I'm actually enjoying this far more than the Tour de France this year, so much more interesting in terms of the equipment and routing as well as the endurance aspect of balancing the above with nutrition, sleep and sanity. Being able to follow the trackers and twatter, insta and forumenger updates is also strangely satisfying considering you barely get to see any riding beyond the official TCR snippets.
I think all this is framed by the basic awe of people taking a challenge like this on-probably in much the same format that the TdF started on now that I think about it-can't imagine the pain and hardship people are gritting their teeth and spinning their legs through!
