Josh has 100km to go!

Josh is smashing through the final section of GBDURO. He now has just 100km left and all the gnarliest climbing is well behind him.

At this rate we think he'll finish in the very wee hours of tomorrow morning, so it could be a late night for Josh's legions of dot-watching fans. Will the adrenaline of nearing the finish line give Josh the extra boost to finish today, or will the cumulative fatigue and back to back all nighters start to tell their toll?

My memory of the final segment was trying to nurse my shredded and delicate tyres across sharp rocky sections, with a bike that was systematically falling apart - just hoping it would all make it to the finish line intact. All our riders will come into the final stretch in different states with their own problems and preoccupations accumulated over thousands of kilometres of punishing racing but realistically when you've made it this far, you know it's in the bag and you can enjoy the flat and fast final kilometres to the sea at the finish.
