On 9/9/17 i rode the Dirtyboar , a gravelride of 105 miles and 8858ft of Climbing. The weather was , well belgian style , very bad. Lots of rain , strong wind. But what a ride !!! Enjoyed every second of it , even during the last 3miles where i got cold and hungry and couldn't stop shaking :lol: :lol:

I'm the second guy. Riding a full rigid steel 29r.

Funny, I thought that must be a typo too, but it isn't. Christ, that's quite a ride!

Yeah, that was my first thought too... but spread over 105 miles I guess makes more sense. But still, WOW what a ride!
