chiangmaiexpat Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Fascinating. I have great respect for the achievement, but honestly, 20 hours per day on a bike at 30 kph and more doesn't sound healthy to me. If I ever get the chance to cycle across the USA, I would want to have a chance to see the sights and sounds, take in the landscape and talk to people. One of the advantages of the reduced travel speed of a bicycle -as opposed to a car- is that one gets a better impression of the things that pass by. Well, I guess, I don't have the race mindset. Cheers, CM-Expat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deserted Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 I think it said at the beginning that two people had died during the race, hardly surprising. The competitor looks dazed and confused towards the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, CM-Expat It was a race. Some people like racing, some people like touring. I'm with you - I think that sort of racing is lunacy, but he didn't seem like a loony.
