70 miles? You animal!!!

I did the Mega Pretzel route ... I was contemplating the Ultra Pretzel, an extra 50 or so km .... glad I chose the shorter route

Given the various sportives etc are cancelled this year, anyone fancy a different challenge?

If still in lock down might have a go at the RAW one

Well a part of you will certainly be raw with that amount of time on the turbo!

3000 mile in 12 days ! Have I read that wrong 😳 on a turbo ! - you can count me out

Just @Freelanderuk on this one then?!

Lovely outdoor ride today but paying the price. Heavy legs (feeling the stairs) and light headed when standing up from sitting so think I went a bit hard.
Hoping to be recovered for the league on Monday!

The RAW one is just 925 miles in 12 days 🤪

77 miles every day. It really depends on ascent figure. I remember the two weeks in Tenerife, I was tired.

Folk do Lejog over 10-12 days, so its doable with careful pacing.

RAW is a possibility, but hoping to have my tourer up and running by then

Well the discussions on here have forced my hand - I've decided that while we're in lockdown, I'm going to try for the 14 day "Unemployed" badge. Currently I have only got the 3 day one, not even the 7, so this will be quite a departure for me logging on to Zwift that often.

I was going to start tomorrow as I've got a long (but easy paced) group ride scheduled, but I thought why not just do a quick lap of Richmond tonight and start it a day early? So I did!

I will still probably keep to my usual schedule of doing proper Zwift rides on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays (either long slow rides or races), while the rest of the days I will literally just do enough to keep the streak going and no more. Wish me luck...

 

[CXRAndy]

Good luck, its not about smashing every day, just use some days ride in zone 1/2 to recover

The Dane Michael Knudsen already did this on Zwift last year, so nothing special about it.

He's an ultra distance competitor.

Lejog or something similar is the crowning achievement for most cyclists

Today was a SZR 300km/186mile ride on Zwift, that would be a challenge.

Yes, it was part of his training for this year’s RAAM, which has now been cancelled. He has done the Red Bull Trans Siberian Extreme twice, and I think this would have been his second RAAM.

These extreme cyclists are something special - crazy guys and gals
