Yes I can, Yes I am, Yes I did...Repeat.
What a great event!...

That's a tough ride taking it easy but racing constantly...the mental games there must be where the race is won.

Personally I'd rather see more and take my time, but then Im not a racer or competitive on a bike, each to their own and hats off to these riders.

Having said that riding with full support vehicles etc has a lot to be said for it...the older I get the more I like that idea lol!

Amazing efforts !
