So the only person who can do this will be a non working,semi pro,half sponsored cyclist.

Seen a lot of them begging for epic entries on other social media over the last few weeks.

Let's see who will win.

If I wanted to be shouted at and abused for a week straight I'd go home gesuip and smelling of perfume, and still have a better week than riding with this guy.

IF this guy swears at his partners wait till he has to ride with me - I've been known to average 11,5kmph on a 70k mtb race with 1600m of elevation.

11.5 mph is 18.4kph which is quite a healthy average speed considering the pro's go a shade over 20....

 

If 11.5kph then ja.... I don't think you will make it past the fitness filters

If its 11.5km/h that was just about my average speed for the entire Epic last year! And I had the joy of his Missus  puking on me after water point 3 on day 1... 

 

Having said that, I  did a lot of riding with him and the other lonerangers over the rest of the week and thought he was an alright guy.
