  • I rode around Ireland in 2009. The roads were definitely poor in some cases but then finding yourself in the middle of a sand track, gravel track, etc. on TCR was also shit so it's hard to say. I'd have thought the 360 degree headwinds and driving rain 25 hours a day would provide more of a barrier to completion :)

  • Yeah, that too. Apparently it was enough to drive quite a few experienced riders to scratch last year.

    My pal Chris Hinds is riding it this year - really strong rider, does pretty well at local races. Will be interesting to see how that translates.

  • I guess I should start proper training soon - not sure lifting weights is going to help me ride for 2wks+. You been doing much?
