100 Miles of Nowhere
If the Fat Cyclist’s third most ridic thing he has done was to invent the 100 miles of nowhere, the third most ridiculous thing I have done is to “sign up” for the event this year.
The goal of this “race” is not to see how far or how fast you can finish something. The goal is to ride an infuriating short distance many many many times to cover 100 miles. That’s like … 160.93km. When it’s that many kilometers, it is important to not round up the numbers.
Behold the short course I have chosen - a mind numbing 1.3km loop at West Coast Park. It took a ridonculous time of 8+ hours namely because I stopped for snacks many times. And I was only a third through 100 miles. It sure is tough. Next year, I do it on a trainer. People have said that doing it on a trainer is tougher though…
