Method to the madness.
What most people skip with
@rob_britton is the meticulous planning, scouting, scanning over maps, tire choices, layer choices, how much nutrition is needed, when the headlamp needs to go on, the juggling of battery life of half a dozen gadgets, will resupply be open when I pass by, etc, etc…..It's all quite exhausting to watch from afar, and this is before the actual pedalling even begins.
Before the fitness is in place, flights and accommodation are booked; there are the logistics of these goals. Rob might just be the master of this skill set as he takes it all in his stride, despite the heavy fatigue that comes with the goal itself.
