FURTHER Perseverance carrys nighttime curfews on some mountain sectors which add to the tactics and luck involved in reaching the finishline before cutoff. HUNT Beyond rider Philippa Battye says ‘This will be my third time racing Further and second time riding this route, and the draw of the mountains is strong right now. The goal posts have been shifted by Camille this year which could make for a very different (harder) race - if I make the curfew cut offs that is. If I don't make them it'll just be another Pyrenean pizza party which I'm also perfectly fine with. Pretty excited about going head to head with myself in 2022, as theres not much as satisfying than outdoing your former self. That and one of Calous finishers omelets at 2200m.’ #ultracylcling #ultrarace #bikepacking #furtherperseverance #explorebybike 📸 camillejmcmillan philippabattye
