Here is a list from Harold looking at another sort of distance cycling near to his heart - the 24 hour time trial. The first part below, from his accompanying e mail message, helps set it up.

Consistency
by Harold Bridge

In sorting through some rubbish I was about to discard I came across this list I had typed up. I added some Kms references as well as Christine Robert's record. For further reference: the men's 1997 comp record is 525 miles (840kms) & my best was 409.8 (659.5) in 1954.
