My brother signed him and me up for a cycling event on the first of June. The distance is 240 km, about 150 miles :scaredas:

I hope you have a good bike...... when you go beyond 60 km, it matters exponentially. I went from Zwolle to Groningen a while ago with my brother, and half way through we switched bikes (i had a somewhat old though decent one, he had a great one). Man, it felt like the difference of having the wind against you to in your back.

I have a good bike, not top level (Specialized and such) but good enough. I've done distances up to 110 km / 70 miles with it (Leeuwarden - Stavoren - Leeuwarden). I'll buy a new saddle before June though, that's very important.
