Shebeen Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 https://cyclingtips.com/2019/09/16-stitches-and-a-life-of-pain-willie-smit-is-cyclings-toughest-rider/ Nice article.Smit dabbled in a number of sports through his teens: he was a regional chess champion, played rugby and was a talented golfer as a teenager, before losing interest in “playing on my own everyday hitting 500 golf balls”. Smit took up adventure racing. The physicality and self-reliance of that, perhaps, allowed him to draw on the deep wellspring of resilience he’d been forced to develop as a child.From adventure racing, he discovered a passion for mountain biking, and then, road cycling didn't know that about AR...but chess, as a kid who bunked school his grandparents got him to sit down and conentrate on pawns and rooks?surely there's more to it than that, sounds a bit Good Will Hunting

Jewbacca Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Wait till his coach see's this, dan is hy in die *** It's not like he has anything coming up he can't be fatigued for, so I doubt it.

DJuice Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Average cadence low, any reason, thought it would be 75-80. WillieSmurfy 1
Patchelicious Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Average cadence low, any reason, thought it would be 75-80.Running low on chamios cream? Chris_ and Jakkals. 2
BikeisLife Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Average cadence low, any reason, thought it would be 75-80.All the slowing down to stop, non-pedaling will bring the average down quite a bit.
Patchelicious Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 It’s important to note that he wasn’t alone in this ride. Pete Seyffert also did it. Rowl and Escapee.. 2
