It was actually closer to 155, but I started recording like 5km in, so I did an extra 5 just to get the full distance on the app.

My right foot is all messed up. It's been about 6 hours since it ended, and there's still bumps and marks from the skate and socks. Blisters and bruises.

I may try 200km in one or two years. In the odd chance that I actually go for it, that's the most I'll aim for. It's just too much.

Congrats, would be cool to see if you got any pics? Livestream for this would be cool, I'd watch in a year or two.

I recorded some parts: https://www.instagram.com/p/C7Lk7nqP0OP/

It's got commentary and captions in Spanish, tho, so I don't know if it'll make much sense to English speakers.

So awesome, my Spanish is good enough to follow most of it. Felicidades!

I think it's pretty clear you left out the epic part this was done overnight, presumptively, because of traffic--that makes it so much cooler! Dinner in the middle. Definitely have to have your route planned, the blacktop/asphalt looked super smooth from the sound of it, no wheel, bearing sound barely at all?

I've got some nice big 3 wheeler blades, I'll come for 2025/2026!
