It's come round quick! Hard to know who else is riding as they all give themselves nicknames.
I have such mixed feelings about this ride. It was a hell of an adventure, and it's fun to go over the route again and try and remember the towns and the bits between. But it was such a slog, about 6 solid days into a headwind.
I was mentally really struggling after about 10 days. I found it harder than the Transcontinental from that point of view - maybe the remoteness, and the cuntish drivers. Then it all fell apart when Mike was killed. I just wanted to get home then.
I hope it goes well this year!
