Just got home from a 3 day ride from NYC to Boston with a group of messengers from NY.
First day was around 120 miles from Harlem to Hartford, Connecticut.
Second day was around 80 miles to Providence, Rhode Island (damn the hills in between)
Day three was a speedy 50 miles into BostonAll in all a lot of fun.

More maths fail.
That's hardcore doing 65 miles on a 22" gear.
(The gear size in inches is the equivalent diameter of an ordinary wheel, not the circumference. So one revolution of the cranks on a 67" gear moves you PI*67" or 210.5" along the road.)
59700 / pi =~ 19,000 revolutions

You're just trying to spin your failure at LEL positively.

hehe you said "spin" hehehe
I wanna do some audax.

Although Audax is non-competitive someone still has to win them...
First home in LEL was a German in about 65 hours. He (and a bunch of Italians) knocked off the first 714km to Dalkeith in 24 hours.
Remember:
Sportive = Pretend you're racing.
Audax = Pretend you're not. -

180 miles in 4 days (Highland Odyessy). 67 miles in 5 hours, teastops included is the furtherst I've done in one go. Normally squeeze a 21 mile route in an hour dead once a week and try and get a 36 mile route (approx. 2 hours) in at the weekend.

Unfortunately not, in this instance.
Definitely a weaker brew. 0% by volume, distinctly lacking in body and taste, but cheap at half the price!

80 miles, with 75 gear inches, a track bike and a 15 mile hour head wind the entire route, not fun.

Rather shocked to see the distances people have been going.
I've only got a MTB, which I always ride with 44:14. Probably have only done 70miles max,
I wish my crankset went higher, I can't really get any faster than 24mph (I think) on a flat, and going down hill is annoying because you mainly have to just roll down, peddling doesn't make much difference unless you really do some bursts of speedy rpm.I really need more teeth.
I'll get a fixed one day.

35 miles :-) I know it's pathetic, but one like this
From the kitchen to the front room on a Fuji Track Pro. No, didn't have any puncture despite the flint and grit in the corridor.
ps. and 3 miles with a single bed mattress held over my head with one arm.
Chapeau Greenbank :) I see Jo Wood rode fixed aswell 72" gear.
Did a French guy ride fixed aswell? Thiery Miton I think.
