Made my first "100 km ride" last Monday! Kinda proud, so I wanna share 😊. 112 km, 5.5 hours total, cumulative elevation gain ~~3800 m~~ → I think OpenTracks fooled me there, it's more likely 1230 m… 🫢

Nah man, you haven't ridden 100km.

You've ridden 100km on a MTB, which makes it so much more impressive!

Thanks :-D That's the only one I got, and it's a good one.

I love MTBs, their versatility is unmatching, but damn are they slow! I used to go 18km/h average on my old Merida, now I have Rose Count Solo 2 and I get some astounding 24km/h 😄

This one's my "first" bike since my teen years, more than a quarter of a century ago… I'm quite happy with it, but yes, it needs some stamina!
