AirSpencerToday was the 2025 Tour de Lou. I rode the metric century (100 km/62 miles) which was actually 109km (67.8 miles) and I finished the official course in 6 hours, 19 minutes. Same as last year, I believe I was the only trike on that route. Add the ride to/from the start/finish, and I rode almost 71 miles (120-ish kms) in 7 hours, 20 minutes.
I had not been on the trike since June 2024, and while I have been putting in hours on the recumbent bikes at the gym, I am hurting tonight. I would not recommend you attempt to ride this distance your first ride back on your bike or trike after an extended break.
