For the summer solstice I rode my bikepacking rig from sunrise to sunset, 5:34 AM to 9:25 PM. I did this ride a week before the solstice, but used the actual sunrise and sunset times from the solstice at my location.

This proved to be quite a tough day, but I would recommend to anyone else to give your own longest day challenge a shot, even if you can't do the entire day like I did. It's incredibly rewarding to see just what you can push yourself to do within one day.

Gnarly. I bet I could do about 30 miles and maybe 2,000 feet of climbing. Grinning

That is a solid day, congrats! Once my kids are a little older and I can disappear for an entire day I look forward to doing something similar!

Wow Dude. My longest is eight hours, sixty eight miles and six or eight? thousand feet on a Turkey Burn ride put on by The Warrior Society down in the OC. Back in the so very short day of endurance DH I so wanted to race one but never managed it. I could have been a contender!
