Great to hear from you. Your ride last year was even more impressive suffering from Alcock's Syndrome. You got on your bike day after day over hugely difficult terrain for a month and did each day what any normal rider would call a long ride. Wow.
Did you write an account of the ride? Was your plan to take a long time or was that forced on you?

haha you re crazy guys but great. i am changing my username in uber hero lol. Clive from the forum asked me about last year. i was with an alcock syndrom beaause of the saddle. i thought it would be not difficult to recover but unfortunately it has taken 9 months to see the pain go out. so this year i was undertrained ( paradoxally faster lol) and my spirit was not in the race. as we are here to support the most deserving racers. you talkd about alexandra and it was a good choice i had met her she was really courageous. i met the n°92 too she is from taiwan. i was very impressive. she is in a totally different cultural background. her bike is ordinary as she rides a btwin bike. i like this spirit: ride a bike, simply, don't need a sophisticated bike . according to me she is incredible. there are the brother munoz too with their great jersey n° 209. i met pierluigi too n°126 he is 60 years old guy. i guess miss soplanit is deserving too. i met n°148 but she said me she did'nt want to go to the final cp. and of course alberto varni who was the 2014 lanterne rouge. lionel bobb n°117 scratched last year i hope he will be able to finsh this year, he is a very kind guy. he is using the south road i wanted to use myself. 535 km between cp2 and cp3. an interesting route if you are fast on the flat. he is avoiding plenty of climbs. david #130
