32 minutes is too long for me, but I enjoyed the 10 or so minutes I watched. Very cool! ---

First, those terrain changes must just suck. Second, I can’t imagine how jittery the world must be when you get off the bike at the end. ---

I can almost understand that. I’ve never been able to understand how the more urban biking like [this one in Valparaiso, Chile](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFuSjk7jv_M) is even possible. ---

> [@Ike\_Witt](#): > > First, those terrain changes must just suck. > Second, I can’t imagine how jittery the world must be when you get off the bike at the end. Pretty jittery. Its hard to walk because all your muscles are super-set for pedaling/sitting/standing on a bicycle, not for walking. Plus your brain is still trying to process your surroundings as tho they were whipping past you at 100km/hr+ for little while. ETA: I hadn’t watched this years run; no pileups, I noticed. ---
