140 km, 1 gear, 0 brakes and 4 h 43 min

The title says it all.

Today I participated in Tour de Helsinki which was a 140,1 kilometres long bike race. First time riding such a long distance at once, and especially with a fixie, so I’m quite happy of my result.

140,1 kilometres in 4 hours, 42 minutes and 42 secons. With one gear and no brakes. I positioned 816th out of 1683 riders completing the race.
