I was the chap with the tassles hanging off the saddle and the pink Tooty horn.
Thank you so much for picking me up after i bounced! Got big bruise on the hip and a swollen knee, but if you hadn't helped me i'd still be sat there.
Thanks again 😀
No pics of me either as of yet, team 362. Joolze has got 2 of our team, and hairy hippy has one.
There was a few occasions of me being flashed though (wahoo!) - particularly the right hand route down the log drop & the river crossing.
I was gutted as I missed the log drop & then saw that photos were being taken. I only missed it as I came into it on a funny line & decided at the last minute to go round rather than over.
Hopefully Mr Joolze will have a pic, as I was convinced I was finally going to buy myself a riding pic (if there's any decent ones) at this event.
Next time I'll solo the event.
Pairs 24 was fine, but I had more miles in my legs and it'd be good to find out just how many I could actually manage. Maybe 15?
I'll take a tent assistant next time, not sure having 2 elderly dogs who need attending to after every 2-lap stint was such a bright move this time around.
And more than 1 pair of decent shorts as my nether regions looked a tad raw!
PS - Does anyone else have really odd lap times from the very outset?
Okay Dave's shots are now up - He's got at least 3 of team 362, so hopefully he's completed the set;0)

Wahoo! Yep, Joolze.......he did get some good ones coming around the log drop......I was sure I got flashed there, just wasn't able to look & see who it was (although it looked like a tag team covering both routes!)
This one's me......

Read the whole post! This has been replied to twice now!
Results have been up since Sunday night! [url= http://timelaps.co.uk/results.aspx ]HERE[/url]! It's been posted about 3 times now!
Edit: damn my getting interrupted halfway through typing a reply!
(1) 01:00:47, (2) 01:17:57, (3) 01:41:42, (4) 01:47:36, then ... (5) 00:49:37 (6) 00:48:27,
No way can these figures be accurate for our 2 man pairs 24hrs team. One minute we're supposed to be doing just short of 2hrs per lap, next we're each almost an hour faster. No punctures.
This is off the xcracer website from the Timelaps guys...
"Hi Guys full results are here
http://www.timelaps.co.uk/assets/upload … 25/07/2009 and there is a rider comparison at the top of the results screen. As some of you will have noticed some 1st and 2nd lap times are out, unfortunately we had a technical issue which has affected the 1st lap time for a number of riders, this then has a knock on effect on to the 2nd lap time. Normally we would be able to sort this out but on this occasion its just not possible. Our apologies, we hope it doesn't dull what was a great event!!"
I agree, it doesn't mean anything really.
The end result (pun intended) was a good day & night's riding with a good bumch of riders.
How lucky were we with the night ride? Almost inch-perfect, warm & dry.
See you next year for much of the same.
BTW - rider comparison doesn't work in Firefox d.t. scripting error . I t does work in IE (again). A lot of sites don't seem to test their stuff outside IE 👿
Death stare........

First event like this for me and i really enjoyed it, good course especially the cottage return section, even more so at night 😀
Were there any Singlespeed teams in the top 14 of the 12hr open mens category as if not i can claim to be in the highest placed SS team?
Oh and any pics of someone in a blue top for team 514 would be good as Joolze or Mr Joolze dont have any 🙁
Feeling good... although what's with the tongue?

over 2,500 pictures and none of me so far! 😥
I wasn't that easy to miss only rider doing the torchbearer in Royal Navy Kit and I did the river crossing EVERY lap! 😀
Does anyone have anything they would be willing to pass on? 🙄
Rob.
Joolze got a cracking one of me in the river crossing, think it was lap one of the Torchbearer

Not for a Submariner! 😛
Crispy that is me not looking my best 😥 and yes I was going for that big last lap hurrah! 😆 I'll be back next year soloing the twelve hour! 😳
Soloing the 12hr next year - nice. Rummour has it you were practicing this year during the pairs..............if you know what I mean 😉
I have this vision in my mind's eye of a bloke creating absolute mayhem below decks as you belt around the sub, on a bike, doing lap after lap, meanwhile the rest of the crew try to do some work around you!
I guess in my film you'll be directed by the Cohen Bros and have to be George Cooney.

Lets just say I did more consecutive laps than I had anticipated! 8)

You've spent far too much time infront of Hollywood make believe! 😕
If you wish to replicate cycling on board a “boat” remove everything from your under stairs cupboard, put an ancient decrepit exercise bike in there, then pack as many boxes of tinned veg around as you can leaving just enough room to get on the bike. 😆
Now start your training but make sure before you do you brief your wife/ partner/ house mates that during every training period you are to be interrupted you every ten minutes, climbing past you to check the gas meter/ pull out a tin from the very furthest point. Now repeat for periods of up to 8 weeks! 😡
That's why I left ❗
Hello everyone.
If anyone has any stories or photos they would like to share about any of the Twentyfour12 years then I would love to hear from you.
It's for a book project I am working on that we aim to release in time for christmas. It's going to be available on Amazon and its about the story of Twentyfour12 so far, featuring photos and writing from a variety of different sources.
To find out more email me nick_bellhouse@trekbikes.com i look forward to hearing from you.
You left the broom cupboard (& job) to go cycling out-doors? In the time of a recession.
Are you Harry Potter? 😛
