I really enjoyed reading this. I liked the writing style, and the mood of the pictures gave the story a good feeling to it.

Thanks for sharing.

I am amazed that a human being can cover 100 miles in a day, even if on a bike. Awesome.

I feel like such a lazy bum!!

It's a rite of passage for some recreational riders. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_ride

It's actually very feasible; I once spent a summer riding close to 100 miles every day (and often more) and I don't consider myself extremely athletic (although I obviously got into pretty good shape that year): http://bybike.ca

He was lucky it was only Peterborough. It could have been Newcastle, or Glasgow. When you live in London everything is so busy that it becomes easy to assume that everyone else must live there too.
