The point of the trip is to ride 600km in a weekend. I know I can ride 250km in 12 hours total. There is time to get there, eat, sleep, get up at 3am and ride back. Its the next step to my mission to ride around the entire country. I've covered the local area and I haven't used motorized transport for two years now. I want to get there and back under human power.

Odd? Maybe buts its something I've wanted to do for years. I have the fitness and determination so its time to do it. I have much nicer bikes that I'm sure would make the trip easier, but this bike deserves to do more than commute.
