Nice pictures. I'm impressed your partner was able to ride that far that fast on a single speed mountain bike. Interesting to see how it is done in other parts of the world.

Excellent pix. Interesting overlay of the elevation profile and rider's heart rate data. I really like that idea.
Cool to see someone else doing distance on a singlespeed. (I'm working my way up to longer distances.) I just started seriously riding singlespeed this year, and so far I'm only up to about 40 miles. Seeing someone doing a 340K is just more incentive to keep going.

cool pics!

thx for posting.

Just inform you all, that I'd like to add some new muntain passes to get distance 400 km long. Hope to check it on roads this year. It should be 400 K brevet!
