Completing your first century ride is a monumental milestone for any cyclist. One hundred miles is a mighty, unforgiving distance that pushes even the most experienced riders to their limits - but that doesn’t mean amateur cyclists can’t do it too. Five months ago, I signed up to UK sportive RideLondon to test that theory.
I consider myself to be a fairly committed cyclist. I commute to work on my bike, I occasionally partake in long rides at the weekend, and last year I completed my first-ever cycling tour, clocking up a hefty daily mileage along the way. Cycling 100-miles in one day though? That was uncharted territory I was curious to explore.
