Well, I've got nothing on Kelly or Brodie.
Oddly enough, all my longest rides have been in mountainous terrain...
112 at IMLP
~105 Assault on Mt. Mitchell
~103 Blue Ridge BrutalWhile preparing for IMLP I rode a couple of 100 milers on gently rolling hills around home and a few 50 - 70 milers in the mountains of VA.
Nothing longer than 50 on flat ground.

70 miles in North Carolina (very near Blue Ridge, but not on it).
It was raining, I was alone, stiff and beat up from a crash, on a borrowed bike.
Learned a lot that day, turned out to be one of the best rides of my life.

May sound silly. I'm a runner, but I'll give you my 2-cents. I biked 16-miles out/back on the Creeper Trail for my longest ride of 32-miles. It's mostly flat - Rails to Trail. It was a couple of years ago. I wasn't doing anything much. I got really lazzzzy there for awhile. I pushed it pretty hard, and when I finally finished my legs felt like they were going to fall off, lol. ( : But very true.The Creeper Trail stays packed in the Spring & Summer.

Hilliest - Climb to the Cloud bike century 5500 ft of cllimbing - Actual distance 107.3
This year I hope to complete my 20th Bike Century in a row. But to be perfectly honest, there are people out there who ride 200-300 w/o issue.
Take care

I rode in the 24 Hours of Booty last year, here in Charlotte, NC and I rode 201 miles in one day. My longest ride prior to that was 45.
I call it my "marathon" because, while I hope to one day run a marathon, reality says I most likely will not. I'm a cyclist, not a runner.

Hi everyone,
Back in July, me and a bunch of dads from our boys football club did a fundraising ride.
We went from Wembley Stadium, North London, to Titchfield near the coast in Hampshire, it was 94 miles thereabouts and there were a couple of big hills about 60 miles in as we hit the South Downs... that's it for me apart from 60 miles in training, so it's

-0...although let me tell you after 60 miles those hills felt like mountains to me!!

100 km (many years ago). It was a road course that I completed on a mountain bike.
The post-event food was provided by the Outback Steakhouse. I took one look at it, thought how disgusting it would be to eat a dead animal, and never ate meat again.
I have run / walked over 100 km in a single day several times.

I cycled from one end of Cuba to the other and on one particular day, I think we did about 80 miles. I now live in Cambodia and with a mate, we did 93kms on dusty back roads around Phnom Penh a few days ago (31 Dec).
The reason I mention the latter was that just like in Cuba, I finished both days with my testicles in such a state of disrepair that for a couple of days after I was singing alto soprano!!
