I've had TD on my bucket list
Yeah, too many events, too little summer. Its history makes it appealing.
I'd have thought you would still be pretty quick over that sort of terrain, no?
frank9755-
Exactly. That's why we're expanding our skills into winter bikepacking trips
I'm not quick over any terrain any more. :S
4300km is a maybe 1-2 days longer than TCR and that would take me ~12 days.
TD is 60% dirt as opposed to like 2% of TCR and with 50,000m climbing it's hillier than TCR4.
I dunno, I guess I can ride 150-200k per day on this? I always figured I could finish in <25 days. Sub-20 days is possible but unlikely I'm that motivated to do all that night riding these days.
hippy
I've had TD on my bucket list for years now but it's such a big chunk of time to commit and so many 'easier to get to' events have popped up so it keeps getting pushed back. It's not like I'm going to be fast so I could just 'do it when I retire' or something but I'll probably be dead before then. So, I keep pencilling it in until some other event pops up in June that takes the focus away from it.
