The Ton

[John Shingler]

Did my first 100 miler this Sunday http://app.strava.com/activities/77444243. 6hrs 55 mins moving time.

Started off very wet from the overnight rain but dried out and sun came out. Most i'd done up till then was 72. Felt ok but slept well that evening.

I'm thinking of cycling to my parents in New Forrest next, that's 138 miles and goes through London (east to west).

Did my first for 40 years two weeks ago. Took me 4 1/2 hours longer moving time than yours for 110mi, but very satisfying nonetheless. Well done and welcome to the Imperial Hundred Club.

Making the reasonable assumption that you're a lot younger than me, if you can do 100 you should be able to do the 138 but it's a lot harder than a 100. I wouldn't be able to do it now.

Did 91 miles a week ago was going for the 100 but the wind was picking up i knew i couldn't make it all the way, but still pleased with what i done, want to do at least 4 100 milers before making a trip to norfolk a tad over 158 miles
Well done for your ton

Well done!!
I'm aiming for the imperial 100 as soon as poss. I have many a metric ton under my belt, and my furthest distance so far is 84 miles.

Myself, @Col5632 and @Louch did our first ton a few weeks back on a CC Ecosse ride - last 10 miles were murder for me but boy it felt good to complete it!

Will echo @Fubar sentiments above, the ton in a day is a great breakthrough to make, and spurs you onto what else you can challenge your body to achieve. Makes the smaller distances much easier to knock out knowing your body has it in you to do the hundred.

Loved doing the ton, not sure if ill get another one till next year now though

So do two 50's in one day count.

The % is time ridden, and avg speed at the end. First time is ridden time and second is overall time
50 in Feb

Counts to me. Our ton was 30 miles to Perth, breakfast, 45/37 miles in a group( we got split up) , 30 home.
