70 miles in a day but my body hates me for it. I have two sore knees and will have to invest in some hardcore knee supports for future rides. Could not have done another long distance ride the next day (4 miles was far enough).

Friends of mine are talking about cycling Land’s End to John O’Groats (one end of Great Britain to the other – about 900 – 1100 miles depending on route). I’d have to put some serious work into training before thinking about that. By the way the record is apparently 41 hours! We reckon on three weeks.
