Great recap. Much appreciated. Well done on 3rd place. Best of luck in next event and keep up the good commentary

Nice recap and a solid effort getting in 3rd 👍 Tough as it sounds it looks like a quite scenic route with those amazing landscapes. Most likely wouldn't come more the half the way, but maybe should give it a go if they arrange it next year again.

Just had my application accept3d for 2025. Cannot wait ❤

[@Emonk2010]

Well done, looks very tough! Thanks for bringing us along.

Was race monitor for a few of you and so its great to see some video of what you all were riding through. It looked brutal just DotWatching it and your story confirms it. Chapeau on a great effort.

Epic. Would love to have a crack at that... had a go at TCR a couple of years ago, but by god it was hot and the roads were boring. Had to scratch at half way as it was 37 in the shade, I couldn't hack it! The parcours including some offroad was amazing though and so the accursed looks a lot more like my cup of tea.

[@CycleXplorer]

Been looking forward to this, saved for later!

[@TheBikeChallenge]

Looks very tough but beautiful indeed, will consider this if I'm fit enough next year!

Where can I find your ridewithgps route/track? Seem to not be able to find it on the website

[@lydiagould3090]

Fantastic 3rd place!💪💪💪 I was following on dotwatcher, and the track looks tough but beautiful. Re dogs, you definitely need to get vaccinated for rabies! Not rabid🤣but you look lean and hungry. Did you lose much weight? Also how do you train for sleep deprivation? and not being able to get food (as you experienced) I get the impression most people just keep going til they're so tired they just crash out, wherever.

I’m hoping I’m too skinny for the dogs to want me 😀

[@joshibbett]

I lost a kilo during the race. Sleep wise I have a schedule that i know works for me after many years doing this. I can cope with 3-4 h per night… but the closer to 4h the sleep is then the more pleasant the overall experience

Why no-fly?

The organisation are trying to set an example and precedence
