The same, but different

[Erik Bakke]

I found this Strava post amusing, plus Cyclingnews article article, and thought you guys would too. Obviously not randonneuring, but I'm going to propose it's within the spiritual halo given the crazy combo of distance and modest stopping.

Rob is a Sasky first, lived in Calgary for a while, and now is a Victoria BC resident.  

If you're trying to make sense of the effort, he was a top 10 Tour of California Rider, a long time pro tour rider, Canadian Time Trial champion, and if you want to test yourself, the Moose Mountain Road KOM holder (in the midst of a 169km ride).

Beyond the distance and the long days... that elevation is killer!

That guy is unworldly!  Yes, similar physical stress as a 1200 km randonnee, as you referred to.  Interesting he will race, yes, race the Tour Divide this summer.  Yikes, I get tired from an hour on the trainer.

Keep me posted when you see news on this guy.

Thanks,

Bill
