Distance: 320 km
Time: 19 h and 8 min
I wanted to lay this distance behind,
since it is the distance of a great bicycle race in Sweden, Vättern Runt.
My way of doing it was in a way easier because of the perfect temperature, about 25 degrees.
But with a slight side and sometimes head wind of 2-3 m/s.
The road may be more scenic and unic here, as for me beeing Swedish,
but that also means huge climbs up,
and great long,
fast hills down.
I divided the distance in four legs, 80 km each.
That meant three stops for about 10 minutes with a second breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Starting 5.30 in the morning after my great host Marios breakfast. Then two hours in the dark before sun rises. And the last 6 hours also in the dark, finnishing at 01,38 in the night.
I pedal the fully equipt bicycle for my greater trip for touring Kenya to South Africa.
and all food needed for 24 h and 10 L of water.
It all went well, not even a flat tyre. I am prowd to be one of all who has completes this distance.
I was doing an average of about 20 km/h for the first 220 km. But the last 100 km was tough and went slow.
As soon as I reached the whole way, I camped on first possible spot. Not far from the small town Clanwilliam which I go to in the morning and stop for a good rest.
And now the day after, I am as tired as I look.

Actually I am still tired today and now it is the second day of rest.
