Nice thread. While we’re about it, I’ll slip myself onto this list. Ironically, though I now have a 36er, and got 1200 miles into it in its first month or so*, I don’t think I’ve ever hit 100 on it in a day. Nearest would be 94 I think. But I did get ~103 miles in a day on my 29er, at the start of this summer. That was due to having the idea of visiting friends in London, from Bath, and saving on train fare. Total time around 16 hours, though it might have been more statistcally impressive without losing the A4 several times in Reading and Slough. Never bother riding through Slough. It’s called that for a reason.
No detrimental physical effects apart from a healthy leaden-ness when finally getting to sit down on the Tube (the train variety) for the last part of the journey. Airseat worked fine.
That “100 in 10 on 1” sounds like a fun thing to do. Maybe more like Hardcore Silliness to try in December, but then again…
