Matt's TTW '22 Recap⁠ - Day Three ⁠ ⁠ Lake S

Matt's TTW '22 Recap⁠ - Day Three ⁠
⁠
Lake Sumner to Castle Hill Village⁠
Moving: 18:59:00⁠
Stopped: 5:01:00⁠
Overall distance: 567km ⁠
⁠
The Dampier Range is the first really big hurdle on the TTW. It's the one that makes you question the sanity of your decision to take on this race at all. ⁠
⁠
It's tough. An unsubtle mix of pushing and carrying your bike is the only way over this barrier, and even the promised and hard earned downhill presents challenges of its own! ⁠
⁠
But damn is it beautiful, especially caught in the early light of a perfect day.⁠

Matt's TTW '22 Recap⁠ - Day Two⁠ ⁠ Murchison

Matt's TTW '22 Recap⁠ - Day Two⁠
⁠
Murchison to Lake Sumner⁠
Moving: 15:37:15⁠
Stopped: 8:22:45⁠
Overall distance: 433km⁠
⁠
Up at 4, away at 5, after prepping filled pasta for breakfast in camp kitchen - trying to hurry but seems to take forever - the downside of comfy digs and heavy legs. ⁠
⁠
I ride into sunrise heading for Maria Saddle, beautiful views and cool air - the ragged low tops feel familiar - like a scaled down ride through the Arve Valley. Soon breakfast and the dubious delights of Springs Junction. ⁠
⁠
Pick up the resupply at Boyle river - will I actually want any of the stuff I put in the box? I foresee a mountain of discarded OSM bars and over sugary treats. ⁠
⁠
And then, the reward of some technical beech forest single track through the Hope Kiwi. This was my second night stop last year - I hope to push on a bit further, sticking to my rough 7 day schedule.⁠

TTW '22 Recap⁠ - Day One⁠
⁠
Start time: 7am⁠
Cape Farewell to Murchison⁠
Cabin: 5.5hrs stop⁠
Moving time: 16:11:00⁠
Stopped time: 49:00 minutes⁠
Marker: 267km⁠
⁠
The aim was to make Murchison for the night at about the 270km mark, with a decent rest in a real bed. Comfort while it was still an option! I rolled in about 11pm feeling good until about the last hour when my energy dipped and not another OSM bar could be faced. ⁠
⁠
Some real food and 4 hours sleep felt great. I could see on the tracking website that other riders were pushing on past the town and further into the night (the front runners were long gone!), but this felt about right for me. ⁠
⁠
I set the alarm for 4am, planning to grab breakfast at Springs Junction.⁠
