• 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

    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?
