Has it made a difference to your body/weight?

Well done you, Racing/touring bike i assume from the speeds. Pretty impressive.
currently trying to build my milages at the moment and not often getting quite that high on a road biased mountain bike.
Keep it up. Keep the legs spinning!

Yes, its knackered :laugh:

Seriously, I won't know if it has affected my weight etc 'til I weigh in...

Carbon road bike. The right tools make doing these kind of miles easier

I wouldn't even consider doing this kind of trip on a mountain bike!

Nicely done ... nothing like seeing those miles go down and feel that total sense of complishment. Those last few miles are always the hardest. You should one proud individual .... make sure you stretch and have an espom salt bath - or Monday morning you migt be feeling a little worse for wear. Great work ....great effort - it will pay off .... :-)

Well done Cloggsy, I have a 70 mile ride planned for saturday 18th was gonna be doing it on a fixed but as they were both stolen on friday night:mad: :sad: I may have to bring out the geared bike. Still I guess I could just do it in one gear, but with all that extra weight of cogs, shifters and derailleurs I may have to up the gear on the hills.
