T.T. star finishes in just over 18 days

Guy Martin has finished the Tour Divide Mountain Bike Challenge.

Under the alias of Terry Smith he has cycled over 2,700 miles from Alberta in Canada to New Mexico with no support.

Guy or Terry set a target of completing the course inside 20 days and did so in just over 18 days.

He averaged just under 150 miles a day carrying camping equipment and the minimum supplies needed for each section.

RE: Guy completes Tour Divide challenge
good for him
im sure plenty will come on and slag him off for something to do with only doing it for publicity
but even in my prime on a mountain bike now way could i do that 3 or 4 days in a row never mind 18 days and 2700 miles
respect where its due
also explains why i couldnt find guy listed when i looked the tour up
well done terry smith

Well done Terry / Guy.

A hell of an effort and worthy of great praise (regardless of who you are).

If it's Guy or if it's a bloke called Terry Smith that's one hell of an achievement and something to be very proud of.
