Calais to Briancon (well a bit further to campsite) about 650 miles, including the Col du Lautaret in a biblical storm. Was tired and stiff, but managed to get to the pub that night.

I have done 15 hours riding, only having a drink and snack at fuel stops overall the round trip was about 950 miles, am i the winner of most miles in a day then? tiring and makes you hungary try to keep to that pace.

im gonna do the trip from lands end to JOG at some point next year think thats about 800 one way, prob split it over 4 days. uptil now most was about 200 but i felt fine after. its the ones in the country lanes that get me, 100 miles of country lanes is knackering compared to 100 miles of motorway.
