      I'd love to see him go on the Grand Raid in Valais, Switzerland. Verbier to Grimentz, 125km, 5025m of climbing, with the highest spot over 2700m.
      Part of the UCI Marathon series, so other races on that kind could be fun.

    Well done Rich. I’d never heard of this and now you’ve inspired me to do it. I took twice as long (two days) but at 65 I’m nearly twice your age. For the record I counted 111 gates to be opened and closed. If you work on your gate technique you only need to save 15 seconds per gate to break the record.

    Rich, sincere admiration for that. Two summers ago my son and I got lost and turned what should have been a hard but doable 32 mile ride in Moab into a 46 mile beat down. While not a 160km ride, a 46 mile fight at 10K' of elevation was horrible. 100% related when you said "I just don't have it". All of you guys are such an inspiration in your own ways.
