Doing the distance is not a challenge. Doing the them well would be.

See you at the Mittelrhein but I would not do a 100k followed by a 42k unless I was going to be just cruising for both. In that case I might as well go off and do some long distance training where I don't have to pay to enter events. I'm doing that already and it will be about 200k in 2 days. Already done 360k in 5 days before. As I said distance is not a challenge. I am doing 4 marathons on consecutive weekends this April/May that is a good amount of time to recover between ach one and I expect to see my finish position improve from race to race at least until perhaps the last one.

Good luck if you want to go for it though. Don't overdo it on the first one and the other two should be a doddle. You might need someone to get to Koblenz to pick up your race pack on the friday. I'd recommend getting someone to do the driving for you too.

The Biel website is not very clear, but it looks like the inline race is not 100km.   The text on the website is referring to the 100km running race that is run that weekend.   The inline race is just part of the supporting program.

Given that the race probably isn't that long (the course looks to be no more than 5km) I would think that doing all the races in a weekend is quite possible, after all many cyclists race much tougher programmes.

oh well. I was looking at the costs and logistics and it wouldn't be fun.

If any one wants to come I recommend now skipping Deutschland all together and staying in Zürich and parting Friday and Saturday night.

The course in Biel is the same as the one used by the Swiss Inline Cup. They just moved the start line to another part of the course.
