Me and a friend just did WRIAD CCW (Schafer climb last). Personally I found the road section from Schafer back to the lot one of the hardest sections. This time around I brought 4.5L of water with me, 3 on back, 1.5 in bottle cages, 7 Carbs gels (roughly 1per hour) and a handful of gummybears. We wrapped up the ride just under 8 hours and had about .5L left in one bottle. I think we lucked out with weather in low 60's and while climbing Schafer a cloud rolled in and sprinkled on us the whole way up. Was honestly quite nice. Anyways, we watched this video for beta before hand and wanted to say thanks!

That's impressive on the food and water intake. I would have bonked for suer on that :) Definitely lucked out on the weather! Appreciate the kind words!

It’s amazing! No regrets. Well, maybe a few but it’s worth it. 😜

You mentioned a lot of issues with using your Go Pro, take a look at the Insta 360 One X2. This is what I will be using as it has voice commands for filming as well as 360 views, it's like having 10 cameras with you as you can choose in the easy editing software what angle to look at. Happy Trails!

Really good info. I've done it both directions and think I prefer counter-clockwise because it's easier to cover a lot of miles quickly early on, but, like you said, clockwise is probably the smarter choice. On the clockwise trip we went in September - way too early and hot. It was 90 to 95 with bright sun and I went through all 8 liters of water.

That sounds brutal! Not only the heat but having to carry 8L is heavy!

G'day from Australia, thanks for the video, I'll be there this year in 2022 and attempting WRT in one day on October the 5th and am a below-knee amputee. Good to see what I am in for and the tips with water and food, still not sure which way round yet. How's the weather at the start of October? Also, how was your bike comfort on the bike seat, did you wear a bib and brace with chamois and use any particular chafing creams? Thanks again for making this video.

October is likely pleasant but the water will be low for sure if you do decide to filter. Everything hurt but we all wore chamois. None of used any cream but probably should have! Thanks for watching and glad it helped!

What kind of Bike Computer did you use to count your mileage?
