Biking is one thing. Bicycling 100 miles is entirely another. But what about the bicycle ride that last all day and all night? At some point, you cross a line and at that point, cycling, becomes ultracycling.
This blog chronicles the story of a guy, his bike and a strange obsession with finding the outside edge of his personal limits.
In this chapter, having broken the UMCA record, we find our hero struggling to overcome the aftermath of a nasty bike crash in order to achieve a top ten finish at the inimitable Furnace Creek 508
For the complete story, follow this link, and read from the back to the front. The story won't make anymore sense when you've finished, but at least you'll know as much as the rest of us.

Signal will be going away soon so wanted to get this in. Ross is in great spirits and much more relaxed than the start of the race. The leaders have spread themselves out a bit which is nice because there are fewer cyclists for us to worry about as the roads begin to twist more.
Ross has a decent climb coming up. It’s beginning to warm up: 70 degrees.
