AURA in duo for the turtle

Today, we are sharing another feedback on the 2022 edition of the BikingMan AURA, which nicely complements the experiences of Rémi and Patrick. This time, Damien dit La Tortue, gone in pair with his son, Pierre-Louis dit Pilou, tells us about his adventure in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, facing in particular the heat and drought of this month of August, an opponent of size which will not have spared them throughout the course, regularly disturbing the essential quest for water.
But Damien’s good humor and energy seem to have never been undermined and transpire throughout his detailed story. Not even the double-digit percentages faced in the ascent of the Grand Colombier and the wear of the bicycle chocks could slow down this beautiful duo participating in their first ultra without assistance and who will have been able to complete their challenge in barely more than 90 hours. A performance perhaps more within their reach than rearranging the loading of their Citroen C3 after the race?

So don’t waste a moment and immerse yourself in the Turtle’s adventure to find out what their biggest challenge in AURA has been, to read here:
