, and a really interesting guy as well.

I've done 60 at 18 solo with 1200ft climbing and 52 at 20 in loose groups at the great MCR cycle, been ill for 3 months this year though and am just getting back into it so not fit enough for that at the moment.

Just by means of a quick update on progress on the challenge. Today I went out for an early ride and managed 60 miles with an average of 20.5mph. Previous best was 56 miles at 20.1mph, so a little further and a little faster.

I probably could have managed a little longer today too, next step for me will be 80 miles I think and if I can conquer that at a 20 ave. then it will be on to the 100

Today's effort http://www.strava.com/activities/147958426
Kudos :smile: I'd have given you one on strava but you too busy admiring chick in my photo to press approve I assume lol

Good job on the ride

100.54 miles today in 5 hrs 14 mins. Not exactly sticking to the 'rules' of the challenge, as I did 50 on the morning commute then 50 on the way home, but still, good stuff to boost weeks mileage ^_^
Just checked, did 2874ft of climbing on this run. Give me a flatter course and deffo be able to do the 5 hrs. I'm going to have to plan a course and just go for it!

I would just like to say that I only averaged 12.5 mph on my recent century ride, so it may be some time before I achieve this particular goal! :laugh:

(In my defence - I did treat myself to some long breaks, made numerous photo-stops, chatted to other riders, and tackled some steep hills in the Cotswolds. I reckon it would have been 15 mph if I had been trying a bit harder and maybe 16-17 mph on flatter terrain. Still - the difference between 15 mph and 20 mph on a bike is huge. This year is all about getting back into cycling. Next year can be a bit more challenging. :thumbsup:)


ha, yep did about the same speed over 140 miles on a loaded tourer and slept in a wood to boot

Great challenge from the OP mind but struggling to find a flat route around these neck of the woods to compete.
