Finally completed my first century, did 110 miles in 05:50:51 and pass the 100 mile mark at 05:20 dead, i am really chuffed didnt take much to eat as well only three cereal bars and about 1.5 litres of sis electrolites, also managed to get sunburnt, could believe how many times i waved or said good morning to other cyclists today, also thanks for the tow from 5 guys near rochford, one had a very nice cervelo, the other a sky pro pinnarello dogma and one of the other chaps had an s-works!

Good work, pretty rapid last 10 miles as well!

That's pretty rapid for a century. Nicely done.

Edit: Hang on, you're doing 220 miles a week. What took you so long to get around to a century :roll:

Nice one, very rapid (some of us are chuffed when we do a ton in under eight hours riding time...). Odd indeed that you're doing 220 a week and not got a century in the bag before!

Cheers all the problem I had was time and motivation could never force myself to do it its yhe same when going for a sportive jist always talk myself out of it. Just glad ive managed to do it

When you're dong 220 miles during the work week, why would you want to spend your weekend clocking a further 110?

Very fast last 10 miles considering you had just done a century, are you sure about the timing? Did you save yourself up for the last 10 miles or were they mostly downhill?

Sharkyssurfers

it was pretty flat, wasnt sure how i would be in the ride, so quite surprised i think there might of been a slight tailwind the last 10 miles but it could of been the excitement of actually completing the 100

That is fast.

I have done 100 miles in 4 hours 46mins but I was using aero bars and wearing a pointy hat and a race number. Last time I did 100 miles as a "road ride" it was over 6 hours.
