Agreed! Your longest ride is your longest ride and 500km is just an arbitrary number. Sounds like you did your best and rode a long way, despite your drunken fellow rider trying to spoil things!
don't be upset Ausra, still a great result! shame about the drunk plonker, he should be blacklisted and never invited in similar rides again! when was this ride happening? having support car with mechanic is luxury, was that some special project? 500km/24h seems like a very achievable target (done myself), shame for the riders who took it as a joke and messed up your challenge. i speak lithuanian, btw
edit: just noticed in the subject it was july 2009..
Ah, but I looked up Lithuania on Wikipedia and it says that the country covers 65,300 km[sup]2[/sup], only 26.8% of the UK's 243,609 km[sup]2 [/sup]or 50% of England's 130,395 km[sup]2[/sup] and I wouldn't say that England was a large country!
It's interesting to see that Lithuania's population density is only 50.3/km[sup]2 [/sup]compared with England's 395/km[sup]2[/sup]. No wonder it feels so crowded here!

Well okay, Darn Sarth the country is a lot wider, but I have a coast-to-coast route planned up here for when I'm fitter - Scarborough-to-Blackpool - and it is only just over 150 miles. That is not taking the shortest route because I wanted to avoid the busy A-roads out of Scarborough and also to check out Dalby Forest.
In fact, the country is less than 80 miles wide up by Hadrian's Wall!
