[QUOTE="101stpathfinder, post: 1359390, member: 18625"] Your math is bad, and so is your logic and reasoning. 10 1000 mile days in a row is called a 10/10ths. I have done 10 of these rides and this ride is my favorite cert. ride. It is a very comfortable pace for me. Just because you have done "A few 1k days" does not mean you can assert that it cannot be done safely or that it "Can't be much fun" You ride 30k a year which is great for your location. Having the capability to ride long distance is an absolute MUST for me. I live in south Florida. I hate to think of how long i would have to take off work for my Alaska rides IF I did it at a "Normal" pace. The "Deka" is an extremely tough ride as such is the "Hell Week". A rider cannot just go out and ride these rides and get them certified. The IBA in their wisdom requires that a rider complete a trifecta twice before even attempting a "Quattro". It may not be the "Fun" that you are seeking in YOUR riding, but the rides are VERY accomplishing for some riders. The "Deka"has been done by only 1 rider, while the hell week has been done (To my knowledge) 3 times. That is what makes them so special. Once again I point out what section that you are posting in. To each his own ! [/QUOTE]
