First I'm taking them to the cobbler to see if they can add some padding and stitch that part back into place.

The rivet where the cuff screw goes was tore off as well, so I'll either need to find someone who can add a new rivet there, or drill a new hole myself.

I don't know how they'll perform, but I think it's best to try and salvage them before buying a new pair.

While this boot is out of commission, I've been using a different setup on each foot: 4x100 (like the one from the picture) on one, and 4x84 on the other, with different boots and frames. It's not as bad as I thought.

It was actually closer to 155, but I started recording like 5km in, so I did an extra 5 just to get the full distance on the app.

My right foot is all messed up. It's been about 6 hours since it ended, and there's still bumps and marks from the skate and socks. Blisters and bruises.

I may try 200km in one or two years. In the odd chance that I actually go for it, that's the most I'll aim for. It's just too much.

Love that red. One of the best promos I've seen.

 

It's about 50km - not that much, but once you reach the highway, there's no cover from the sun, which is what hits you the hardest on this trip.

We also got some heavy wind against us, which made some uphill segments a bit difficult, but as usual, it was a very enjoyable experience.

 

Second time doing this route. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite ones.
