Glad I did it, but feeling the effects now. Tomorrow is going to be painful!

Longest ride before this one was last year, and that was 64 miles, so a fairly big jump

Anyone got a first time century planned this summer?

Well done!

I'm hoping to get one in this year but other commitments may put a spanner in the works.

I did my only century ride last year. Congratulations on yours. I felt like it was a rite of passage and I was quite proud of myself.

Next challenge; Alpe d'Huez / Mont Ventoux laugh

Nice one for riding to and from the startline to make it a century.
I did the Classic too today, man I hurt, not done more than 42 miles since my only century last october.
Despite the aches that was a cracking course.

Well done. I'm doing a century this summer, did 87 last week and have 100 miles sportive next month but will probably do one before that.

Good effort.

I was supposed to be doing my first 100 miler this year (my 40th year) and possibly a triathlon, but this PITA broken elbow that is taking way too long to fix put paid to that.

So next year I'm determined to do one, and possibly even a Bedford to Brussels ride that we (colleagues who live in Belgium and myself) keep talking about but never arranging.

Nice one!

I've got my first century in July, followed by the London to Brighton night ride the following weekend.

My first century will be the London 100 in August.

I did 86 miles of the route the other week and the last hour was a bit of a struggle from a mental point of view.

Likewise. Unless I manage to do one in training for the above...
