I ended up coming out again for another session, so I managed to get in over twenty laps. I was spent after twenty-someodd laps. Major props to the rider who did 107!!!
ETA: For those who don't realize it, doing 107 laps in four hours is averaging 26.75 laps an hour, or about a 2:15 lap time each lap. That doesn't sound like much, but the rider AVERAGED those times for a for hour race. When you consider the race was red-flagged, the solo rider's lap times are actually faster. Sustaining those lap times for the entire race, when your legs are getting fatigued after lap 10, is incredible!
