Well I rode it today, after my Injury in Janury I really wasnt sure if I would make it.

Not only did I make it but I smashed last years time by 90 mins and finished in under 4 hours

Thanks everyone for all your support..my report can be found here for those interested

    good time, esp without much training. I forgot about it till this week & had promised daughter I'd be there at church parade with her brownie gang before the penny dropped.

    bit miffed as it was my ideal bikey weather too.

    Cheers, I had spent the last 2 week pushing my speed up preying that I could hold it for 62 miles but it still shocked me that I did. Weather was crap TBH mate, windy and drizzle, once in Blackpool it lashed it down

    Ummm dude you're half your original weight.

    Half!

    HALF!

    That's some serious work. Well done. Only 1 pound away from the target!
    Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.
