Cheers, yeah, if I did it again I'd definitely not use my skinny road bars and I'd definitely put lower gearing on. 42T might be fine if you weigh 70kg but there was a lot of stuff I just couldn't ride - not through lack of skill (although that happened a lot too) but because I couldn't power over the rocks with the gearing, load and fatigue. Still, that's why you do these things - to discover.

I really liked the dot watching, along with the odd Twitter post, following the race.
I hadn't checked it yet today, but really glad to see you finished @hippy and with 7th too. That looked tough in places!
