How far have you ridden in Q1? Where could you have ended up if you put all your miles/kms end to end? (No circular routes back home please, but you can cycle across water :D .)

There is a "radius from UK postcode" plotter at http://www.freemaptools.com/radius-from-uk-postcode.htm. Key in your postcode and distance and it will show you your radius on a Google Map.

OR

http://www.freemaptools.com/radius-around-point.htm if you have done more than 999 miles or if you're starting outside the UK (this one works in km too).

I've managed to ride the equivalent of Warrington to Geneva (about 970km).

    What a bizarre tool (err, not you btw Ands :) ).

    I got to Nantes (helped by my starting location) and I kind of wish I was there on my bike now...

    Oh! Try this one. Doesn't seem to be a distance restriction on this one:

    1123 km, not as much as I'd hoped due to all the snow. So I could have got to Barcelona, Napoli or Copenhagen (road distance). But I am starting closer to Geneva than Warrington.

    Valencia, Palermo or Gdansk as the crow flies.

    Just clicked over 1500 km before the end of March.

    Mind you, I lost a few weeks to the minor inconvenience of heart surgery in February.

    2383 m for me (and 265m running :cry: )

    That would get me from York to somewhere far off and very warm. The radius tool doesn't do 4-fig numbers!

    {Edit} - with the new map, I can get to:

    Canada
    or
    Iraq
    or
    Saudi Arabia
    or
    Kazakhstan
    or
    Luxor, in Egypt
    or
    Newfoundland
    or
    just short of Nova Scotia (I think with my user name, this is the one to go for!)
    Commute: Langster -Singlecross - Brompton S2-LX

    I've updated the OP with another link for distances >999 miles, or starting outside the UK.

    Get from North London to the far north of Sweden, or down to Tenerife
    Dalston --> Canary Wharf, and all pubs inbetween

    Done about 550 miles which would roughly get me from my house in Liverpool to Ullapool in the north of Scotland. Quite impressed cos whenever I do that journey by car I split it into 2 days cos its so far.

    I did more miles in a v. icy, exam packed January of 2009, than I have done so far in 2010 :cry:
    I like bikes...

    35 miles in total - would get me to work (i.e. York). However, I'm glad to say that a mere 13.5 hours into Q2 and I've already equalled my total for the whole of Q1 - and by about 7pm I'll have doubled it!

    I have done 2050 miles and that would see me get from Newcastle to Kazakstan heading east, or to Algeria and Libya heading south. Just shy off landing in USA heading west. Or to Syria heading south east

    657 miles.

    That would get me close to the French/Spanish border from Manchester. Berlin, Malmo & Goteberg are all more or less on the perimeter of the circle. Or I could get to the Faroe Islands. Mmm, Egypt... :wink:

    Last year's total distance would have got me to Warsaw, Budapest, Rome, Palma, or smack-bang middle of Iceland.

    Cool site!

    Oh dear! My reward for doing only three rides this year is a trip South to Hull, or Manchester or Liverpool.

    Hardly a sun-seeking excursion!

    On the other hand, the only reason I have gone that far at all is to meet the demands of the Metric Century Challenge on these pages. Each of my rides was 100km or more!

    Munich or Marseille but think I might tire before I reach either of them.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.
