Mille Cymru 1000km Audax


vorsprung, July 30, 2010

Along with 53 other people I rode the "Mille Cymru" at the weekend. It was 1,000km with 13,500m ascent in 75 hours

I didn't think there was 1000km of road in Wales! Dave, this man deserves a T-shirt.

It's not just about the size of your cog.

The best bike has a Schmidt SON generator hub built into a 32h open pro. The front light is a 60lux B&M Cyo and the rear light (also generator powered) is a B&M seculite plus
