Christoph down under - Perth to Sydney
« on: 16 January, 2017, 11:46:41 am »
Has anyone been following this?

Christoph Strasser is tackling the Perth to Sydney record (currently 7 days 8 hours), 3950km in summer.

He's on target to do it in 6.5days but suffering from sleep deprivation, his crew report they have to shout and cajole him to change lanes, and move on the road, but he has no problem riding. He's even climbing stronger than ever.
285km to go but the crew are worried. Either he'll keep going and beat the record or he won't make it at all.

I've just seen that. Amazing. Sounds like he was in a right state for the last 48hours or so. Amazing rider, terrific crew.
