Rich is such an inspiration! I love how he just keeps going, only ever stopping when he's finished the event or the event is, literally, about to finish him! Having done a few, much tamer, marathon 100km+ rides I can so identify with those trudging-up-that-last-hill moments! Well done, Rich! PS - awesome to see Blake there to support our hero - GMBN bromances are the stuff of legend.

I remember taking up cycling after about a ten year hiatus when I was in my mid-thirties. I already was noting something of an age factor. Now that I'm in my 70's, I know, indeed, that was the beginning of the decline. Held on pretty well through my 50's, but the steep downhills in fitness started in my 60's. Enjoy your 40's and 50's while you can. Not as easy as when you were 20-something, but you can still reach a decent level of fitness with steady work.

I do recommend trying the Grand Raid in Valais. It basically is around the same place as the GCN Tour Des Stations rides are, but you just stay up the mountain. It's also a stage of the Marathon World Cup 125km, 5000m+ of climbing between Verbier and Grimentz

I once went way beyond my distance, was aching and exhausted and still 15km away from trail head. I took a rest and fell asleep 😮, woke up to realise I had 50mins before the car park automatic lock in 😮😮. I was out of water food and energy, honestly felt I was dying, so got going and remembered where I'd seen some blackberries, pedalled to there and found them, cleaned out a whole hedge row 😂 and rode like the bejaysiz back to the trailhead. Made it with 10 mins to spare. Then an hour drive home, I was never so tired. A deep deep drain of energy, you can only know it if you've pushed beyond your limit (20 times in a row)

So good to watch. 100kmers are a suffer fest. I did one a couple years ago. Heat went up over 30⁰ and i realised at one stage i was riding at walking pace. Had to pull over and manage the heat exhaustion symptoms for the rest of the race, but it's still fond memories despite the pain!

Man you made me want to get an XC bike now!! It'd be good if you could do a series on graded trails for XC(Marathon)/Enduro/DH beginner, intermediate and advanced as the disparity in grading (in the UK at least) is crazy. A blue at Antur Stiniog is like a black at Llandegla.
