I would love to see more rider interviews if at all possible.

Where is that interview missed it and would love to read

From nathrix's tweet:

 

 

Heinrich Visser and Jeannie just left Sutherland.

they both have that thousand yard stare that you get when you have just experienced something life changing....

 

Absolutely agree! Incredible these two thinking about the conditions they have ridden through!

[Cycotic]

I know it would be madness, but imagine how tempting it is for Refeeq to keep riding through RV4? Or even just stop for a shorter time.

I'd like to here how JD compares this with all of the other endurance events that she has done..and she has done plenty all over running, skiing, cycling, rowing..she has probably ticked all those things on my garmin

Thanks but empty ?

Sadly it appears that I wont be following this to the end. Tomorrow I will ride in the Bush and take time to reflect on what the sad passing of BDF means to me and my priorities in life. I will also have a beer or two celebrating all these machines and how they put my minor bit of HTFU for next years' Nove Colli race in perspective.  

 

Chapeau

Just a thought regarding HTFU in perspective. Firstly these Munga athletes are incredible, and what they achieve is just incomprehensible to most of us dot watchers. However they are all highly trained for this and have the underlying physiology to be able to put in the hours of training and face the event itself. For some , their physiology limit may be a 100 k ride , or a Sani , or a marathon or ultra somewhere, and completing that may require as much HTFU as they can muster.

So as much as we are in awe of these dots, we must realize that these are world class endurance athletes in their own right just to finish this thing.
