[[User:Guaka|Kasper]] and I had possibly our longest ride ever, in Europe at least: [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=piacenza&daddr=cologne&sll=45.255555,9.662476&sspn=1.840641,5.141602&ie=UTF8&ll=45.009477,9.84581&spn=0.231075,0.6427&z=11&om=1 from Piacenza to Cologne], and the St. Gotthard tunnel was actually closed, so it was probably 1000 km :)
