You probably won't believe what I'm gonna tell you now. To look at me now at 23 stone and a lazy bustard, hard to believe that my highest mileage for cycling in a day is 118 miles on a training ride. That was cos we got lost and took a wrong turn. In 2013, at 17 stone in weight, we decided to do a charity cycle ride from John O'Groats to Lands End. Well, I did it !!! Rode every hill it threw at me and enjoyed every minute of it. I used to get to 60 miles and felt I'd just warmed up. I'm a weirdo like that. Hills killed me but on the flat I was like a BP supertanker and took some stopping.😁😁 There's a video on my channel of it. Get y'self a handlebar bag and a pack of fig rolls, keeps ya energy levels up and you can eat on the go. I ate 2 packs a day on that trip and we did 80-90 mile days for 12 days on the trot. I just shit like a goodun. Great vid, apart from the punctures, I bet that felt great.👏👏👏👏👏👏

I've always cycled, I just fall in and out of love with it from time to time. Just a shame you can't buy time, eh? I use dried figs in my flapjack, a great energy source. Looking to do caernarfon to cardiff soon as a warm down from the Fred Whitton.
