cheers, that’s good to know.

I’m guessing he’s still sleeping 😉

Well done. Any update / mini write up of some ofthe highs and lows?

Drums fingers awaiting a ride report. 😉

I saw a load of riders, some being naughty and riding 4 abreast, heading to / from a checkpoint in town on the first day. Then I was talking to a Swiss sounding guy on Thursday outside the LBS who had destroyed 3 tubs on our ‘very bad roads’.

I’d love to give give it ago next time round, but I don’t think I’d go straight on to Istanbul like a nutter doing the Transcontinental!

Cheers,
Jamie

Not stealing the bandit’s thunder, but a couple of lads I know did it.

Check day 3 onwards if you are pressed for time.

That’s a great write up. Thanks for the link.

Blimey, that was ace 🙂

Thanks for the support chaps.
Just had a week in France “recovery” (beer and bbqs)

100 or so hours total, strava has it as just under 60 hours riding time.

I’ll write up a report asap.
Suffice to say, Never again…

A couple of my mates did it too, rider no.s K42 and K43; it sounded challenging to say the least!

Bike for the event:

3 problems with it over the ride:

Mudguard/seatstay bracket snapped on the way into Edinburgh – mended with ‘leccy tape
Puncture in the rear tyre discovered at Market Rasen.
On fixing the puncture, discovered a broken spoke which was replaced with the spare.

There’s not a single item of kit I carried that I didn’t need at some point or other. Had a few bits I didn’t need, like puncture patches, but I know what would happen if I didn’t have them.

Worn out the rear tyre now, and spd cleats too.

I’ve entered you for this next year – Small Bike Ride

Report:

LEL 2013

Great write up, and well done. Lots of respect due to you for doing it, and your family for supporting you 🙂

I used to have that same GE jersey, sold it to someone on here. Was it you (at least I could then say my jersey had done the LEL)

thanks!
No, I’ve had the GE jersey for years, bought new when GE stuff used to be silly cheap to import…

Well done to you. 🙂

I was watching your times as you approached Crowland Southbound (I live there). Sadly you had a kip and then passed through in the middle of the night. The welcoming committee mutineed and all went to bed 🙂

Good effort, you still look pretty fresh in the pics.

Great write up Paul, good to see the On One out on an epic again.

Cheers Peter. On One did me proud!

Well done. I was expecting a SS belt drive though… 🙂
