congratulation to MP and Jobob,
the ride can be super hot. Hot enough to melt the tire (being so much closer to sun)
air is thin, sun is blazing hot in some years... Oui. Sounds like a year when everyone was reduced into raisin, dried out!!
MP, I don't know of too many who have participated in DR so many years in a row. whew!!! 7 or 8 years in a row of finishing all 5.
superwoman if there ever was one.
On DR anything is possible. I've seen guys snap a chain, sucked up a derailure into the rear wheel, guy go over the edge coming down ebetts because of black ice... defeated by the scorching sun.
Good wonderful memories!!!
