I like my AHH for my rando rides - I have it all set up, but still ride a lot of commute miles on it. The farthest I've done so far is 200k, but have a goal to get a 300k in this year. I'm doing the slow but sure method of increasing mileage, and can't imagine a 600/1200k yet! I agree with Toshi - in any ride over 10 hours when fatigue is setting in, stability and comfort is the ticket!
