Re: Lachy’s Tour Divide
Just watched it. Not a bad film but they missed so many trail highlights. Was mainly flat bits

Tom and I watched it. We were amazed at how quick a rider he is compared to us.

Re: Lachy’s Tour Divide
'Twas good that although makes the TD even less appealing - give me tussocks over death mud any day!
Also pretty much ends the 'was he assisted by the film crew' argument as he was, but doesn't make any fuss about the fact or the record. Still good going, particularly given his AXS croaking - It would be good to see him do the group start - as has been said on here previously, Lachlan seems an all round good guy

Re: Lachy’s Tour Divide
I watched the first 15 mins - paused it as I want Helen to watch it with me.
He is quick - Fernie in 9 hours!! That's 150 miles and around 4000m of climbing, offroad. For a flat road ride that would be a respectable time.
I am looking forward to reminders of the scenery - I might even look through my photos!

Watched in but need to watch it again with less distractions.
Appeared to have rained most of the time, looks like he didn’t suffer with that infamous sticky clay type of mud but the weather sure didn’t look like it was in his side! That lightning storm looked horrific

Fernie was lunch for me, on the second day - and no Koko Claims back then either.

I'd love to have seen whether he rode much of koko claims....suspect he did!Blackhound wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 12:06 pm Fernie was lunch for me, on the second day - and no Koko Claims back then either.
I do wish there was more film of the landscapes and scenery - less of the hotel rooms....but camera access is clearly a thing. He did get the shed on the Great Basin where a few of us waited out a storm though!
I enjoyed watching it - although I recognised relatively few places..
