Completed my longest ride ever and first century

Just completed a 250km (156 miles) ride. My longest ride up to this point was 105km and I didn’t believe I could push my limits this far.

This ride started at 3AM, -3degrees (26 Fahrenheit) complete darkness and fog for 6 hours and I hit the wall so many times. We don’t have much daylight in Scotland so it was a race against the sun to reach the end in time for a train back home.

I am posting in the hope that it helps others push beyond any ceilings or limits they might have set for themselves.

I used an aluminium Canyon Endurace, self supported with several frame bags.

Very happy to discuss fueling , bike fit, motivation etc.
