Whoot!
Well done Lars!
I am soooo stoked!!!
I was 13hrs.53mins
One puncture....at the START LINE!! Cheers lars for spotting that.

It was pretty grueling in places. The mud in the first 1/4 of the ride and the last two hills.
Suffered from cramp at about 50-60 miles that dramatically slowed me down for a while. Solved with some kindal mintcake and upping the concentration of my drinks. About 75-80 miles I was steaming! rattled the miles off quickly. It was more a fear if I stopped for any length of time, my legs would cramp again.
Big thanks to Lars for the company and his wife for moral support at each checkpoint and of course the lift home

Fantastic Day!

Well done all - I managed to knock my time down almost an hour from last year. Conditions were way better this year, very surprising what a day and a half of sun can do. I made two wrong turns in the last 15 miles, which I couldn't afford the energy for, and was mighty peed off at the extra 1.5 miles to the finish. Finished at 7.10pm.
