  • On July 4th 2021, after the postponement of our 2020 race, riders from all over the UK set off from Maker Heights in Cornwall to embark on a much needed and long awaited adventure through Celtic nations and parts of South-West England steeped in Celtic tradition. The typically brutal weather paired with a challenging route would test even the strongest wills, as both mental strength and physical endurance would be pushed to the limit. Friendships would once again be forged within this fire and strangers, rivals and clan folk alike would enjoy an experience they will never forget. This is their story

    I’m so so touched by this. While watching this, I can’t help but comparing this with Squid Game (yes, the Korean drama). If Squid Game represent the worst of mankind through a competition, then Pan Celtic Race is the total opposite. Both organisers has clear motivation behind the game, but the results are the total opposite.
    Every participants suffer throughout the race, but they enjoy every single bit of it, it is Life! We can grind through the competition or we can lift our heads up and appreciate the beautiful scenery.
    I admire Angus, not only because of his unbelievable performance, but how he also managed to enjoy every bit of the race while being competitive, he is a real winner.
    And Chris and Paul demonstrate real sportsmanship, this touched me a lot too!
    I can go on and on, but I really love how the team made this race as beautiful as the scenery. Thank you so much!

    1 week before you start your 1st bikepacking trip: can I really do it? In the 1st week then: wow, it's great to experience nature like this. In the 2nd week: wow, i feel better with every day and i get stronger and fitter. With every further week and every new day it gets better and better, your body in harmony with the nature: experiencing and feeling freedom.
    And in the last week of your trip: wow, as soon as i'm back home, i have to plan the next tour.

As for tires, Schwalbe Marathon Plus and thorn resistant inner tube. I hate Flats. I've been to Stone Henge many many years ago. But I hate riding in rain.

    • @XX-is7ps
      @XX-is7ps Před 2 lety +1

      Almost any form of cycling off the track is “endurance” sport, this is well into “ultra endurance” at these kinds of distances and durations. What I find fascinating is that it’s far more about mental condition than it is physical condition - a 50watt FTP advantage is completely meaningless compared to the ability just to not give up and press on, for whatever reason that drives you.
      I don’t think it’s altruism that made them ride together so much as mutual encouragement, distraction and overcoming fatigue, boredom, loneliness and fear. Basic human companionship, even in an event that seemingly celebrates independence and isolation.
