Well, you have to look at it from our perspective. We get a lot of trolls starting inane threads or suggesting totally implausible scenarios just as a wind up, and your first post made it sound like you were totally new to cycling, don't have a bike at all, and were planning on doing a pretty grueling ride to Ukraine of all places. No newbie could just get on a bike and do 20 century rides back to back, and it would be foolish to try.
