158 miles! Wow! The best I've ever managed was 65.5 a few months ago on a boring afternoon. Two weekends ago I did 60 miles one afternoon, then 17 miles in 64 minutes the next day.

I am "Circumferentially-Challenged" (6 feet tall, 205lbs), but I believe I'm pretty fit. Some of the people where I work look a lot slimmer than me, but would need to take a nap if they drove 60 miles!

It's a wonderful hobby: the wind in your hair, the scent of flowers, the communion between man and finely-tuned machine.... I love it.

I've bought my wife a Spyderco Pride (street-legal under our cretinous laws :irritated); also a BM Mini-Griptilain in purple, her favourite colour. The only hassle is trying to get her to carry/remember/use them....
