100-200km transfers sound about right.

Some say Matthew Fairbrother isn't event awake when he rides to each event - he is sleep riding and the mountains move towards him. Also - some say that he actually rode from North America to Tasmania over the Pacific Ocean. The great Pacific was too afraid to let him sink as it feared he'd be angry....

This kid is the pure spirit animal of mountain biking. Sponsors, lend him your gear! And some cash, kid's gotta eat too.

Entering an Enduro - Sure Racing w a broken bone in my foot - Okay Bikepacking to and from - I suppose, just to say I did it. . . Having to change tires out, including the cush-core - That's gonna be a no for me dog.

I'm waiting for him to start using a pedal boat to cross oceans.

Watching the live timing I knew he was thereabouts, and then saw that he’d finished dead last after stage six. When this video opened with him drilling out a moon boot to fix an SPD I was fearing the worst, so was happy to learn at the end of the video that he just suffered a few mechanicals.

Anyone gonna talk about how he just ran 44 km to a bike shop to fix a snapped chain?! It’s on his instagram story.

The road along the coast there is dead flat as well. Only one hill he could coast down into St Helens at the end, after running up it.

Serious props to Matthew, hope it comes together for him this year! Don't think his race could have been much more troublesome, but it could have been great. Onto the next one (after the ride there!)

I feel like this is an early chapter in a story much bigger than the 2023 UCI season. You're mean as Matt
