The challenge is not distance, it's maintaining the drive to go ahead despite facing adversity - Hitchhiking turns out is more difficult than finding a friendly bike shop to stay open later to replace a wheel. 60km outside Sudbury.

Saw this bit on adversity management somewhere recently; can't remember where. But it seems important, for some reason:

When you're downhill skiing, focus on the openings, not the trees. If you focus on the trees, you’ll ski right into them.

When you feel overwhelmed and so much is coming at you, it’s natural to want to focus on the threat. But what gets you down the hill is to leave the trees in your peripheral vision and point yourself at the openings between.
