Deliberately not put this in the pro/distance section as I want to include the lesser mortals.
I enjoy watching tdf and yesterday some of the Spanish one. BUT.......
those guys are just 'from another planet' compared to anything I have ever done eg as a teenager I spent a week cycling north Wales.......at a guess, maybe 350 miles in the week on my 1960 Triumph Palmspring.
These guys are doing over 2000 miles up mountains I could not contemplate although, again as a teenager, I did the Horshoe pass several times.
So
Just wondering if any CCrs have done "serious" stuff.
