I know a guy who does a 125 mile event on a Surley Pugley, and that has a tire bigger than 25mm;
I hope to be in good shape by the date of the century, LOL. No, I don't mind a slower pace one bit, in fact I feel safer (one of the reason I picked the thick tires to begin with. Other being that I've never foreseen myself doing any long distance rides at the time of the purchase).
I'm just worried about not completing the distance during the 11 hours or so of official ride time..
