Not really the same as driving 100Km, watch 2Hrs of people racing around in an oval doing 200Km/Hr+. driving to a restaurant, driving to a nightspot, and driving home...

Rowan and I often do these car-free weekends where we drive to our destination. Park the van. Then spend the weekend cycling and walking.

We did that at Christmas.
