Who has completed a 100 mile ride?

My wife said that when she saw my first 20" uni now she is learning on that very uni and when my new ones get unpacked she now says well that’s cool.

Hilarious! it’s the addiction of one wheel! Although you make it sound funny, your wife has my respect, as I am sure, yours also.

General public ofen say to me, ‘Why do you do it?’ I say, ‘It’s the sensation of balance’. It is the ‘one-ness’ of balance with the unicycle that does not appear in other forms of pedalling transport’.

Good luck to your wife, and you, with your practice!

I’m jealous of you. My wife will NEVER try to ride. If it is up to her, I’d sell them all. :frowning:

I had been riding a 36er for about a year, then spent about 4 months seriously training for the distance. I got to where 50-60 mile rides were (relatively) comfortable and then had a chance to complete a century as part of a large organized ride.

But why did you do it? Because you want to prove to yourself you could ride such a long time? How much more of a kick does it give when you can already ride 60 miles? You’ve proven that you can ride. At some point, riding a uni becomes as easy as riding a b*ke. The only difference being that riding a uni gives a better feeling of course, which makes peeps addicted. Nevertheless I will never feel this urge to ride 100 miles or 100kms for that matter.

Adding myself to the list. I had the pleasure to complete in the Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge last year in November and becoming the first women who rode around Lake Taupo on a unicycle in one day.

Can I say yes but over 4 and a half days?

161km Brisbane valley rail trail = 100.0041miles. Off road, too much grass etc. Dodging cow poop etc.

I would have done it a bit faster but my partner wanted to not cover so much ground each day (he had to carry camping gear on his bike).

Sounds like a nice adventure - but it’s clearly not what this thread is referring to.

I agree with @finnspin , this thread is referring to the one shot 100 miles rides.

Still impressive though. I’d say if it counts to you it counts.

Don’t let the standards of others take away the pride of your accomplishments

I’m going to try for my first 100km uni ride this Sunday if I can on my 29". 160km on a uni would be difficult to do on anything other than a guni or 36" for me even with a 15kmh average pace on my 29.

Longest bike ride for me before COVID was 107 so depending on how I feel I might try for that.

Yes of course, that’s really impressive, what I meant was just that it didn’t count as a century (100 miles in one shot). But it is definitly impressive.

Good luck for that, 100 km on a uni is already really long and physically demanding.

Thanks! Longest ride to date on the uni is 75km so it’ll be nice to see if I can do that extra bit

Hey… That could be an interesting topic to have, with a table and set as a wiki.

There could be potential to add some columns about wheel size, terrain (a few basic categories), and a link to Strava or some mapping application.

It could let you compare what the other numbers for 24" on rough gravel or lots of climbs are vs exclusively guni/29/36 riding that may dominate it.

Sounds like a good idea to me too
