"Macpherson Mbeya of Malawi on his way to finishing the MTB Marathon at @uci_cyclingworlds today in the Tweed Valley. Macpherson came home in 101st and last place, almost 4 hours behind the winning rider. All I can say is congratulations to him for his fortitude and for taking this massive task on - finishing this gruelling route is a great achievement. Macpherson arrived in the UK as the only Malawian athlete with no bikes and was loaned three by Billy Bisland bikes in Glasgow, to allow him to take part in Gran Fondo, Marathon and Time Trial - three massive races in four days. Macpherson himself admitted he had never seen bikes like this, let alone used them....." From: https://www.instagram.com/p/CvnGwK7IWlw/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Ah man... Sandy Wallace past away... That was THE bike shop if were around Dunfermline (odd to see hometown in the video and same spots i rode)

Great to see Bex enjoying Innerleithen and great to see cameo from Innerleithen's famous Goose and Horse

It's across at the inners side / uplift side

my first enduro as an aging 40+ year old.. was excellent and yeah the trouble with a local race in tweed valley is there are so many awesome riders of all ages that its very competitive (in a good fun supportive way).

Thrasher Skateboard magazine have a section called My War - Highly recommended. Similar principles to this video in that it shows the mad level of effort and persistence needed at this level of biking / skating. https://www.thrashermagazine.com/tag/my-war/
