Saw that article before - what a legend.

In a 2004 race, he turned to see himself pursued by a howling band of black-bearded men on horseback.

‘‘Mujahedeen, shooting at me,’’ he explains. ‘‘So I ride faster.’’

Just finished reading through it - HOLY HECK!:eek:

Outside of all the madness there's the maths to go with it

In addition to races, Robic trains 335 days each year, logging some 28,000 miles, or roughly one trip around the planet.

Not including the RAAM, tour direct etc - that's amazing!

Robic is as hardcore as possible i reckon!

He recently rode the military worlds in clonmel.

Said he's going to be on the startline for 2010 Race Around Ireland!

I knew he was crackers from the moment I read this:

During the race, Robic’s brain is allowed control over choice of music (usually a mix of traditional Slovene marches and Lenny Kravitz)
