Bike Ride!!!

Postby Apollo Manton » Wed Jul 28, 2010 12:11 am

SO since the reason i will not be on tonight is kind of a fun and interesting story i thought i would tell you. The closest town to me is Hettinger ND and its 27 miles. Me and 4 other friends are riding our bikes to this town. No one thinks we can do it but i hope we make it! haha pics and stories to follow! Peace fly safe!

Unless its alot of elevation change you should be able to do it fairly easy unless your a lard ass. When i was a tad younger me and my brother averaged 320 miles a week. We did have high end 21 speeds though so that made it easier. Goodluck with your ride and remember to stretch out before and after and mid way if you have to

we made it took about 2 3/4 hours but one person had a bent wheel and another popped a tire like 3 miles from our destination. It was alot of fun but you could tell everyone was tired after. I think i might make it an annual thing atleast and maybe get more friends involved. Awesome time.

I was expecting motorbike stories :roll: Kick bike, pfff, we Dutch ride those things to work every day, nothing exciting :P

I rode to the Dolomites this year, in Northern Italy, on the motorbike. Beautiful. And a 55 km roundtrip from my hotel with 3 mountain passes, hairpin hallelujah!

Edit 1: that's 34 miles, Yanks.
Edit 2: that about 9 seconds on MWD, Eve-addicts.
