milk ras character

jamesdiver

Hi all,

Is anyone familiar with the story of an old farmer competing in the Milk Ras on a high nelly back in the day? He was interviewed a few years ago in one of the broadsheets about his fascinating story. He slept rough, stole a farmers bike when his crashed out on his own. He even did a section of one stage running with the bike over his shoulders.

In his farmhouse, he has a homemade gym with cinderblocks on a bar, and goes to the shop once a month and stocks up on mostly tinned produce.

Some of it may be folklore, but its a good story nonetheless

Sorry if thats vague, those are the only points i remember, and i'd like to find the article to send to someone.



cheers,

James

Great video with the man himself.

Raw steak, raw milk, horse blood, rice and cheese. Can't argue with that.
