pedestrian cyclist

ROFL. I didn't know dotwatcher was involved in this kind of "extremely funny and extremely committed" form of jokes.

Also, it's kind of the cutest thing ever. šŸ˜

(I will have to think of this whenever I see a "Rigs of ..." list from now on.)

They also have one for the previous year:
With multiple(!) TCR and HT550 winners in it.

@odoruhako It was far and away the best race/holiday Iā€™ve ever had. Joyous from start to end.

@pete I can imagine.
I guess also pretty challenging physically?

Feels like there is a big lack of these kind events. Having high diversity, tough challenges but also high level of fun. I'd be totally into this, but hard to find something similar.

@odoruhako Challenging for sureā€”even creator of the HT550 Alan G 'complained' at timesā€”but with some bail-out options and alternative routes if or when required. Being a stage race, with hospitality provided each night, helped to soften things up a bit. Most people made it to the end although not everyone completed the full route.
And I completely agree. I rode the Cairngorms Loop with friends in a similar fashion earlier in the year which worked well too.

@pete @odoruhako Pete your bike drawing is way too competent. You need to channel a bit of Goldsmithery!

I definitely think next year's tour Divide should adopt this format.
