I did a 302km ride in 27/12/2022 doing a Sydney metropolitan/Wollongong megaloop. It is a very satisfying achievement not every cyclist can do. It pushed me to new limits and we did it in 40 Degree Celsius heat and I had an RD mechanical giving me only a 25T rear fixed and a 48/32T FD gearing. What a day!!! My hardest day in the saddle. Even harder than the Peaks Challenge I did in 2021.
