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.
