16 -18 hours a day for 2 weeks on racing bike... no thanks, just tweak the position (bar/saddle) on tourer so it a bit more aggressive and put slim tyres on, bike pack rather than pannier. 16 - 20 mph is easy to maintain
It's a race, surely better to make a race bike more comfy than to make a tourer more aggressive...?
Skinny, congrats. Jealous.
A race bike is designed to be used for tens - hundreds of miles, this ride is thousands, its not about top speed but maintaining an average.
Well done skinny on getting a place!
