Darren Kenny

[Dave5N]

How's he doing? Is he on schedule? Done 20 minutes now so anyone know if there is any news?

 

[RobKenny]

According to Veloshooter on Twitter he started at 7pm but nothing else yet. I am on tenterhooks

 

[Noodley]

Only 17 minutes to go....

 

[Dave5N]

Been an hour now.

 

[RobKenny]

I know, can't get hold of Sister-in-Law or cousins, can't find anything on internet yet

From veloshooter

Darren has set a record of just over 40 kilometres and afterwards really paid the price for such a difficult challenge.

That is only 1 km less than the Absolute Hour with an aerodynamic bike!

 

[Noodley]

Well done to him

 

[Dave5N]

Fantastic. Pass on my congrats!

 

[RobKenny]

Thanks, I'll pass it on when I get hold of him.

Well done Darren

How proud are you feeling Rob?

 

[RobKenny]

Of course I am very proud.

40.156 Km of serious pain.

British Cycling have a report up for the day including pictures

Reading it makes it sound like he had to do a lap of honour afterwards.

Chapeau to Darren!

 

[Keith Oates]

A great effort by Darren, seeing the photos shows very well the pain he put himself through!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Skip Madness]

He looks (understandably) knackered in the first photo.

Congratulations on a great ride.

 

[Dave5N]

Yes Skip, you're right. well done to DK.
