What's the tiredest you've ever been?

Paul B · June 10, 2007

I am completely fncked. My legs are absolutely killing me and my eyes are burning. My back is sore and every part of me aches. I tried to sleep but I must be too tired even to do that. The reason? 133 kilometres of the White Rose Claissic today, a Yorkshire bike race that had over 2400 metres of climbing (according to my new bike computer it did anyway, regardless of what their website says). There were loads of killer, killer climbs but they saved the worst till near the end; the Beamsley to Langbar section was pure, unadulterated evil. Sherpas could practice for the ascent of Everest on there it was so vertical and they expected us to ride up it! Evil b******s. Was red-hot too. The scenery though was stunning. That's 'cos God placed it there to compensate for populating the area with Yorkshiremen.

Still, one lad I was riding with had a gorgeous red fully-carbon Specialized S-Works Roubaix elite with Dura Ace and I was admiring it when he lost control on a steep section into Malham and crashed into a wall smashing up his arm and wrecking most of the £3,500 steed he was riding! So I cannot feel as bad as he must right now!
