Question 1 -

Have you ridden over 2700miles over rough terrain in a very short period of time which was actually pretty competitive????

If answer is:

A - please please continue to comment as you have the insight into what it means to be on the limit day after day for hundreds of miles

B - just don't bother! As it's all internet talk.

(jameso - bravo)

Are you willfully missing the point?

Can we leave this alone now? Whatever your opinion of Guy Martin and however you view his achievements, by his own admission, he's still just a bloke, who (a) in the great scheme of bikepacking, hasn't done anything extraordinary and (b) wouldn't register more than a flicker of interest if he weren't ont' telly.

Some appear to like his 'ways' and others don't but that's just life and one party trying to convince the other, is a pointless waste of everyone's time.

Anyway, as you were and here's a picture of a panda falling off a snowman.

Answer - A , yes I have, and I went the right way. As have several other people who've commented (including Jameso)

But as Stu said, have a panda

I did a ride/tour inspired by The Tour Divide too but that's as far as it went..... wasn't tempted to describe it as anything else though.

I've posted previously about it a long time ago.
