RIDERS! The Greatest Grand Tour is in full swing.
Pierre is reporting live(-ish) from the Stages.
1. Joyride + Cobbler
2. Nine Hammers
3. Fight Club
4. Half is Easy + G.O.A.T.
5. Norway
6. Who Dares + The Cure
7. Defender + Attacker
It will all be fine…
Find out how it all started (three videos pre-tour):
A. Announcement reaction
The tour announcement gives me enough of a reason to end my (not so) brief visit in couchlandria.
I decided to document my journey…
This is the first part:
[ - YouTube]
It’s fun. Weird. Amateur-ish. Just silly. All of the above. Maybe you guys will still enjoy it. Part 2 - Route Announcement Reaction.
Part 3 - Training - Are you Ready?
B. Stages reveal reaction
The route is announced and the stages are revealed.
Oooh boy… I didn’t take it so well.
I’m still documenting my journey… This is the second part.
Click here for Part 1 . And Part 3 is out, too.
Sorry for the shameless pitch for the Davis Phinney Foundation (not sorry).
[ - YouTube]
I hope you guys will enjoy it. What do you think?
Encourage me to train harder, ride faster, and help expand the Davis Phinney Foundation’s important work and programming:

Ladies and gentleman,
fellow sufferlandrians,
honoured knights,
Part 3 of my Tour of Sufferlandria video series is out now:
[ - YouTube]
Sadly, on a scale from ‘wannabe-cool’ to ‘funny’ it’s close to the wannabe spectrum. Part 1 - Part 2

Fun fact: I had to go to work with the 'stache while preparing for the video - and totally forgot I had a video conference coming up…

That Pain Shake looks delicious! I’m going to go and make one right now, as I’m about to a Nine Hammers AND Fight Club double.

Yeah, secret recipe now shared. Be careful, you need a blender with blades forged in the lava of Mt. Sufferlandria.
I wanna say, this comment of yours could be the crazies I heard this tour so far. A double??

@Pierre These are fantastic! Always a few moments that give me a right good chuckle.
Especially love the end of the first video when you’re figuring out the bike and getting to know it better. Brilliant!

Busy week ahead. Sorry I couldn‘t cheer you on.

double… I gave myself 3 hours recovery so that I could watch the crew in Hobart scrap for 5 rounds.
