I learned what worked as I went along and increased my distances.
Thing is ... 200 km wasn't much different than the centuries I had been doing. My 300 km wasn't actually much different than my 200 km ... just a bit longer. But the 400 km was different because it involved night riding. And the 600 km was a whole lot different. I struggle with 600 kms.
i get it and that's what I plan to do.
However if you had to buy a new bike anyways - I won't have a endurance/gravel like bike as I would be giving mine to my son - would you go more traditional with generator (Jan Heine) or Modern Gravel/endurance with batteries.
Basically is Jan Heine right?
