Trying to cycle 100 miles

This is my first attempt to cycle 100 miles in one day, in preparation for attempting to cycle the 2009 Tour de France route later this year. My task was to try and ride from my home near Milton Keynes all the way to Cambridge 50 miles away, and all the way back again.

well done mate. What kind of preperation did you do before this? I only ask because I am doing around 20 miles a day 2-3times a week and been dropped in the deep end and have a 170mile 2-day trip in 2 weeks and i'm worrying like crazy!!

Hi mate, thanks for posting, cycled from Hemel Hempstead upto Norwich last year, 123 miler, did it in 6hrs 35 mins and did the Norwich 100 this year, think stopping and stretching regulary , especially your lower back and hip flexors makes a big difference

Congrats, good luck with the Tour de France route. I live in Bedfordshire, but I'm only about 20-25 miles away from Cambridge, I'd love to cycle 100 miles in a day. I usually do at least 10 miles a day on a relatively uphill route and maybe repeated it 2-3 times of a week day and on a weekend will just cycle as much as possible. I haven't been cycling long but I like to push for the burn :P Well done once again and best of luck for France.
