Alexander Kopp has dropped back due to a rear derailleur cage break.

Molly Weaver has tested positive for Covid and feeling unwell, so is out.

Huw Oliver has taken the lead and has passed the 1000km point near Pen-Y-Ghent at 8:30am.

I waved to about 6 GBDuro riders while I was on my usual Cheshire ride to Beeston Castle yesterday, they were easy to spot, all were fully loaded with bikepacking gear with big heavy tyres, riding very slowly. Cheshire is probably the easy bit of the GBDuro ride.

Seven riders are currently at CP2 Garigill (10am), it will be a 8am start tomorrow morning for Stage 3.

Stage 3 started today at 8am

24 riders are left in the GC, with Huw Oliver the current leader in GC.

The riders had to climb up Great Dun Fell, one of the steepest climbs in England, then up a gravel path to the top before decending to complete stage 2, many riders were in the rain.:eek:

A few riders who didn't make the cut off times are still out there enjoying the ride.

I'm hoping that Simon Wareing makes the cut off for GC at 8pm tonight, I spoke to him near Delamere last week, he looked tired then and had crashed, but hopefully will keep on pedalling to the end. What an adventure for all the GBDuro riders.:okay:

Bonkers. Most of us couldn't do back-to-back 250 mile days on a proper surface! [even allowing for the extra rest the leaders get].

Most of us couldn't do one 250 mile day. (I've done that distance once. It took me 25 hours. In Essex mostly, so flaaaat. I couldn't do it now.)

Oh I wish I'd seen that earlier ! Looks just the job ! Sadly I already have a sportive on that weekend - the only one I've done in donkeys years !

Any idea if it'll run next year ? Although it's all unsupported innit so I could do it any time I wanted to !
