And though I have done intermittent fasting, and even some longer multi-day fasts over the past few years, I don't count calories of what I eat, so I can't really confirm it's calorie restrictive on a regular basis, at least to the extent of it affecting the aging process.

For a very short ride like 100 miles, I doubt she could keep up with me. I've done many century rides in 135 minutes. But I'm about speed, I'm very fast and not so much about counting miles. Have done several 1000+ mile rides though and likely in much less time than her. Don't care to ride any further than that, longer races she'd win.

PFULMTL, what you say makes sense. The minimum I know is how to patch a flat tire, which requires a patch and some levers. I didn't see that in her kit, which is what surprised me. Getting a puncture is not uncommon, yet she doesn't seem to have the gear for that. The bike doesn't have a dynamo or a battery-powered light. Is it reasonable to assume that one will only ride during the day? I'd say that is pretty risky.

Riding 20k miles is a huge accomplishment. I'm only averaging between 3-4k a year. But I have to wonder. How the heck does she getting funds to do this? With 2 kids, full time job, I have to make time to bike. And I wish I had much more time. She travels the world, cycling in races, and we have no idea how she pays for this. Also, I like her 1x40t setup. I'm wondering if I should do this with my road bike and not have to worry about the FD anymore.

There is no entry fee for the Tour Divide. So, you really just have to get to the starting line with whatever bike you've got. Win that, and you get sponsorships. Then, you get to travel to other races sponsored.

I wonder how she'd do in a UCI road race of less distance, like 120 km, for example. Ultra endurance 'racing' seems more a test of mental fortitude and extremism than what we know as conventional racing.

I’ve wanted to do something like this for awhile, not for any competition or anything though. However, I’ve always been worried about the monetary and safety aspect. I wonder if she carries some mace or a firearm of some sort. Has anyone else rode long distances like her? If so, what is your advice for attempting a ride like this?
