how do you measure cycle distance achievement

[markharry66]

Today did a 75 mile run for first time ever from sidcup to essex and back. Last week did sidcup to gillingham acutually thought that was harder more hills. Today except for last few miles was a doddle in comparison. My queston when someone tells you they have covered a large distance how do you define it as an achievement as to day for me it was mainly flat not my hardest cycle ever and not the hardest route.

Achievement has to be judged on what you originally set out to achieve - nothing more. If your goal today was to ride 75 miles, then you achieved it. If, on the other hand, your goal was to ride 75 miles in a time less than you actually managed, then that is not such an achievement.

Achievement or not, just chalk it up and start planning next week's goals...

Logically the next milestone is the ton or the '100' miler!
