Come on Rich only 6 miles left. 🙂
I was worried there for a moment. It looked as if he had thrown the bike into the loch. Or maybe he has and he is running the last 6 miles.
It is so good to see Iona still digging in there.
Looking forward to seeing how many KOMs he's got on Strava.
Seriously he was out practising (I checked that on the grammar website) shouldering his bike with kit attached. Sounds as if that may have been quicker than the drag bike through bog method, but he does like his sleep.
Come on Rich, get it done 🙂
Yay.
Showing Rich as finished. 😀
Race Status Finished
Well done mate that's awsumz.
He did it ... He did it...He did it... WOOOOOOOOHHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Not bad for an old man.
Chapeau Rich 🙂
Wonderful 🙂
Excellent 🙂
Good man. Looks like Markus is just about to descend the Devil's Staircase. Couple of hours and he'll be finished too.
Well done Rich, utterly amazing.
Cha-bloody-peau Rich! Next year he'll be taking minipips round with him, nailed on!
Nice one Rich!
Minipips has already penciled it in. Rich may not be so keen.
Looks like Markus made it in before midnight. That's a monster day on its own, let alone after 6 others!
Just Iona left, and she's still on the go at the 450 mile mark.
Amazing effort.
We'll done sir Pips.
Inspirational
Any clues on Iona ?
She appears to be about 400m off course at Tomich, not too far from Fort Augustus.
Cafe there ?
Has she run out of time to able to complete, as in has to rejoin the real world for work.
Or just having a rest and carrying on later ?
Hope she can make it round, another day should do it..... keep going 🙂
plot looks to be bang on hotel / PO in Tomich..
You see more detail than me sir, Ta for the update.
Cake stop then 🙂
Nah, I use the VeloViewer Flipper overlay, puts Iona's track onto an OS map 🙂
It does look like Iona is heading for Cannich. Shame if so, she's put in a valiant effort.
Her tracker is currently showing her at the Tomich Hotel, but also shows the last update as 2.4 hours ago. Her SPOT signal has been intermittent all week so it's likely she move on some time ago.
Just checked back, on my screen she is still in the same spot.
Overnighter with a bath tub perhaps 🙂
Will look back later see if anythings changed or Iona's spot marker has moved.
Ah good, she's on her way to Fort Og...
About 80 miles left all up.
Got word from Iona - FIRST OFF she's not scratching, just going to be back a little later than planned. Yesterday was a bit of a nightmare apparently - but otherwise, she is doing well!
Great news. Don't know why, never met the girl, but I'm here cheering her on. Fantastic effort.
Great news! Hope she makes it back in one piece.
Yay, keep going Iona!
good going!! all the best..
If it's same Iona I'm thinking of, was in ER(o)C then moved N to Aviemore, extra cheer as another ex-Edinburgh that decamped for the bright northern lights..
Right - what bike is she riding? A part of my hopes that it is indeed a red post bike, but I feel that I will be disappointed. 😀
Through Ft Og now
I have no idea who Iona is or what she's like as a rider but she must have balls off steel to still be going after this long.
Just brilliant that she still has the will to go on. 😀
What Stu said 🙂
🙂
Still moving towards Fort William.
Anyone able to post/link a decent piccy of Iona, my google search turned up a square headed BMC male pro rider.
Just curious like 🙂 see who we have been following.
Stalker alert!!!
She was training using these in March.....

Spectacular will power.
come on Iona!
At the head of Loch Lochy now.
Club stalk 🙂
Approaching Ft William.
Looks like today should be the last day of green do****ching for us all 🙂
Until Tour Divide in two weeks.
Apparently Iona started with a taped up Achilles injury. A fantastic effort on such a tough route.
Yay! She's on the move again.
