These are the test runs and attempts:

date	who	distance	description
2013-07-06	Xopr	72km	did a test run (it was actually to receive the prize of a bet which I won: Achel Trappist № 5) and found out that the comfort limit of an untrained person will be about 60km a day, so best practice is to keep the complete tour under this amount.
2013-07-13	Da Syntax	40km	Herkenbosch to Heerlen; Great success! (xopr guesses)
2013-07-14	Da Syntax Xopr	52km	did the actual trip from Heerlen to Weert
2013-07-14	Da Syntax	30km	After a couple of beers (from all three countries we cycled through earlier that day) in Weert Da Syntax continued his journey Weert-Herkenbosch. This comes to a total of +/- 80km that day. So he guess it should be possible for a untrained person to cycle 80km in a day (maybe beer functions as a good motivator).
2014-05-17	Xopr	56km	repeated his Achelse kluis tradition.
2015-05-23	Xopr	75km	Went to Achel and Valkenswaard again without any hassle in an estimated 5 hours. Good position of the saddle is key.
2016-05-15		0km	(cancelled) Pinknick edition. Trip was postponed due to weather conditions (13°C, 3-4bft NW, 65% @ 1.5mm, 40% sun)
2016-05-28	Xopr	47km	Went to Achel again to drink some trappist, and made the trip within 4 hours. Had to shorten the route due to unforeseen circumstances.
2016-07-23	Da Syntax Xopr	69km	Finally, finished Hackers on a Bike!
2020-05-30 2020-05-31	Xopr	56 + 56km	Corona pincknick edition: despite the fairly low profile/short notice, picked up Da Syntax and Computer1up, and several other people showed up on ACKspace's parking lot which was really awesome given all constraints. Broke bike support and took home a lack table in the bycicle cart. This edition had everything!
