Not bike related, but I have always been impressed with stout deeds of heroism and fortitude... the great explorers, the war hero’s & the survivors of great tragedy’s etc. When you read about someone who has planned an arduous task and through tenacity and grit, they’ve gone and got the bloody job done, I can’t help but doff my cap! This dude, had I just skimmed his profile, I’d have passed over as a media driven self-obsessed modern twerp! However, he caught my eye as an outdoor swimmer, summat I enjoy, so I read a little deeper and found out just what he’s on with now! I’ve followed him from his 2nd week at sea... and though he maybe a modern twerp, he’s a serious tough nut!!! All my respect... https://www.redbull.com/gb-en/projects/great-british-swim/map
