the idea

Visiting ACKspace by bike, just because we can

things to consider

test runs

Some strategic distances:

  • Herkenbosch-Heerlen is about 40 km.
  • Weert-Heerlen is about 50km.
  • Weert-Herkenbosch-Heerlen will be about 70km.

This are the test runs:

Xopr

did a test run the 6th of july (it was actually to receive the prize of a bet which I won: Achel Trappist № 5)
cycled 72 kilometer and found out that the limit of an untrained person will be about 60km a day, so best practice is to keep the complete tour under this amount.

Da Syntax

did a full run from Herkenbosch to Heerlen the 13th of july. Great success! (xopr guesses)
did another test run on the 14th of july. First together with Xopr Heerlen-Weert. After a couple of beers in Weert i continued my journey Weert-Herkenbosch. This comes to a total of +/- 80km that day. So i (syntax) guess it should be possible for a untrained person to cycle 80km in a day (maybe beer functions as a good motivator).

when will the cycling be?

Xopr is planning to do the cycling after ohm2013, so somewhere in august..

It will probably be a kind of 'branch' where we meet in the middle, do a little picknick, and carry on together to ACKspace.

I'm testing this with a doodle, because it's easier than using tables with this amount of dates:
