A lot - 8 hours! Because I was alone, route was up and down with 2 longer climbs and it takes me half an hour to get out of the town and another one to get back in!

121 Kms. (75 Miles), alone and non stop over a 16 Kms. (10 miles) fairly hilly circuit. It took me 3 hours and 56 minutes, it was great.

No, longest race was 102 Kms. (63 milles) in 2h 38 Min. after a 16 Km. (10 Milles) up hill TT the day before.

I got cramps in both legs after 80 Kms. (50 Milles), but I managed to finish 4'31'' after first place and pulling other extenuated competitor behind me for the last few kms.

Si, it was with my 24 pound bike and an extra 15 pounds of gear.
I personally wont drive that far. I must have been tricked into the ride...

Well, I've only been riding since August, so the farthest I've ever gone is 80 miles, but I do 60 pretty regularly. I've never gone on a ride just to see how far I could go, but if I really wanted to I could probably do 120+ with a lunch break.
