Funny i have no problem doing a 100k, but i tried what you mentioned, i found a nice 1K loop but at 25km i couldn't handle it mentally anymore and never got do

  I have a 1K loop near me and I had the same idea. The most I've done is about 20KM before the boredom became too much. I'm starting to think that dealing with the monotony may be the challenge itself.

    I did try with a ~145m loop here, but it was hard to keep up the speed. Turns so tight I couldn't do them much faster than ~27km/h, and then I would be stuck there all night. So did 100 laps out of ~700 before I caved in haha. Found another one here that's ~700m, but it's actually quite hilly and had bad luck with the wind being against me going up the hill, so caved in after 33 rounds. Will try this round again with a faster bike and better weather, though ideally I'd like a shorter and flatter one. But yeah, combating the boredom is somehow the alluring part for me. Just zone out and do it. I've biked 300km races and similar, so the distance isn't the problem.
