Matt Page, sometime poster on here is nearly halfway through already.

thought some may be interested. he's currently got about 5miles on the previous FKN held by Mark Beaumont.

28h 35m to beat.

Matt is just always up there isn't he, year after year, fast as pretty much anyone on rides like this. Perhaps the most consistent and impressive endurance rider out there. Really hope he get the record.

And let's call it a record because it will be. Its not as if there might be some dark horse out there who's gone round quicker and kept it quiet.

He claims to have 'off' periods, but I've yet to see him slow down at all.

I can't even begin to imagine how to approach a ride like that. It really is impressive stuff.

For reasons as yet unknown it seems Matt has had to call it a night at 3:50am.

i'm going to speculate and say it was his knee giving him grief again.

gutted for him, but it wouldn't have been a decision made lightly.

Massive effort to get that far, so very well done!
