When I was in my 20s, I rode the Sierras, 4 x mountain passes in 6 days for a total distance of around 550 miles. We rode on early 1970s Campagnolo bikes with marginal braking on descents, silk sew-up tires, minimal safety gear, and no changes of clothes. We were clocked in the 40+ mph on some of the descents. With that experience in mind, I have been worrying about Ravi for the last 1000 miles.
But it has been interesting to follow him on Strava. What an achievement.
