Brazil bicycle race, only 125 miles to go.
Have any of you bicycled that far?
I once routinely bicycled 15 to 30 miles at a time but never went more than about 45 miles in a day.

Have you seen pictures of Chris Froome? He upper body looks like a concentration camp victim from so much distance riding.
And I always used to watch the Tour de France but have not followed it the last 2 or 3 years.
On my own gone over 100 miles many many times.

Going from LA to DC, in December and January! Staying close to the Mexican border, except at the coasts. So the total trip had to be over 4,000 miles, and Bowen was averaging over 100 miles per day.

In college I was for a while on the schools racing team, and we did criterion practice on a runners track. You learn to stay very close, and also to use body lean to reduce frame lean in order to be able to pedal further into corners, and pedal out earlier.
My point her is that you need to ride well, wont be much in terms of safety margins.

Has anybody heard any more about the Dutch racer that had the crash? That crash looked nasty. Seriously non-brilliant.
