    That's nuts! It adds a whole new meaning to the word 'endurance'. That took huge guts to persevere in such conditions, particularly as a lone rider. As for Raynaud's, I really feel for you. My wife suffers from this condition and it can be really grim and very painful. Kudos for sticking it out so far. 👍

    That cat on your lap was so sweet. Nice dog too. yeah it is sooo challenging in cold, wind, rain and HILL to sweat up. 2x and big cassette helps. And Win Hoff training! Lovely cafe stops and that place you stayed. Someone needs to invent a plug in base layer, you plug yourself in at cafe stops and it dries you out like an elec blanket. Soon gonna get wet again though! Maybe someone needs to invent smart lamposts you can plug into to charge kit up. Small charge.

    Multiple day Endurance events are something else entirely, it is not your neibourhood friendly crit, it just takes you places, especially inside your head… You are tough Jul, it is just some times mother Nature takes you through all the bad alleys. Keep the spirits high. 🫡

    Most endurance races seem to end up as calorie consuming races.

    Hi Juliet, I've watched your channel for some time and love what you do. How about coming out to New Zealand some time? It's as beautiful as Patagonia but not nearly so cold and wet! We have some great bikepacking events like the Tour Aotearoa that I'm sure you'd love.

    I also have Raynaud's, I'm sympathetic to dealing with that pain. Kudos to working through that with all the other discomforts of this event.

    The challange for me in this focused short-time-frame approach to an ultra distance ride is that it does not look like a lot of fun. I appreciate the challenge is in the distance, the experience and epic nature of battling fatigue and distance giving you a sense of achievement. However, with night riding and constant rain it does not look like you get to experience the country and it looks like a lonely fight against tiredness and rain.
    Amazing effort though and well done. I could not do that sort of distance myself and think its an amazing achievement. Maybe if you had more luck with sunnier days, the whole thing would have felt different. It looks like you had some beautifully scenery between the storms.

  • @thebikepackingadventurer
    @thebikepackingadventurer Рік тому +2

    Ultras are brutal even in the best sunny conditions. Altitude makes everything way more cold. One thing I learned years ago. Hopefully you completed it 🤞🏻

    I realise this is probably well after the event, but just to let you know. Sending you lots of love and warmth through all of your suffering because you are out there doing it and many of us would like the opportunity ,but you share it with us which is the next best thing.
    Thank you and stay strong. Easier said than done I know especially on your own.

    I was hoping you'd stop there but I fear you decided to go on and keep going regardless; honestly that's what I would have done myself just because I'm precisely that kind of stubborn slightly obsessive mind that wants to make it at all costs.
    I am going to watch the next video and hope for the best and comment the rest there !
    Please tell me you're fine and wanting to go to the next ultra! 😁
