Fantastic write up Ivo, an immense feat completing this as a race.
Thanks for sharing this, beautiful pictures.
Was your finish "out of time" or not?

Hard to tell, the jury is still out (and part of the jury is on holidays).

Thanks again Ivo, great tale, and nice to hear the mental side of it. How you cope with boredom of featureless roads against old roads with villages.

Long distance riding is more mental then anything else. Once you've passed the 400k mark it's all a matter of mindset. And the scenery influences that.

A great report - well done and thanks for taking the trouble to write it all up.

Not much seems to have gone wrong with your bike... Is there anything you would have changed?

Yes. The batterylights were more trouble as expected, especially the batterysuplies. Next time I'd use my SON dynohub (and did so during the Silkroad 1200).
