A Kiwi cyclist has battled lightening storms, freezing conditions and avoided being eaten by wolves, to win the world's toughtest mountain bike race. Christchurch's Joe Nation rode to victory in the gruelling two thousand kilometre silk road Mountain race, through Kyrgyzstan in just six days.To make things even tougher it's an unsupported race, meaning no crew to restock you along the way and no soliciting help from locals; any assistance has to be freely given and unplanned, Joe Nation spoke to Lisa Owen.
