First 100 miles

[huttster]

Hi all,over the weekend Mrs Huttster and the kids where in spain for a short break so i thought i would attempt my first 100 miler seeing as i had some time to kill,went really well with an average speed of 17.5mph top speed 40mph(see, there are some hills in Essex)also managed it non-stop,with an evil head wind/rain on the last 10miles,not trying to show off but as she is not into cycling at all i just got an "oh,really" when i told her,could someone say well done please.

Talk about moving goalposts. Looks like i've got further to go than I thought!

started getting really difficult at ninety but was determined to get to 100(also had to get home somehow)

Easy one that,shopping!Losing the kids for 5-6 hours is a bit trickier

Great feeling when you have done it though adam23 or what?,does anyone know if most people have a break half way through or not?Felt as if i stopped it would be hard to get going again
