I don't understand either. But if they didn't do it so fast then they'd barely have time to eat and sleep
Pog's time so far (as of yesterday's finish) is 67:53:00 - minus 62" bonuses that's 67:51:58
I'd be surprised if anyone here could manage twice that time*, which is a long of time in the saddle in 21 days (inc. rest days) - seven and a half hours a day every day with no rest days
*Just guessing, don't get offended if you're quicker than that
Nah, you are probably correct. Based on my previous mountain cycling holidays it would take me 24 days to complete the Tour at 3290kms.
Could I do it in 21 days allowing for some flattish stages? Possibly, but no rest days? Hmmmm.
