Dolan or leader??

Fair point, I'm probably overstepping the mark talking about riding all the way to paris on one of these. I should have left it at the fact that it's easy enough to go over 100 miles on one of these without unreasonable amounts of discomfort.

I agree with all of that. Though the harder you push – the more those aches and pains magnify. Winter training mile ≠ always comfortable.

You says that, there's not much to do while being sat in a car for 8 hours and with a phone for company.

Yes... hang on. Wat?
