Hi

I was half of a 2 man support team at the above event at the weekend and took my video camera with me. This is one hell of an event, I hope this might be of interest. The video is best viewed at 1080p resolution in full screen mode.

Enjoy!

    Unfortunately Roger didn't make the end and withdrew when the record was off, understandably as he'd previously done a "24" so no value in further agony! How did your chap with just his wife supporting him get on?

    Sorry to hear Roger had a tough time of it - but big hand for even doing it, let alone deciding to do another!! (I find a 25 mile TT hard going...!)

    Our guy, Greg, faired well; he got 5th overall and stretched the club record from 417 to over 462 miles, so he's pretty chuffed. I think the record had stood since 1989, though not sure whether it stayed for so long because no-one dared try and attempt a 24?!

    He does seem to have been properly buggered by the whole thing though - I think he's pulled muscles in all sorts of places across his shoulders and top of his arms.
