What is your biggest worry about taking part in this event?
Running out of peanut butter and apples.
A strange cycling experience?
On one of my rides I met a priest from Slovakia who tried to convince me to join a monastery in Bavaria. I kindly declined the offer.
What age did you stop using stabilizers on your bike?
Quite early actually, but I'm considering buying a quad so they may be back on soon!

A big thank you from all of us at V12 in advance!
