50 Miles, along the Erie Canal in Rochester, NY
30 along basinstoke canal. Didnt have a clue where we were going. Popped out on a road and asked a women wher we were, then turned around and went back again. Made the mistake of stopping at a shop for a drink on the way back, hurt like hell after that
Longest I can remember was to Heathrow airport and back. Although we've probably been similar / further distances along basingstoke canal alsoit runs real close to my house

Longest I ever did was 150 miles on my brothers road bike. Was a while back when I was really into mountain biking. Took me 7.5 hrs and my back at the end of it was killing me - nice radox bath sorted me out.
Used to do 80 mile run once or twice a week. The 100 was always a nice acheivement.

got you all beat
170 miles, an obscure route from cardiff to crowthorne, in order to give my then gf a rose for valentines day (couldnt afford a train). took an entire night - set off after lectures at ~5.30, got in at 7am.
i'd be very surprised if any non-pro rider can actually do 150 miles in 7.5 hours - thats not much off tour de france pace. i can hold 20mph for a couple of hours but no way over 7 hours without breaks.
awwww....
regularly do 30 mile rides, not so often do a huge amount more...

hughlunnon@yahoo.com | I have sigs turned off..
truely 5lab is a god.
ive recorded myself as doing 27 miles on my old speedometer, but i expect i could have easily done 3 times that on my new bike (which does not have a speedo)
this summer i plan to do ALOT of cycling since i wont have any work
I once decided to save myself the coach fare by riding home from university in Southampton to my house in SE London. Did it on a £280 mountain bike with a slick on the back and a knobbly on the front. As the crow flies it's about 80 miles but after taking the scenic route and then taking an unintentional detour in SW London I'm pretty sure I did well over 90. I set off at 11am, and got in a bit after 9pm- but I did spend the best part of an hour doing some jumps in a bombhole near Winchester after I spotted some other riders in there as I rode past
The last 10 miles were torture especially as my getting a bit lost meant I had to go over some massive hills in Streatham and Crystal Palace. I couldn't sit on the bike again for a few days afterwards either

Last 12 miles or so for me weren't too hard, it was pretty down hill after that.. which was great because we all felt like crap.
I still ache a bit today!, no where near as bad as yesterday though.
longest ive done is from rochdale to Heaton Park.... or Rochdale to Manchester
She'd better have been really gratefull for that!
