Apparently they had e-bikes in the last race. they weren't allowed to win though. I didn't see any, but I think the riders would have had a tough time getting up the hills with all that weight on the bike.

And going downhill wouldn't be much advantage either because you'd have to keep your brakes on to stop you flying into the river ;-)

Yeah, so Murray is actually only running about 20kms with his long legs while I'm running about 80kms with my stumpy ones. ;-)
