    6 hours sorta non-stop riding is my record, couldn't speak properly at the end of it.

    Respect! They'd clear me from the trail in a body bag if I had to enter an event that long
    50KM remains my record!

    got a 70 miler (not too technical or mega steep climby...just like 10 under the ben!) lined up on sunday with a big group...

    should be a reasonable indicator...

    Good stuff.

    On a similar note, I'm cycling around Wales in September for charity. Planning on doing 650 miles in 7 days.

    Better start training......

    we have done a few big days recently....last one was a 40 miler but the climb was a carrybike affair.......

    that took about 9 hours...but it was over a couple of munros.....hard work...

    I cycled 3 miles home from work uphill into a headwind last night and could barely function afterwards!
    I'm guessing you might be fitter than me!!!
    The trail is long and my legs are burning but I can't stop smiling.

    10 under...

    now a pair....

    and someone else says they want to join us.....so that would make 3...

    as i say..doing a 70miler this weekend as an indicator

    in a trio...if you can average 10mph...thats 10 laps in 10 hours....

    so only 3hours 20minutes each....

    I shall see you there...... look out for the bright green orange crush..
