Fill in the blank, /n/!

>If the longest ride of your life was less than ____, then you are a shit-tier cyclist.

My answer: 100km. A 100km ride doesn't make you a good cyclist by any means, but at least you're above the ultra-casual tier. Once you hit 150km it's mildly respectable.

384,400km

>>1063847
No one has ever done a ride that long.
>>
question is in how many hours

for instance if you do that 100km ride in 10 hours you only averaged around 10 km/h so you probably didn't even break a sweat overall
>>
>>1063850
40,075km
>>
>>1063844
I'm gonna go with 0, although if you travelled < 0 distance, I have additional questions.
Fuck your autistic judgment

A century, which is 100 miles. There's no such thing as a metric century.
>>
>>1063853
100km in 3 hours is pretty gud
>>1063861
No one has done that
>>1063869
>There's no such thing as a metric century.
Yes there is (it just isn't long enough to be respectable), fuck off
>>
>>1063871
4313km
>>
>>1063876
No one has done that either. The longest anyone has done in one go is under 2000km.
>>
The length of a ride doesn't mean shit though.
>>
>>1063844
On a flat road even my granny can ride 100ḱm. Cross the Alps on gravel paths and we talk again.

This is a macho circlejerk thread
>>
>>1063881
Okay, so then in perfect conditions you'll ride 500km? If so then cool, you're a pretty good cyclist. If not then shut the fuck up.
>>
>>1063877
>No one has done that either.

I want the Freds to leave.
>>
>>1063925
But it's true fucktard. Even in RAAM and Tour Divide they sleep before doing even 2000km. (most before 1000km)

Why don't y'all just skip the nonsense and post your FTP watts/kg instead.

hint: less than 6 makes you a fred

I did 123km over a 426 meter rise in elevation on a single speed walmart beach cruiser in nevada. Am I /n/ now?
>>
>>1063844
I just barely fit that criteria. What's the absolute shortest a road ride should be? I always feel like I had an incomplete ride if it was below 30 miles unless I'm riding fixed.
>>
>>1064372
>caring about muh power
Distance is where it's at

>>1064372
idk what ftp even means

>am I /n/
no
>>1064404
>What's the shortest a road ride should be
Anything is better than nothing. If you only have a few minutes, go ride around the block. But as far as I'm concerned:
0-30km: not a ride
30km-50km: very short ride
50km-90km: short ride
90km-150km: medium ride
150km-200km: fairly long ride
200km-250km: long ride
250km+: quite long ride

>>1064458
>single speed walmart beach cruiser

Fuck off fred, that's /n/ as fuck.

i did 100k in 4 hours on a full-sus trail bike sporting 26 psi minions.

roadies: not even once.
>>
Who knows. I think what separates shit-tier from pro-tier cyclists is the ability to maintain high speeds or sustaining a climb over a long period of time.

Anyone can do X amount of distance if they go slow enough, if they're on flats, or the have good winds.

Anyhoo, my favorite numbers are: 100miles or 100 kilometers

Walmart BSO aren't /n/-approved, deal with it

Says you, Fred.

>>1063844
Less than full day of riding.

This does not include going to beach and sunbathing most of the time etc.

You get to stop only for wc, dinner and few minutes sightseeing at the destination. Then you head back to return right before sleep.
>>
>>1064512
I did that for 20 days straight, beat me motherfucker.
