Yes, but Fat Bikes are crap…….de da de da de da de dum

It’s all about Minipips!

Cracking young lad and can only admire his commitment and determination, no doubt partly rubbed off from Rich.

DazH up to 11th!

I’ve been out on the last few mnpr, got chatting to a sound guy on a green cotic singlespeeder doing the puffer. Is that dazh?

Yep, that’s him 🙂

Go Team Manball in 15th!!

Go Phil (Team JMC/MSteel pairs) and Jase!

Proper tight racing too so far. Good stuff.

A big thanks to team JMC support for keeping Minipips on the road. He is out on his 7th lap way past his bedtime.

Astounding effort young un!

They are camped at JMC, next to Guy Martin – I suspect that we will have stories for a while.

Just been doing tax return spreadsheets and getting regular updates on Jase, Dez, Guy and Minipips to cheer me up.

Beginning to think that the ‘puffer is infinitely preferable to the tax returns.

The last new Descent is utter bobbins.

Who is Keith Forsythe? Someone go and pop his tyres!

Keith forsyths hardly unknown on the 24 scene being uk vets champ n all.

We’ve been plagued with cramps, both stomach and legs.

Had a short crack with Jason Miles on the way round- sound fella.

Not looking forward to the 300 mile drive home, I think some disgusting energy drinks will have to be consumed.

Looks like he has dragged his Daddy through the night … he is going to sleep well tonight 🙂

Who will sleep well tonight – tom or rich 🙂 – rich has let him have a freewheel and some gears right ?

Either jase is having a break or guys storming .

2 hrs ago it was 1 hour keith to jase and 1hr jase to guy …..

Only because he was worried that social services might make it a safeguarding issue.

Isn’t minipips like 9 years old or something? Ridiculous! But in a brilliant way.

He is only 9 – but the most determined person I know. He has been wanting to do this for best part of 18 months. It was worth it to see Rich’s face when he was presented with cups of coffee at ungodly O’clock on a rainy morning so Tom could go out on a ride.

He is only 9

that’s insane. And somewhat determined.

Morning sportsfans. I had a lovely sleep in a warm bed.

It looks like the top 3 in the solo are decided, but in what order?

Dazh seems to have beaten his target with time to spare and Minipips is putting us all to shame. 😳

If a 9 year old can have a crack at this, why am I sat on my sofa in my PJs thinking about not riding because it’s a bit parky today? (Age 23.75 btw)

When do entries open for next year?

Because you don’t sleep with your bikes. He is a tad keen on riding.

That’s going to be top of the training plan then- the missus will be chuffed! On second thoughts I think I might concede that MiniPips is always going to be a better rider than me- so impressive!

It keeps them out of the rest of the house. I am really very proud of him.

Well done minipips. Words fail me.

Guy Martin is running some pretty narrow tyres.

He has just come roud to finish his 10th lap. Now how do we explain that although he was ill on Friday & Monday he was well enuogh to do this…

Outstanding from Minipips, congratulations, surely was it not an educational trip on the effects of cold and exercise on the human body or attempting to recreate the polar expeditions of the past?

Guy Martin….will risers and bar ends be in fashion now?

How do the results in the Puffer work? Is it your time for the last whole lap before the 24hrs is up; ride for 24hrs then finish whichever lap you are on; distance covered in the 24hrs?

Does it finish at 2400 or do you finish the lap even if it’s after?

They have to have started the lap before the 24 hours is up and complete before 25 hours for it to count.

Looks like they have the next hour to finish their current lap: https://twitter.com/Team_JMC/status/556753175735451648

I know I sound like a pussey, but how is this even possible for a grown man let alone Minipips.

Determination innit
