I've always wondered how those ultra guys (and gals) would do on a bike. I figured they'd have some wind...
I met up with the guy mentioned.
He could have done better but being his first entry he was not sectioned and started well back. Passing 500+ riders was problematic in the least.
Next year he will be placed sub 9 hour at start and will be in a better position to drop time.
I didn't think about the congestion for whatever reason
Maybe it is time to divide this into 2 events 2 days. One a ride to finish, perhaps for charity. the other a race with a true pre qualifying schedule
