I have my doubts that we'll be doing our regular Tuesday morning Cragg Vale ride next week....

I wonder if he'll want to race on Thursday night...

He can probably smell the cake at the finishing line by now.

And vice versa....

Wonder if he was aiming for the under 4 day mark. Only just over it

His time is going to be hard to beat in the future. That's a convincing lead he's got.

Anyhow, time to stick the kettle on and watch a moving dot on my screen. ๐Ÿ™‚

Just discovered this thread/race/tracking and gutted I have missed it all. This is the kind of thing that just blows me away, hopefully the guys that are doing it will get to read this and to you guys ... absolutely incredible going! Majorly impressed (and envious) over here so hats off to you all for even competing and to that man Phil... Just WOW, you have some bloody strong mentality there to do that, really... wow.

anus.... the race is won but far from over, still a few more days of willing the back markers onto the finish, still a few more to drop out so close to the finish but oh so far for the state some of them will be in.

More spot watching as they slowly roll to the end ๐Ÿ™‚

It isn't over until the last spot makes it, even if it's after 8 days and they are still rolling round ๐Ÿ™‚
