Solid ride, I was suffering about 20 minutes behind you. The video of you rolling into the 2nd aid station gave me flashbacks of last week. Hardest part of the day for me along with the climb after the lake.
Yeah I find it harder to get stuff out of my pockets especially when there’s dirt/sweat/gels involved. Also I find it easier to operate my phone for filming. But yeah I really regretted it on this occasion. I would take the minor inconvenience over my hand wounds any time 😂
Update: got an X-ray and I’ve fractured a carpal bone in my hand, no wonder I was so sore by the end of the ride!
Shona the real MVP
She sure is, I’m a lucky man!

Nice one. Yeah I was in a seriously bad way when I rolled in I can understand the bad flashbacks 🥲
Epic!!!
🥳
Excellent job pushing through the tough spots and beating the sun! I was out there an additional 5 hours, much respect!
Chapeau mate. Huge day out. Huge respect ticking that off whether you beat the sun or not!
@@pedallingsquaresNZ Thank you! I was happy to get my 4th finish
Congrats on a huge effort. Trust you enjoyed it - it’s pretty special. Where to next?
Thanks mate. Need to recover from my fractured hand hopefully in time to go ride some of the Tour de France stages!
Nice job !
4:30 Slo-mo section A++. Was no gloves a choice? Mad. Great vid, appreciated on a big day when you've got other things than filming to concentrate on.

Great to see you over there and finishing that epic ride. Well done. Where in nz are you from and what kind of training did you do?
I’m from Wellington in NZ. I mostly ride MTB and gravel as the trails in Wellington are just too good!
