    38c

    On last year's Karri Cup 105km Mtb event it was 38C I dÃ*dn't make through stage 3. I think it was also because I was still getting used to the Western Australian heat

    I heard that quite a few people fainted on stage 3, not because it's the hilliest stage but because it was 38C and no shade

    At this year's Karri Cup it was only 25C

    That's the only story i have..

    I posted the full account in my multi-day tour thread. A friend and I decided to try the 100 miles instead of 75. Maybe we shouldn't have. We figured that we'd just keep pedaling forward and finish eventually. The SAG wagon was circling the route more frequently. I believe that we were among some of the last riders.

    91 miles in I hit a railroad track wrong and crash. My friend swung wide to not hit me and went down too. So, while we didn't SAG... we did earn a ride in the ambulance.

    We had finished 100 miles two days earlier and 70 the day before. We probably had no business doing the 100 on that day. The 75 mile route took us across those tracks too. Who knows. We thought that slow and steady would treat us fine.

    SAG doesn't tend to be a feature of a mtb ride with your mates, but I'm not above begging for a tea and cakes stop...
    Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.
