Paris Chartres takes me 6hours to do 100km (60 miles) and I stop stretch, eat and drink every hour - thats not racing and with a few hills thrown in to boot - my next ride Paris - Orleans ~140km I will build up slowly checking out different routes, train time tables etc - it not the distance per se - it being stuck on horrible road with articulated lorries roaring up your arse - or not knowing where the nearest train is if you have a problem or have run out of gas - I am the owner of a very badly fitting pair of XL cycle shorts which make so much of a difference that I am planning to buy a proper air one of these days
