Road of Death?Just been on a jolly round South America with a bit of riding in Bolivia thrown in. Good times!
Surely the correct line wasn't following the road? Welcome back, how is that radioactive Ti beastie goinhh?
Did you do the trails up the gondola?I skipped the road of death but did a couple of ride days with one of the main operators in La Paz (Gravity Bolivia)- One was a ride similar to road of death (i.e mostly rough dirt road) that started at 5300m up and finished 40km later at around 1500m in the jungle valleys below.
The other ride day with Gravity was a morning hooning around on the scree slopes then massive descent back into town through all the mad Bolivian traffic. Longest continuous ride on a DH bike I've ever done (bout 30Km)
Spent a day in Quito in Ecuador hitting up some of the local park trails. Great fun but lungbusting stuff due to the altitude

The Dirty Weekend 24 has a 3hr solo and the upcoming Melrose 18 has 6hr duo ebike.One of the last 6-hour races I did had an eeeeb category, pretty sure they had rules about no recharging and only one battery allowed, so e-management became a strategic thing; riders had to be careful how they used the power to ensure they didn't run out too soon & be left with a heavy lazy bike for the last hour or more.
For me, that would be the most pyrrhic of victories; knowing that I lacked anything real would haunt me like a tell-tale heart.The Dirty Weekend 24 has a 3hr solo and the upcoming Melrose 18 has 6hr duo ebike.
The same 2 people win the Melrose one on suspected chipped bikes and extra batteries, so riding all the way in turbo.
Having a 2 person team makes it easier to do the battery swap.
The 3hr is harder to cheat as it would mean a battery swap mid race.

I watched the women's game on the weekend, it was good. The women don't fake injuries anywhere near as much as the men and are way less boring.Watch soccer. Stupid fucking game.
