...BECAUSE IT'S THE LONGEST AND MOST SCENIC RACE IN THE COUNTRY.

...BECAUSE YOU CAN ONLY RACE IT ONCE A YEAR.

...BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW GOOD YOU ARE UNTIL YOU HAVE KICKED IT'S BUTT.

...BECAUSE THE MEDAL YOU GET AT THE END, YOU HAD TO EARN... BIG TIME.

...BECAUSE IT'S OLD SCHOOL; NO COTTON WOOL. NO SHORTCUTS, NO EXCUSES.
