Farthest Driven on a bycycle

[jeffandnicole]

In my teen years, I rode 23 miles one day, including on limited access highway (NJ 55).

[english si]

Something like 33 miles (as Google counts the ferry, where I wasn't biking, though I haven't counted the mucking around at Lyndhurst). I had a race and beat the train along Hythe Pier - free wheeled it all and had to brake quite a bit too!

fyfty kylometers, each way, so about 100 round trip.  call it 60 miles.  it was 3 hours in the morning, about 6-7 of not bicycling, then another 3-4 in the afternoon.  so I'm not sure if that counts as 30 or 60 miles.

When I was 15, I went w/a group that biked through New Brunswick (the Canadian Province) and Prince Edward Island (back when the ferry existed) for a week.  We biked 65-70 miles a day on average.

Closer to home (when I lived in the North Shore and in my latter high school years); a friend of mine & I biked from Marblehead to Essex, Essex to Georgetown and back to Marblehead in one day roughly 48 miles round-trip.

Another time we biked a Marblehead-Gloucester-Essex-Marblehead trip in one-day (about 40 miles round-trip).

The first year I was in college, I took some bike rides around the area.  I didn't have any particular routes or directions in mind.  One time from Holland down to near Hamilton, 10 miles or so one-way direct, but I didn't take M-40.  Another time I went north toward Port Sheldon and West Olive.  I just used the grid N-S and E-W roads, so I couldn't get lost.  But then the road turned to dirt, and finally sand.  And then I ended up going through a herd of cows that was out on the "road" - I was pushing my bike by that time.

101 miles, San Jose to Altamont Pass and back, annoyed at turning 30.

Most recently: 72 miles, around Lake Tahoe

[SignGeek101]

Only about 21-22 km (13.7 mi). Mind you it was a hot day.

[Rothman]

100 km (62.1 miles) -- It was a Cache Valley (Utah) bicycle event about twenty years ago.

[catch22]

Eight miles, all the way around Michigan's Mackinac Island on M-185.

Was this in Alanland?

I've done several 15 mile jaunts from Portland to Gresham and back, and a nasty 20-25 mile each way from Portland to PCC Rock Creek once.

Since this one is back from the dead I'll chime in.

245 miles, August 2011. Second most behind that is 181 (with a dozen over 150) so it's an outlier.

Just finished up 91 today.

I've clocked in two rides that were about 20-21 miles.  The first was a round trip from DE 24 / 5 (in Oak Orchard) to DE 1 and back (in the driving rain).  The second was a couple of loops between Newark and Ogletown using an assortment of DE 2, 4, 72, 273, Red Mill Road, Harmony Road, and Old Ogletown Road.

I've biked Batavia to Oswego, IL, and back. And Batavia to Crystal Lake, IL, and back. And Crystal Lake, IL, to the Wisconsin state line and back. Batavia to Elmhurst, IL, and back too. I think the Batavia to Crystal Lake leg was something like 100 km round trip. Between these three trips, I think I've biked much of the Fox Valley (and its bike trails).

A Mackinac Island bike ride (and clinch of M-185) could be fun. I'm looking forward to the bike trails in Casper, WY. There look to be a couple of nice ones in town.

My longest is probably my trip down the Dismal Swamp Canal Trail (old US-17), at about 17 mi round-trip.
