Has he airbrushed his thigh gap?
Sorry Rob, had to be done

If anybody feels like being a blue dot junkie over the next bank holiday, paste this link, grab a pack of bikkies and watch. Better still, grab your bike and come and find me.

It will only be live for the duration of the event and for 24 hours afterwards.

Well, the weather held and we got it done. 400 SDW miles in 55 hours. Happy bunny. And now a full happy bunny, having spent the last few days catching up on food.

Good effort sir ,that's an excellent average speed ๐
Wow. It's like everything I said about this forum yesterday.
In one thread.
Well done STW. ๐
Keen to know where and how often you used the Tri Bars, when you have time that is, keep eating !
Skis got used on all 'hard packed smooth' trails and the tiny bits of flat such as the top of Cocking and Heyshott down. There are loads of little places to get on them for a minute or two at a time and they can even get used on gentle ups such as the long concrete drive near the A27.
Would not consider doing anything like this again without them as you can hide from the wind and get in a higher gear and grab a mile or hour for free when on them.
Strangely there are no pics of me on them as I would always be on the brakes slowing for a pitstop when I saw the crew.
Serious respect Rob.
I was out on the SDW riding my cross bike on the Sunday (90 miles) and was hoping to run into you at some point. It's such a beautiful place to ride isn't it? So wild looking when the clouds started rushing over the ridge-line as the weather closed in during the afternoon.
Your story has inspired me to continue pushing my endurance and take on rides of increasing epicness. I will certainly be putting tri bars on my long distance machine when I build one, makes tons of sense. (Some suspension would be nice too! The descent into Jevington on a cross bike was pure misery.)
Love the reason for the bibs over the shirt. Practicality trumping style.
Mate that is a pic to hang above the fireplace!
Well, you don't look at the mantelpiece whilst you're stoking the fire, so a safe place then.
Chexk out some of the tri-bars made by USE (Exposure Lights), they do some amazing stuff as well as lights!
top bombin' well done!
