Nah, I don't think /anyone /who's ridden a 100 miler would ever admit that. For many on this forum, even STARTING a 100 is too difficult, let alone COMPLETING one.

First of all you have to finish a ride to "top 10." Many a folks have top 10'ed a 100 because not many that started it finished it. Think about what that means. Then there is the fact that not many people even get to a 100. While I think that there are some things that should be considered consolidating all the distances - like lifetime miles - the comment Frank is responding to is pretty much over the top.


My suggest is before anyone ever makes a comment like that is they go out and start a 100. After that we will talk.
