    Yeah, what she said.

    Deeiamond, you rose your bike for 18 straight hours? Holy-moly. That's a story I'd like to hear.

    Hahaa... I think i told it before on here somewhere. It was a charity ride and I'd signed up, 24 hrs ride. So I rode. and rode and rode. 10am until... 3am.. i could not ride anymore coz my bits were very sore.. (moisture and padded tights don't mix very well) I turned off the route and went home for a short nap. As i lay my head down, i saw lightning and thunder in the distance anyways. So i was glad to escape the rain coz i had an exam to sit for the day after. Then i woke up at 7 and rode the remaining 3 hrs to the final pitstop.

    during the ride, i had lots of encouragement, coz i signed up with a friend and some of our friends came and rode some parts with us. There were many pit stops with drinks and gels and bars available for us. and fruit and meals. At some parts i really crashed hard, but then i started taking a gel every 2 or three hours so i did alright.

    It was mentally hard to keep going, coz physically it was tough but not as hard as convincing yrself that u had to go on. And i'm quite impressed that I did it..

    But that was almost a year ago.. But for some reason I think i could still do that now. just maybe at a more relaxed pace, coz i havent been riding that much recently.

    everyone should try it at least once. U'll be amazed at what you can find in yourself to do something like that.
