Death or glory……just as they reach the devil’s staircase…… 😯

Looks like resting may have paid off.

Not far now…

Oh, my son is walking the WHW, may be arriving in Tyndrum today I think. Going to be busy!!

Just watched the replay, did LG set off 2 hours behind the others?

If so who ‘wins’ first across the line, or shortest time? It’s an ITT, not a ‘race’, but it is a mass start?

Some reasonably appropriate words over at Grit.cx

Liam is a blue dot (group start) rather than a yellow dot (ITT) so his start time should be taken as when Howard said Go!

Liam Glen on the home straight now. Be finished within the hour at this rate!

max beans being deployed by the looks of it.

As Tom said – blue dot = group start time. If you were late, you were late, so be it.

I’m rooting for him because he represents everyone who likes a lie in. Setting off a leisurely 2 hours after everyone else and rather than push on and do an overnighter he had a kip.

If he was racing Le Mans he’d be one of the old school who got out and put on dinner jacket and black tie for the evening laps.

We need to make this compulsory for the 24 hour races.

Keep the riff raff out.

Oh oh, I don’t have a DJ, scratch that idea. 🙂

Edit: no refresh from Lee for 44 mins. Hopefully it’s the tracker.

IF and LC dots not updated for a while.

Lee has moved, but again a long delay.

Looks like the finish for Liam in a few minutes. 🙂

Bouncing DOT! We have our first finisher 🙂

Chapeau to LG!

Nice one! I can go for lunch now…

Fantastic! Late start, a snooze near the end, that’s good going.

Don’t worry, maybe you can console yourself with a Shand… 🙂

Two down – Phil is back.

Looks like the race is on for 3rd place.

Go Lee!

I’m rooting for Sarpullido for 3rd. Lee’s ride is utterly awesome too, and Lee might have some of her xc speed left too. Yikes!!

Lee, Ian and Sarpullido are all together now. Race on!

Less than 3 miles to go for 3rd place.

Shame the trackers don’t fire up more often near the finish, it’s hard to work out the positions this close.

Be happy it’s not Aidan, he’d probably do his traditional SPOT death ride. Aka, ride longer than the 24hour reset and don’t reset before the end.

Refresh, damn it! They must be there or almost there.

Yeah, I’m supposed to be in a meeting, but I can’t go in until the dots move

? ……

Yay! GO LEE!

Hold your horses.

Beth is at the finish line – will give you the official in a few mins.

Javi bounce….

Yay!
Awesome finish by all 3. Amazing!

Joint third:

Thanks to Beth from Wildcat for the image.

Classy

Har, that’s good that is. 😀

Nice one 😀

Brilliant finish. Sporting too.

Very nicely done

:applause:
