[RBW] Re: What's the longest you have ridden on your Rivendell period?

[Eric Peterson]

PBP, twice, completed each time.
2007 - Blue Rambouillet, rear rack with rack trunk.
2015 - Rodeo with Blue Accents, front rack with Gilles bag.

Both bikes rode very well for the whole distance. 25s front and rear, 
Schmidt hub. 
Also completed the Crater Lake 1000K in 2014 on an Orange Rambouillet which 
I keep in Seattle.

Plus lots of shorter brevets on all three bikes.
Blue Rambouillet was totalled in 2008 when hit by a car, bought the orange 
one shortly thereafter when it appeared on Seattle's Craigslist, karma I 
guess.

[lum gim fong]

 One of the cool things about long rides is discovering what you can do under 
bad circumstances. So if you ride 12 hours in the rain you discover that you 
can do it which gives you confidence next time you're out riding in the rain. I 
knew it won't Fiero riding in the rain and whatever temperature you happen to 
be in at the time because you'll know what works in that environment I had a 
put off successfully.

[Garth]

  On a light note, I cannot help but think of stories of yore , like "when 
I was a child we used to walk 10 miles to school each way, through driving 
 rain,  frozen wind blown sleet stabbing your eyes, sub zero temperatures, 
and umpteen feet of snow which we blazed trail through".   Of course, each 
individual story had their own unique set of circumstances, always with a 
theme of enduring and overcoming a life of hardship, with panache and the 
flame of embellishment. Yeah ! !

Re: [RBW] Re: What's the longest you have ridden on your Rivendell period?

[Patrick Moore]

Well, that certainly leaves me safe!

But this:

Our Paleolithic ancestors

did
lots of walking, with occasional sprints, but not extended running. They
would run long enough to escape the clutches of a tiger, but there were no
marathons happening across the African savanna.

And their source for this very personal information is what, exactly? The
Bible?

I've read in 18th century settlers' accounts how Indians would run a good
part of the day to run deer until it could run no more; in other words,
they outlasted it, just as wolves do. One such account was by a farm boy,
18th century, who was captured by and lived with a NE tribe for several
years. I also read how, much later, late 20th century, a Navajo priest, 70
years old, set off after a visit, at about 10 pm, to run to another
settlement some 20 or 30 miles away.

And of course the Zulu impis were notorious or celebrated, depending
whether you were Cetshwayo* or Gen. Chelmsford, for covering 40 miles in a
day.

And I've personally seen little, 5'6", 125 lb Sherpas carrying 100+ lb
loads (5 big kerosene tins on a heavy wooden frame) all day up mountain
tracks at 16K feet -- while whistling and smoking.

So, while I rather think these "experts" are on to something, some of their
"evidence" is, as someone cruelly put it, "Just So Stories."(Unless it
comes from Scripture.)

*Now there was a man who looked like a ruler! A cruel bastard, but an
imposing one -- far more so than the effete Chelmsford.

[Dave Johnston]

Several years before I owned a Rivendell I discovered that long hard days 
in the saddle just wasn't for me, that was also before I discovered Brook 
saddles and handlebars above the saddle, so discomfort was part of the 
experience. Of course no use trying for more now that I realize that long 
hard days aren't even good for you:
http://fitness.mercola.com/sites/fitness/archive/2013/08/23/extreme-endurance-exercise.aspx
 


So anyway longest ride on a Riv: Somewhere around 70 miles on Heron 
Touring, as part of a multi day ride.
I do love an all day ramble with lots of photo ops, ice cream stops, BSing 
and checking places out. Maybe 35 miles in 6hrs is about right for a 
rambleneur.

Depends on how you define "one sitting". Tours are clearly not a single 
ride. Some people treat a 1200K as a single ride, i.e. no sleep breaks. Of 
course most people get off the saddle even riding a century, at least to 
refill bottles.

As for the original question, I have ridden the Gold Rush Randonnee 1200K 
on my Romulus, albeit with two overnight sleep breaks, not counting my 
attempt at a nap the first afternoon following the night start.

If we're talking about more than one sitting the longest ride I've been on

[El Sapo]

I was looking for somewhere to crow about the 40+ mile ride I completed

The conditions were perfect. it's usually a 16 or an 11 mile ride for me 
when I go out depending on the wind. Decided early that I was going for 40 
and unfortunately bragged about it about 8 miles into the 
ride. That motivated me to finish. 

It's not the distance for me it's finding the time to do it.

OK...100km once on my allrounder and a couple of  85 km outings;  similar 
longish miles on my road. 85 km is my max comfortable distance right 
now...but when I retire, maybe that will increase

I'm impressed by all you mega-milers...intellectually the brevets appeal 
but not sure I could handle any above populaire distance 

in the mid to late eighties I was good for 7ish hour centuries including 
breaks and could tour with camping gear for a week at the time in 
relatively flat but windy Manitoba

Hopefully PBP 2019 on a custom 650b Riv!  Going with connectorless SON hub
and internal wiring for a rear dyno light.  My 54 cm Rambouillet frame is
on sale--anyone looking?

1200K, Rambouillet, Boston-Montreal-Boston randonee 2004. Tough ride, 25mm 
tires didn't do well on New England's pavement.
1200K, coupled Bleriot, Paris-Brest-Paris randonnee 2007. Terrific ride on 
Grand Bois Cypress 32mm tires, even on chipseal.

Man, 1,000km, that's a long, long ride :)

I have a couple 200-225km rides on my Atlantis, all on dirt. That's plenty 
long enough for me right now.

Re: [RBW] Re: What's the longest you have ridden on your Rivendell period?

[Patrick Moore]

50 or so miles for me, a short-haul, wimpy sort of rider. But it was hilly
and windy! And all in the (at the time) 75" gear!

Recently: 30, also hilly, also fixed, but used the 67" uphill and the 76"
downhill. Long ago: 3-4 hour rides up toward the Rift Valley, fast in the
big (48t) ring on my racy Raleigh Sprite (drops, Brooks, half stepped with
Delrin, but I used only the 48) going all out all the time until I bonked
so bad under the equatorial sun that I saw white spots on the road -- never
too water or food.

Tim -- too bad about the tire problem. Kudos to y'all who ride so many
miles, on Rivs or otherwise.

Aside: When I ordered the gofast, I meekly explained to Grant, "For me, 30
miles is a long ride." He replied, "But it *is* a long ride!" I felt better.

Patrick Moore, soon out to do another short 20 miler or so on the errand
Riv or, if you like, adding a 19 mile detour to a sub 1 mile grocery run,
in ABQ, NM.

Might well be of equal value, but it's pretty unlikely the riding after 
200 continuous miles would be "the same" as riding 30 miles especially 
because of the condition.

[RBW] Re: What's the longest you have ridden on your Rivendell period?

[ascpgh]

165 miles on my Rambouillet from Madisonville, KY to Chester, IL. Noodles, 
B17 special, TA Zephyr 46/36/26, three bottles in cages and a Nelson 
Longflap with about 12-15 pounds of stuff, riding across the country 
(east-west) with three others.

It was a clear sunny day in July, over 100° before midday, very humid. 
Cicadas roaring in the state forests for the last hours. My cohorts 
faltering in the last 30 miles, they felt beat up by the ride, all were on 
Serrotta steel bikes fit up by the same guy with DA racing triples, bars 
below saddles. They pace lined behind me from Carbondale to Chester, I was 
still comfortable and felt like my legs had some energy. Grant said this 
was what kind of riding inspiring the bike's design. 

Been on the bike every day since Yorktown, VA and this was the day that 
made obvious the difference that the parameter of comfort added in 
performance. I already saw that my bike climbed (and descended) the 
Appalachian Mountains better, but until this day I thought I was just a bit 
stronger of a rider than the others. Grant said it would be comfortable on 
long rides and reassured me that the gearing was perfect. 

Not bad for a bike that arrived the night prior to my wife driving me to 
Yorktown. I had to take the other bike out of the car, assemble the Ram and 
ride a few miles to get the saddle and bars right then reload the car. 
"New" doesn't even cover how much of a frank test ride this was. Did I say 
Grant was right? He was.

PBP, 2015, on my Hilsen. I was a DNF at Villaines on the return (I learned that 
a tire boot will not save an extra light Compass tire with a sidewall cut) so 
just over 1000k. In the first 24 hours I rode about 277 miles, which was my

[Don Compton]

I am not a long distance rider, but I  rode the Wine Country Century twice 
on my old Ram, and 4 times on my old Roadeo that I sold to someone on this 
forum. At 65, I am enjoying my new Roadeo, but shorter distances and less 
hills. I have ridden lots of centuries over the years and wish I had 
discovered Rivendell much earlier. 
For me, Rivs are the best bikes from both a handling viewpoint and 
comfort.I think the stable handling takes pressure off the rider's core.

[Matt B.]

I rode mine about 135 miles in a day which definitely was all I could 
handle physically, not because the bike was uncomfortable. It was fully 
loaded at the time though so it was a long, long day.

Re: [RBW] Re: What's the longest you have ridden on your Rivendell period?

[Steve Palincsar]

The Flatbread 200K, the one I rode last Saturday.  Weather was terrible 
in 2015, was it not?


I missed it in 2014 and 2015, but some folks last week during the ride 
were commenting on how different the weather was this time - sunny, 
clear skies, up to low 60s during the warmest part of the day, and 
except for around 40 miles, relatively mild winds (for the Eastern Shore).
