Well he might do it in kms and therefore not realise...

But, like you, I couldn't possibly leave it at 194.

I would love to think I could get anywhere near that figure in a single ride. Maybe a challenge for next year for one of the London CC rides ;) ;)

I wouldn't have time. At 12mph it would take me over sixteen hours and that's without stops!

Yes, I was thinking that when my trike, on some long downhills, touched 33mph today. "Wow, that's fast," thought I, knowing it was going extra fast due to all the stuff I had in the panniers (probably 10kg worth of touring clobber for my test-run for my tour next month). But that was once or twice hitting that speed... not doing 25 miles that fast! ;)

Yep, kms... 312 of them. On the road at 4am. I'm training for LEL so I've got to get the big rides in. For the first time ever, I got bored riding. At the 250 mark. I punctured at 260 and it actually came as a welcome relief!

Very impressive distances from Yello and Auntie H. But I'm more intrigued as to why AH is growing milk bottles?

When they grow up, they will be sweetcorn.

It's my husband's department, he has books on veg growing. You can probably tell we're also growing the veg on the front lawn; this is due to the dog massacring the back lawn.

A question for the mile-munchers out there.

Do you find you are constantly eating? I seem to be eating about 4000 calories per day (and losing weight). However I'm eating some rather rubbish stuff (ate that whole bar of dairy milk caramel I bought last night) rather than good, hearty energy bars.

It's the constant grazing that seems a bit over the top. Do you lot all eat permanently as well?

I think it's ok as long as you keep the miles up, I've not been so active the last couple of weeks, but the munchies seem to stay with me. I'm trying to make a concious effort to eat balanced meals and limit the grazing to healthier options. Though I've recently failed to dodge kebab, chips, some Easter chocolate and crisps.

At the moment, yes. But I guess that's normal when you consider the amount of calories you're burning. The temptation is there to eat rubbish (i.e. fatty cakes and chocolate etc) but I'm resisting and letting myself raid the fruit bowl for apples and bananas as often as I like. Almonds too. They're pretty cheap here and I eat maybe 5 or 6 handfuls a day!

I should try harder to eat more healthy. It's hard and my will power is obviously not good :sad:

Doesn't help when situations like Today occur. My Boss' Birthday and he gave one of the guys some £'s to go and buy cakes at lunchtime. The fella tasked with this spent 28 quid in M&S and came back with 2 huge big carriers full of everything from Lemon Drizzle cake, to mini choc rolls, loads of muffins and even a big coffee and walnut cake. Did ok though... just 1 muffin and 3 mini choc rolls :tongue:
