Uh, it's a race.

I've experienced and learned an amazing amount during my ultra races. Just because I'm not stopping and doing a walking tour of a castle doesn't mean I'm not experiencing things or discovering things.

The touring thread is over there >>>

There's a heritage and a tradition of what we now call "adventure cycling " within British and Irish cycle touring. Ian Hibberd , Dervla Murphy and others did challenging rides in the 50s and 60s. Before the war, CTC members toured Albania in their 2 week summer holiday. Then there are the Crane brothers from the 80s.

So it's never just been about gentle rides ...
