[QUOTE 3088580, member: 9609"]200 mile is a massive distance, have you considered how far that actually is? it is a very very long way and you have just done it on a bike, so is a hundred and that is only half the distance, I recently took the train from lockerbie down to penrith and cycled back, that is only 50 mile, and as i sat on the train watching all the fields wizz past I kept thinking to myself, I have made some massive miscalculation I can't possibly do this on a bike.
just amazing how far its possible to travel on a bke.
As for my starva .... my phones a bit old for out like that. lol[/QUOTE]
I had a similar worry about misculculation when I went to pick bike up from Exeter, riding back with no pads, no shoes etc. Just a helmet and backpack all the way to GLOUCESTER!!! Lmao all turned out fine though, 4 hours on a windy train turned out to be 70 odd miles and survived.
I guess 200 miles is rather a lot. But so is 100. But I'm looking at a 300 miler already. For no reason at all. Got to try and stay focused.
It is truly amazing what people can do! I personally find it enchanting seeing people accomplish unimaginable goals. Everything is started with a first step
