Just done my first century as well (km !) - ended up at 112km in 4hrs 50. Basically one complete circuit of the island (Singapore) at 32c in 80% humidity.
Chuffed to bits.

Well done. You must have drunk a small lake doing that!

What challenge do people set themselves after a century? I've done two now and so need another milestone. Other than signing up for the Fred Whitton next year of course

Depends... Metric century, or a proper one? ;-)
If you've done 100km, next milestone is 100 miles... After that... 200k IMO!:-)

Proper one. And one of those had a few hills

Good lad! Got to be 200 clicks then! :-)

Just done mine. Chuffed to bits. Did 165km in 6hrs 1min and did an extra 6km getting to and from the event, so a total of 171km. It'll be interesting to see how I feel tomorrow.

Did The Old 240 with a mate last weekend - his first event over 200km. Was cracking fun.

Doing the Vineyard, Windmills & Moss 200 with a couple of mates who've never done more than 100km next weekend. Should be fun.

I did an ironman so I swam 2.5 miles first then ran a marathon after.

I'm hoping to do over 500 miles in under a week in a trip through France next year so need to do some training.

Current thoughts are that I've got family in Chester and the Lakes. 200+ miles up to Chester in a couple of days. 300 miles to Windermere in less than three hopefully. My thoughts are that it might be a bit easier if there's something to do at the end of it rather than just a nice boost on the year to date stats. It will be harder to sort short notice if the weather is good or bad though.

I was driving back from Cornwall last weekend through what looked like what was going to be a day long downpour. There were two guys on touring bikes slogging up the A30 presumably doing LEJOG - if you have it planned and the weather blows it's going to hurt.

I am currently researching doing LEJOG next Summer but aiming for a quick time rather than leisurely. How about that for something bit longer???

It's PBP next year, still time to get the training in for early year qualifying rides

Unfortunately the other half only let's me have two cycling holidays per year so Tenerife (I do enjoy the hot slog up Mt Tied from the coast) and LEJOG already pencilled in 2015. PBP looks very interesting down the line though!
