    How difficult can a 100 mile bike ride be?



    We take on the Suffolk classic ride but I may have bitten off more than I can chew!

      Hi Peter, another great video, no need to apologise. You are being very hard on yourself. I always find your videos good to watch and informative. I especially like the fact that you haven't sold out regarding sponsorship. Your workshop vids are good as quite rightly not everyone has unlimited money to spend on their bikes. Jimmy is a real animal on the the climbs and adds a lot of character to things. All the guys in the group spark off each other which is good to see. I'm sure you will get match fit for the Paris ride, unfortunately sometimes life gets in the way of what we like to do. Keep pedalling. Paul.

      i did my first and only 100 mile ride last june, 2400m elevation when i finally got home, i couldn't bend my legs to sit down, don't really fancy doing it again but my brother in law is adamant that we do it by the end of august,,, joy "stats 10mph average on 40c 700c gravel bike + rain" that was a long day, well done 🙂

      I appreciated your candour on this one Peter, even if one of your 'off days' is decidedly as impressive as that one ride a year when I'm 'on it'! It is a wake up all for me too – I find it hard to get back in to the cycling habit after even a short break and one week quickly becomes two etc. so I will also be hitting the turbo trainer after watching this – my next Sportive is all too near😳. Good luck to us both😃👍.

      Doing my first 100 with UK Cycling @ Newark in June. Its going to be a tough one for me . Up to 70 mile rides at the moment with an 80 planned for Bank Holiday Monday. I do have a 5 1/2 hr 5000ft gravel race under my belt this seasons so hopefully the training is on plan. I'm looking to get a 70m+ ride in every week now between now and June 22nd eeps!

      5:00 – ahhh Jimbo, Jimbo, Jimbo… You're a racing snake. Some of us are wider than we are tall (and we're tall believe me…) – tailwinds exist in the slightest of conditions, and also headwinds are no joke. I once looked round and found a pair of Transit tippers drafting me…

      Fella, you have a very natural, chatty style of presenting, with a nice mix of rides and tech stuff, and that's what keeps it interesting. I'm fussy about who I sub to, and I never comment unless someone actually manages to properly captivate me. As long as you continue being real, and being a personable individual as you have been, then whatever you put out will be fine. People try to put out the most shiny, polished, impossibly perfect production value-wise vlog, but the content sucks. IF you want to post a video, we'll consume it. This isn't a soap; we'll watch it when you want to give it to us; and that's just fine. You do you, don't do us, and we'll be along for the ride with you.

      Started cycling at the start of lockdown and done my first century one year late solo.. it was burtal but I still completed it , the following year I did the same route learning from my mistakes with proper fueling equipment etc I executed the 100 miles with relative ease .

      hi Peter, you all ways make great videos… Nice ride… headwinds r awful… here at Greece headwinds and high temperatures makes our ride the worst thing anyone can experience… i remember on a 100 mile ride i drank 6.5 liters of ice water because by mile 70 i had strong headwind and 35 degree temperature… at some point i realized i was fighting with the garmin why am i low speed.. i was totally confused due to metal loss.. again well done for your nice ride.. please tell us what pills your friend is on..😊😅 🤣😜😋

      Another fab video, and I suspect the answer is – not very if you have Jimmy to encourage you on 😂. The sportive I'm doing in July has bottles of non alcoholic beer waiting at the finish line, and I suspect it is a common theme with Velo 29 events. The short route I'm doing is about 48 miles with just over 1500 feet of climbing. The medium and long ones are just mental, Jimmy would love them 😂😂
