I have done some 40 or 50 milers, I think I have done one or two 100 km too, not sure how many. I just prefer not to work out a lot at the longer distances. If I am going to work out like a pro, I want to get paid for it.
I mostly ride to burn some calories and try to keep building my fitness but I ride for fun too. Sometimes it is fun to click off a longer ride to go see some things. It is just something I don't think I will be getting in a habit of doing regularly but you never know. I don't think it is good for the body (my body anyway) in the long term, sort of like carpal tunnel. That is why I move my seat and bars around quite a bit, try to change things up a little on a regular basis.

What a great ride and I like that you are into the fun side of things as well - sometimes hobbies/passions can get way too serious if you're not careful.
Even if you don't do it again it doesn't matter.

Not noticed 'my pic of day' thread before!
Reason for edit: smile fell off AGAIN, must remember to use the key board not emojis on here

85 miles yesterday and testing out the new GPS cycle computer. Apparently I got PBs for climb (1594m) and speed over > 50 miles (13mph). Felt the heat though.

Noooooooooooooo..............you're life will never be the same again!
Even although I had tired legs this morning and the majority of my ride was slowish, I lost a QOM by 2 seconds the other day so just had to make one special effort to try and get it back. Got it back by 2 seconds but no doubt the other rider will go out again and get it back. Funny feeling she is a new young rider just getting into her stride so can't really compete but it's a bit of fun while it lasts.

Some impressive progress around here, well done to all of you! I've been so caught out with work lately I didn't go out a lot, only trying to meet my weekly quota, hopefully things will change soon.
I do have a question that's been bugging me and couldn't find a suitable explanation yet, why is it called a metric ton when it only refers to 100k and not 1,000k? I first though it might be related to climbing elevation like 1,000m (3280ft) but I see commonly referred as 100km ride. Please excuse my ignorance, I just have to take it out of my head
Keep pushing those pedals everybody and don't forget the sun cream!

£100 is referred to as a ton, i reckon it's from that.
