      Thanks for sharing. Glad your crash was not serious. I know from experience how a crash can and still does impact my mind and body now I am cycling again after recovery. Your willingness to continue through the paid of maximum effort reminds me also to continue through my own pain and discomfort on bike rides a 10th as long and a 10th as difficult as Badlands as I cycle to regain my cycle fitness from zero one day at a time.

      Have you said that you have done or intend to do the Tour Divide race?

      „Now I am a pro Gravel rider“ 😄 I guess you were that before 😄💛 You are my personal gravel inspiration. Thank you for taking us with you on your adventures! I love your videos!

      Congratulations to you and everyone else that crossed the start line. Many years ago Sherry when I was a little boy on tv there was a cartoon character called The Mighty Atom and they had magic powers to do anything they wanted to do. I think you must be related because its amazing the difficult races you do. Keep doing them Sherry and you will never get old.

      Congratulations! 3 days is amazing. I'm 53 and did it in 10 days on my own tempo and outside of the race last May. Can't even comprehend how it's done in three days… Groetjes uit Amsterdam!

      Muy bonito el video, pero solo una recomendación, yo hablo 5 idiomas por ejemplo, si estoy hablando Alemán o Inglés, si voy a mencionar una palabra en Castellano, la pronuncio en Castellano / Español, no la pronuncio como si mi idioma materno fuese el Inglés, suena muy feo, a lo largo del video pronunciabas los pueblos españoles como si tu idioma materno fuese el Inglés, suena muy feo.

      The sensation I prefer is when you feel you cannot push on the pedals anymore, when you cannot put any power to go on and when all is in mind. Otherwise it is too easy. Nevertheless I am a bit afraid of this situation all sensible personne has to avoid.
      Almost from the start I already want to finish because I know it will be long and tough. But kilometers after kilometers, thanks to a good bike; good technology, good tachometer I begin to enjoy because I know I will be sad when I will finish. Today, sunday, I rode 92 km on Mountain bike among racing bikes, wthout drink. My average speed the first hour must have been 20km/h because of the car's circulation and traffic lights.
      The second hour it must have been 30km/h on a circuit . The third hour : 30km/h approximately on a circuit. So that, the last 45 minutes of my ride, I only did 12km/h, because I could not drink. The water was in mybackpack but I have no time to stop and open it.
      I had dry throat and legs hard as wood and I knew I couldn't drink before I finished otherwise it would mean I agreed with urban stress. I had no strengh not at all but only pure energy.
      Compared to the Urban stress, I find the spanish desert is a cute and sweet place.

      By the way, when Miss Cardona crashed, the earth blessed her. In a brutal way, surely, but a real blessing. I don't wish her to craxh, off course, but that happens
      And I guess Gereon didn't sleep for 43hours. It isn't ultracycling but ultra awakening.

      On the other hand I wonder if cyclists against the clock are or not a kind of modern rabbit of the cartoon "Alice in Wonderland".
