vEveresting… hmm..thinking thinking…. Also – you be the DJ!

Someone complained???? What did you say? 🤣🤣🤣

This is why we can never open our Sunday hills to the general public haha

Keep going @DrP you have broken it’s back now…not far to go!

I’ve been rick-rolled….!

DrP

I’ve been rick-rolled….!

Ha!

Just gone past 8000m….

Paul and Lee providing support

Wheels!!!

Just in time for Tuesday

About bloody time. Shiny new stuff.

heck yah! wheels!!!

Righto…final descent…. then only 500 odd M to climb (in reality I’ll prob aim for about 8950m to be sure!)…
all welcome!!!

I’m buzzing!!!

DrP

Just go all the way to the top again

Well done – enjoy (if thats the right word) the last bit!

He ticks over the 200km mark while off the bike and looking at his phone 🤣

Last ascent to go, good luck.

Well done  Dr P and well done to all the support riders.

Superb @DrP

Sorry about the Rick Rolling. Just thought you’d appreciate us never giving you up.
Top effort @DrP
I’ve already opened the celebratory beers.

Bloody great effort mate…final stretch…enjoy the moment!

Well now I know what Rick-rolling is. Late to the party there. Ian is flying. Did one ascent with him but that descent then bang into another climb is tough. My legs didn’t fancy another go. He’s got stronger company now for the home straight.

C’mon Ian get this done…you’re distracting me from painting the spare room! 🤣🤣

Well done you will look fabulous on Tuesday with your new wheels and oversized glasses 🤓

….and numerous gloves 🤣🤣

Multiple gloves could come in handy in this weather.

@Drp nearly there

Top effort. Wear those oversize glasses with pride.

Well done Ian fantastic effort when you get 5 minutes watch your feed back as your face was a picture when you got the glasses, it was what the **** I’ve just V Everest and I’ve earned some glasses.

Wow – fantastic riding. Seriously impressed with the effort.

Well that was great!!
Legs feel fresh, and I don’t ache and have no real sore spots as so much time was out the saddle!!

Thank you SOOOO much all who gave encouraging words and joined in for as little or much as you could spare… it really helped the time fly by!!!

8950 meteres climbed.. 210 odd KM ridden (well, only half ridden eh!!!) and about 7000 calories burned….

Gonna jump in the shower, drive to the GFs and have some gin and sushi to celebrate!!!

Love you all!!

DrP

Well done worth it for the glasses I am sure 😂 Phenomenal result and effort.

Congratulations Doc !
apologies for the short support – I overshot the bottom of the hill and couldn’t catch you back up, since you were riding pretty much at my sustainable max 😕

… and then I bonked but carried on to the top at 2w/kg – slightly surprised you didn’t lap me

Well done Ian, you’ve earned your celebratory sushi you weirdo. (I mean if ever there was a time for a huge dirty burger!)

Really good following that, a great effort. Couldn’t join you on the hill sadly as I’m busy at my parent’s house but did give you a few Ride On’s throughout so hope that helped!

Seeing the Rick Roll comment means I should have put the Gina G track on the list but didn’t know if you would play it straight or on shuffle, would have been funny in the last few Kms but not so much on the first climb!

Hopefully this will have knackered you out for the final race on Tuesday, might have a chance to finish close-ish to you but somehow I doubt it.

Congrats @drp, superb effort. You really smashed through it. You weren’t hanging around…
Sushi? Really?

Nice work. 👏🏅🍾

Sushi?! Surely deserves a Domino’s family deal for one?!

I still think you’re crazy but a great effort, you should feel proud!

Well done to you and all those that gave some supporting km’s! It was great to keep popping in to watch and read comments.

I still think we should do the Alpe next week on the hills ride…

Congrats, great effort!

Well done @DrP, that’s a magnificent effort. Top job fella

Well done 🙂

@oppnorth that would be cruel Sunday Hills so soon…… 😂

Great effort DrP. Fantastic

Can’t believe how fresh you looked during that whole thing.

Well done Ian
Thought you might fade away given the early pace
A solid sustained effort, now for a south downs double attempt in June

Can’t believe how fresh you looked during that whole thing.

I guess that’s the key really, pick a pace you can just keep on trundling along at, on and on and on, if you’re struggling at any point with the pace you’re going too fast. A lot like long distance walking, it’s got to be at a dull pace, start to work at it and it’s going to end badly.

That said, a lot like long distance walking, I bet tomorrow is a bitch!

amazing effort, you are becoming a cycling machine.

canni ask how many bib shorts did you get through and if only one what type do you use.

I cant stand more than a few hours at the moment. so couldn’t contemplate 9 or 10 hours even with the rests.
