Managed to knock over 3/5's of it today and didn't even take first spot on the leader-board. It seems there was some one even more crazy than us out there today.

I am amazed he can get 230kms worth of riding out of Ibiza, having been there it is only around 30km wide (if that).

A good piece of synchronicity is that doing 500km before the end of the year will get me to my annual target, not that i'm obsessing or anything.
Back to more pressing matters, like xmas feast.
Merry xmas everybody,

Yes that pretty much sums it up perfectly. 13 hours total time including stops to refuel, regroup and of course for photo op's. 6 of us started the ride and by the end of the first 140 km loop our starting group of 6 had dwindled down to 3.drnick79 wrote: You Sir are crazy!!!

I thought I could be heading back to bed if it was pouring down this morning, but it was OK, nice in fact.f Only rain I got was coming back up Bobbin Head, but I'm pretty sure it's always raining there. Have somewhere to be soon, so happy to get 65kms out of the way:

Back on to it today. Christmas day was spent sleeping, eating and doing not much of anything else after the bid day Christmas Eve. Something a little less crazy with just a nice easy 1hr and a bit.
344 km covered 156 km to go.

hello skull,
you moved only from disco to disco when you have been here, with girls and beer? )) "joking"
Ibiza is between 70-80km long and 40km wide. without touching the 3-4 national main roads, you can ride at least a net of around 500km small country side roads in peace and without traffic. Ibiza is small, but not sooo small
hey have nice Festive 500 days! enjoy and stay save!
best Stefan
