I strongly disagree. This ride shows that such a distance is easily feasible for mere human beings. Bikes are quiet, affordable, discreet, fume-free* portable and relatively light-weight and safe. Since they were invented, they have been a nice, independent way for people to enjoy the countryside without disrupting it too much or spoiling it for other people. And your bike uses the same fuel that you do. Imagine doing that kind of route at that time of night on motorcycles, or with the Mini Club UK or something. Then you would hear about complaints.

But it took me 11 hours.
And I was barely recognisable as human at the end
And I was definitely not fume-free. I was mainlining sweets and baked beans :-)

I kept imagining doing it on my motorcycle. I'd have been there by Midnight, though you're so right about the noise!
