Managed 103 miles today, does this mean that I am no longer a beginner :mrgreen:

See ride here http://app.strava.com/activities/59248641 Very happy, hopefully I will get round the London-Surrey 100 in under 7 hours which is my target.

    Well done, sir! As it happens, I'm a Chinnorite as well, and am doing my first 100 in a couple of weeks. :-)

    Congratulations. A big milestone!

    I did my first hundred miler in December, first 200k in January, First 300 km ride last month and my first 400 km is coming up on Saturday.
    I still don't really know how to index and adjust my gears properly although my bodging has improved. So in many ways I still feel like a beginner. But come so far in a year nevertheless.

    What constitutes experience can mean many things. And besides, you can still post here to aid 'real' beginners.

    With all these riders doing their first 100 milers these days I'll have to do mine ...

    OP - nice one - you have the right to feel chuffed :) - also, like the way you did 103 - just to make sure?! ;)

    Nice one mate. Lots of climbing there and on the saddle for so long. I haven't done a 100miles yet and not even done 50 yet but being on the saddle for so long didn't you get kinda bored???
