The riders rode in 5-10 mile increments depending on the terrain and weather. We used two support vehicles, one for each rider which carried our crew, safety gear, food, fluids, [...]

I used my EVO2Max Kronos + Nebula bikes and apart from 1 burger used only Hammer Nutrition. Best Part: The best part was finishing Hardest Part: The hardest part was all of it because of the extreme conditions – cold & wet! No unusual happenings.

The passage across the city of Muscat was unmarred by issues, but memorable for all the people who were waiting at the sides of the roads to cheer me on. The gastric distress I was suffering forced me to briefly stop near Fanja, 90 minutes into the attempt and worryingly, lose close to another half a liter of liquid. Putting this to the back of my mind I continued on, beneath the foothills of Oman’s Hajer mountains until the afternoon, rice cakes and energy drinks fueling me along at close to 38km/h for the first 6 hours, [...]
