"You still rode your bike across a continent, maybe you saw things and did things some people would never dream of, maybe it will stay with you for the rest of your life.
Maybe you'll have forgotten it all by next week. It is after all only a bike race."
Lots of people stopped riding, and fair enough, I understnad that.
But lots kept riding, and I can really understand that.
The tracker is still working and they can be followed.
