Silk Road Mountain Race (SRMR)

Will be watching this thread and the dots in awe. All the best folks.

It was kind of ridable going down though, for someone who doesn't fear hurting themself too much

That is funny!

It makes me feel a bit wobbly just to look at that photo, and to think that I entered this the first time it was on. That was before I realised how tough it was. Luckily I had heart surgery so I got out of it before I rocked up and found myself waaay out of my depth!

I do look forward to watching this unfold.

Socializing, gear and race talk in perfect weather on the top of the Kegeti pass today. Couldn't have thought of a better place to do this.

Cool photo :)

Nice! Sad to not be able to go. The full sus ratio seems to have gone up :)

Can't believe people are still bringing drop bars to this race 👀

Watching local gal #7 Anna Petters rn after I found the site (https://srmr2021.maprogress.com/). What numbers do people on here have, can’t find skinny for instance (on phone and rather jumbled view).

Edit: Ok found the search function, sorry.

Skinny is 32
Samuli is 58

skinny's tracker seems to be playing up (as well as those of some others). It hasn't changed position since the start, but somehow I can't imagine that he's a DNS.

This is as close as I'll be getting.

Didn’t pay his spot renewal…

Oh no! I hope everything is ok…

He didn’t start according to the SRMR Instagram.

Ah, shame. I'm sure he'll tell us what happened.

@skinny what happened. hope you are ok.

@skinny so sorry!

Shit happens init

Arse. Still, there's always next year. I've been telling myself that a lot over the last 18 months. Sometimes a year after I said it first.

Hard call but the right one. Hope the posi-person is ok!

Yeah double jabbed and no symptomns. Nelson was smart making everyone get tested, or this person would have potentially caused a big outbreak.

Much respect, this is a great call @skinny.
Sad for your race though.

Oh no, rotten luck.

Shit luck, skinny. A wise call though.

Well that sucks a large unwashed Ardennes horse cock. Hope you bounce back soon.

Dang. Shit luck dude. Sorry to hear that, there will be other races though.

Tuff call but long term health is more important . Far to many people have ignored the warnings and now gone.
