I always imagined my first century ride would be somewhere scenic. And with other riders.

But the challenge of this century - the 100 Miles of Nowhere - is that it has to be on rollers, your trainer, or the smallest route possible. I chose rollers.

If you're inspired by this ride, donate to the Fat Cyclist's Livestrong page. That's what it's all for kids! Win, Susan!

Music: The Killers cover of Joy Division's "Shadowplay"
Visit fatcyclist.com for inspiration daily. WIN SUSAN!

And no, I did not eat all that food on the day. Particularly the 100 mile marker chocolate pudding (which was supposed to represent chocolate GU, but I couldn't find any)

    OK, I've watched this video four times. It was that good. You captured the event perfectly.
  • Noodle plus 6 months ago
    I relive it whenever I watch it. Which I think is good...

    Wish you had told me you were doing this. I could have dropped by at Mile 50 with a little cheering flag and some Gatorade to dump on your head.
  • Noodle plus 6 months ago
    Mile 99.9. That's when I needed that. And you could have come up to the roof with me. I discovered we have furniture up there!

    I can't imagine riding 8 hours on rollers, congratulations, great job on the video.
  • Noodle plus 6 months ago
    Thanks Steve. I am kind of dreading rainy days in case I have to ride them again.

    But glad to have done it!

    Awesome. Not sure which is more impressive - The editing of the video or the ride itself. You can never go wrong with Joy Division!

    I'm impressed. I have never ridden a trainer for that *far*!

    You have prooved once again that you are awesome. I most impressed by the fact you still had the energy to edit that so damn well.
  • Noodle plus 6 months ago
    Well, I did all the editing the day after. Sitting down in a chair for 8 hours is much easier than on a bike seat, believe me!

    I'm inspired. But I'm lazy. And someone stole my bicycle. Both of them, actually.

    Way to go Cricket!

    That sucks! What kind of neighborhood are you living in, with the bike stealin' and the being shot at thing. Time to move. :)

    Was wondering what 100 miles to nowhere meant... but now I see it was a long and deep journey into oneself. Cleverly done!
  • Noodle plus 3 months ago
    Thanks! It was a deep journey... into a pint of Guinness at the end.
