stats
2016
| Part | Distance | Time | Speed | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First | 33km | 1:44h | 19km/h | |
| Second | 36km | 2:56h | 12km/h | includes lunch and 2 breaks |
| Total | 69km | 4:40h | 15km/h |
previous events & test runs
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! |
