    I was going to say that it is quite fun looking through the pictures on Facebook because you can watch them run together, and then NapD pulls a boss move and creates a gif. Well played!

    He did 190 miles over 2 days with over 11,000 of climbing - you lot?

    Oh. Right. So it's not funny now?

    No one has slated him for riding. It's still funny as f*** though.

    Man shows of for camera.
    Man falls flat on his face.
    Man doesn't hurt himself (I assume).

    I did a 415 mile ride with over 27,000ft of climbing this weekend. Am I allowed to laugh? :P

    This is still tickling me! I'd love to shake that guy by the hand and thank him, for he has cheered me up immensely. It sounds like he's taken it well too :)

    Never realised sportives were so entertaining...I might give one a try, if this is the sort of thing that goes on.

    On second thoughts, maybe not.

    This thread has now been bookmarked and will be my morale boost when times are sad. Pride does indeed come before a fall.

    Well done him. But I am not that fussed about the other 189 miles and 1756 yards, 1 day, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 54 seconds, or the remaining 10992 feet of climbing. That specific moment will always be his (and many of our and others) highlight. If I came across that chap I would gladly shake him by the hand, just for putting a little ray of sunshine into our (wonderful, average, awful, or anywhere along that spectrum) lives.

    Edited for spelling

    I was a bit worried by the first photo, seeing a face plant (I saw the aftermath of a nasty faceplant on Sunday's Castle Ride)

    but when I saw the rest of the photos I had a good laugh!

    In a way I'm surprised that there aren't more crashes like that at finish lines in pro races, considering how often they wave their arms at high speed.

    I reckon he might need a new rear mech, mech hanger and possibly a new rear wheel
