Did 60km with 1200m climbing on a 13kg* full susser on Saturday. Fuck me I'm still done today.
FTS really kicked in at the 1000m climbed bit.
I am weak, though!
* this is actually quite light
Howard-
13kg is about what my bike weighs... before I put anything in the bags :S
I'd like a lighter setup but I use everything I carry to some extent and I'd rather finish an event having lost time than DNF an event because I didn't have a spare or tools to fix something. Really just need to work on developing an amphetamine habit to drop 30kg and then I'd be much better in those mountains...
hippy
Everything is relative isn't it?
I think a 100mi TT is short but it's probably a big scary thing for people who only ride 10s.
Any distance off road for me has to have a FTS (fuck this shit) multiplier applied. It's currently 500x the road distance. :)
