That's a very interesting article. I was once told about a cyclist who was so tired and his neck muscles so dead that one morning when he got on the bike to compete in that trans USA race he could not hold his head up to see where he was going. His trainer reached into the car, pulled out a bungy cord, attached one end to the cyclists helmet then hooked the other end under the back of the saddle so it would keep his head up and off he went.

I used to have a mate who's brother I used to train with. This guy just did not understand what pain was and no matter how absolutely ****ed he was he could always turn the pedals. I've seen him in situations where we have had 40 miles to go when I have decided to stop, call a friend and get a car out to pick him up because he was in such a state only to see him ignore me and carry on up the road and just not stop intil he reached home. Some people are just mad.
