The long blog post (with powerfile) is here:

The short blog post reads something like this:

Tied for first. One of the great thing about non-sanctioned crazy rules events is that two riders with a 30 minute gap and 20 kilometers to go can agree to drop to recovery pace over the steep remaining climbing and end the punishment of their bodies.

We came across the line with an overall average speed of 33.5 kph for the 250 kilometers. I spent 50 kilometers off the front on my own. The two of us spent a collective 70 more kilometers off the front.
