Keep going @BrendanRendall . Running even one marathon distance away from the cheering crowds and atmosphere of an event is very difficult to do - Amazing effort 💪👊 twitter.com/BrendanRendall…

Well done to everyone who completed any of the stages, they were super tough! You can still ride the real thing this September or you can sign up shortly to hear about the 2021 edition. sportstoursinternational.co.u… twitter.com/GoZwift/status…

@broleurcc Once you've tried brand new Challenge tyres, all other clincher tyres are easy to fit in our opinion. Although once they are on (even if it takes several hours), it's always worth the effort.👌
