Trusslebabes - Like wise - we had a good crack. Glad you got round ok .
next year you'll be showing your mate who was ill how to do it!
J.
Amen to that 😉
I failed. Made it to the 55 mile mark but was 45mins down. Could have got there quicker but realised at the 47 mile mark that I wasn't going to make it so I slowed even more.
Simply not fit enough to do this. Was going OK to the first feed station then the terrain changed and I just couldn't keep the pace above 8mph. I now realise I stopped too many times...
Learnt a lot though - and will be back next year for more.
Well done to all who finished. I've done a couple of 24 solos this year and this was far tougher
I was talking to my mate Paul at the finish and we both vowed "never again", but then I got to thinking that I said exactly the same last year. Even now, only three days after the event, I'm thinking about what I need to do to get my time under 10 hours...
I reckon I spent around 30 minutes dithering at food stops, watching riders I'd overtaken come through, grab a few munchies and head straight on.
So I need to find another 35 minutes purely through being faster on the bike (all other things being equal).
Better get on the road bike...
does anyone know if there were any other photographers at the event who have pictures online? Joolze does an amazing job to get everyone but unfortunately the ones of me both look pretty uninspiring and I'm pulling stupid faces. I'm sure I saw other photographers on the way round.
Amazing event, definitely the best thing of this sort I've ever done.
There was 3 official Photographers, Joolze, Mr Joolze and Joolze's bitch. There all on her site, you may have some luck with spectators though.
Joolze's bitch..LOL...
Sorry I got you mid gurn John Duke:0(

Sorry couldn't help it.
Alek - you talked a lot of mince to me - but not on the course! You were definately a bit more efficent at the food stops too!
Don't remember talking mince with you Stu but definitely eating it when we had lasagne 
You should hear me after a few pints.....murder!
Hope to meet up with you and Chris at another event some time. Enjoyed both your company. Nice one m8.
