I'm not sure I understand your issue with cycling.

Don't they ride like 200+ miles in that time? I ride for an hour and do like 20 miles. Lol

My issue is to some extent distance. The distances are just a different level of existence from what I've done. Your 20 mile ride for example - JD Jul 24, 12:02 3
- The cycling being low impact makes it much easier to go for longer times. Cyclists also work together to help the group go faster and further. - Krusty Jul 24, 12:50

  - For six+ hours though? That's the part I don't get. I can't think of doing anything for six+'hours in the equivalent constraints of being on a bike - JD Jul 24, 12:37
234 km = 145.4 m -- nm* - mud Jul 24, 11:59
they *average* 25mph over the whole six hours plus it's not a flat course -- nm - zork Jul 24, 11:53 1
- Ok. Now I get it. That's poorly worded on my part. I'm not complaining about speed. I'm in awe that cyclists can spend so much time cycling - JD Jul 24, 12:04
