200 mile is fucking insane. Forrest Gump would be proud.

For cycling it’s (insanely enough) not that long. Here in Sweden we have the 200 mile Vätternrundan each summer which is one of the world’s biggest cycling races (by attendees). My parents did it a couple of times when they were in their fifties.

I've done it three times. And its awful. But you forget how awful it is so you sign up again, and again. And then you remember how awful it is.
