113 mile ride

[David_widnes]

First 100 mile ride done and dusted was 113 miles to be precise due to a small detour around Preston but i can tick it off my things to do before i hit 50 list

Looking for a new goal any ideas????

Nice one A metric 200, 150miles, 300km, 200miles etc. There's plenty of more targets out there :-)

Great achievement, well done

Why not head into Wales for your next trip - Carnarvon Castle and back? Not sure how far that is but Wales is on your doorstep

Congrats
How easy did you find it ?

 

[David_widnes]

Cant say it was easy but it defiantly wasnt as hard as i had thought it would be before hand.

I did the ride with my brother in law and had agreed with him to try and take it easy going to Blackpool and we would see how we felt before we set off back home.

Must admit though for a couple of hours on the way home at around the 70- 80 mile mark i was in a dark place not really tired or low on energy but i cant remember much about that section of the ride i must have gone into some kind of auto - pilot mode.

Im looking at doing lands end to john o groats next springtime so i will be doing a 100 miler at least once a month until then.

Congrats on the ride i have my first 100 miler coming up in Sept
have a look on the audax uk site plenty of targets on there

 

[Hip Priest]

Very well done. An impressive achievement.

 

[quikanth]

excellent achievement! how long has it taken you to get to this stature, and whats sort of equipment are you using??

 

[DTD]

Well done.

 

[mcshroom]

Chapeau

It's a great feeling hitting that target isn't it

As has been said above, next target could be 200km (about 125mi) or have a look at some Audax rides

Well done, looking at your stats it was a pretty flattish ride.
Why not do a coast to coast ride, west to east. You can do it in a similar distance but it will be hillier.
