100 miles on a bike - can she make it?

We wanted to achieve what would probably be our only chance of a Century ride this year. The only concern was that Wendy's previous 100 miler was 2 years ago. Would she manage it or would she require Terry's Broom Wagon?

About
I am Roy, born in 1952, Living in Lincolnshire UK (the hilly part!) and enjoying cycling more each day. In need of a double knee replacement, I still manage to knock out 150 mile rides - but at a relaxed pace! With so many YouTube channels devoted to loud, fast talking, testosterone fuelled, cycling heroes, I thought you might enjoy joining us on some of our more relaxed adventures. I say us because I am usually joined by my best cycling buddy, Wendy. Much younger than me (she makes clear), and very petite, Wendy can achieve 100 mile + rides with no trouble. We are slow mainly because we enjoy smelling the roses and stopping to seek out historical sights. This is made much easier as we both ride graves bikes - Wendy a Liv Devote and me a Planet X Tempest Titanium. We often stray from the planned route to dive off down an inviting looking track. I usually add details of the routes we take, on Strava, at the end of each video so you can ride them if you wish. Wendy is prone to bursting into song, although there's no chance of a copyright strike as she only ever remember the first verse and even then it's unrecognisable. We have ridden Edinburgh to Grantham, Coast to Coast on the The Way of The Roses and the Cantii Way in Kent. We sometimes also ride ebikes, mainly if we have things to carry. You will have gathered that we love a bit of banter and let you share in our humour, so please come along and Ride with Roy (and Wendy)

I am always seeking out new and innovative products and was the first to introduce the Tyre Glider. I am VERY selective about what I review and when I do agree to test something, I test it over a long period so I can give an honest opinion.

I am currently designing a long distance tourist route around Lincolnshire - The King John Way, and will launch this in May 2025. We are always pleased to hear from you in the comments, or you can email me at [email protected]
