When you go really, really long, your speed is your speed. Then it becomes mental. So much fun. You train to make your "easy" as fast as possible and that's the best you can do. Because if ride is long enough, anything harder than "easy" will blow you up.
@ChromeLuxx2 ай бұрын
Mate, were we watching the same video? Twenty three hours of riding in two days is “non competitive”? It’s not a race, but he rode it like one. The idea of TT is adventure, sights, and being on your bike in Tuscany. To ride it that fast is to miss the point completely.

I love that Conor snuck mention of "Type 2 Fun" into his Tuscany narrative. Any of us who watched and loved the GCN+ documentary "Slow Pro Tour: Canary Islands" remembers when Larry Warbasse defined Type 2 vs. Type 1 Fun for Conor. I even filmed that scene on my phone while re-watching SPT:CI in the final days of GCN+ when i tried to re-watch as many of the films as possible before they vanished into the evil WB void. So glad to see the videos on GCN's current platform approaching GCN+ films in length and spirit. Conor's next bike-packing trip should include Jack Thurston or Larry Warbasse! Cheers and thank you GCN.
