Today I did my first 200km ride. From Amsterdam, Netherlands, to Oberhausen, Germany. I took an early train to the Netherlands then cycled back.
I can say this was quite the experience. Also, 90% of the problem was in my head. The body was ok, but two or three times I thought about just taking the train to be back home.
It was challenging, it was painful, but it was rewarding.
I feel tired but great.

That sounds awesome. Way to push through the mind noise!
Looks like a blast! What was your total climb? Is that the 27ft under höhe, or is that just current elevation? I don’t know enough German to know the context there on a garmin
Tried a 200k multiple times, i always chicken out at the 100-110km mark cause there is a train station close by… on the other hand my pr so far is 160km and it was no drama… indeed a lot of it going on in the head 🙂
