Looks like he's just about to go up Butser Hill, the last big climb of the day.

Don't envy him that Butser climb but once done then he's homeward bound.

maybe spun out on a granny but if hes sensible he walked 🙂 last thing he needs is to go anaerobic up a huge hill during a 300 mile endurance event 😉

I am from the same cycle club as Richard and there is no way he will walk any of it.

After over 250 miles and faced with a very steep hill he may not have any say in the matter 🙂

His average speed is going up. Has he got a lead out man for the sprint finish? 🙂
Keep going, the end is in sight.

I'm absolutely and totally stunned by this. I've done the SDW in 2 days, and have ambitions to do it in one one day.

Buy him a pint from me when he finishes
