OK - Monday lunchtime update
Martin Brice has just got to Thirsk. McShroom is a couple of hours behind, partly due to first aid duties.
PorkyPete going very well; probably not far from Barnard Castle now.
Long Mart has already left there: will be crossing the Pennines, probably with a few showers, and Tim D is battling across Yorkshire!

Keep going guys: this up there in excitement with watching test cricket on teletext when I was a student!

On PBP the riders' chips sometimes didn't register when they walked over the mats, suggesting a control was missed when it wasn't. Looks like the same thing here.

Keep going, everyone!

Their not using chips, each rider has to be entered into the system by the control when their brevet is stamped. with a large glut of riders they are probably recording the rider numbers to then be entered later while the rider can be eating/sleeping.

 

[mcshroom]

Made it to Thirsk about 20 mins ago after bonking. Legs are buggered but I'm shovelling in curry and hoping for a bit of revival.

 

[frank9755]

Well done, M
Take food to eat when you go as well.
Ideal is to eat something every 10-15 mins and aim for 300 calories per hour - if you can!

 

[yello]

I think mcshroom has abandoned?? What happened? Poor lad.... it's a horrid horrid decision to make

 

[jowwy]

a mate of mine from work is doing the ride - he's 62 and has just gone through the brampton control at 19.57.....so thats 550km so far in 37hrs

 

[mcshroom]

I crawled from Pocklington to Thirsk and rerouted round the hills, but basically I wasn't fit enough and I couldn't make it round.

Now I'm annoyed with myself for packing but Barnard Castle would have been my absolute limit and I'm not confident I would have managed that.

 

[frank9755]

Bad luck! Sounds like you gave it your best shot.

Well you got a damn sight further than I could have got, so well done

Evening update:

Most CCers that I know are in the Brampton area.

Redflight has just left, half an hour behind Pete. Mart is a bit further ahead, having got there around 6pm, but Tim is going well and has now leapfrogged Martin and is an hour ahead. He was talking about sleeping at Brampton earlier on but may well have pushed on as he got there at 5pm.
Edit: Got that wrong! Tim left Barnard Castle at 5pm so he's on track to sleep at Brampton tonight.

Steve VW should be at Brampton soon - was at Barnard Castle at 2:20pm

Martin B is a bit further back but still in the hunt: he was at Barnard Castle two hours ago. Assuming he has pushed on, he'll get to Brampton for a sleep in the small hours, ready to get up at dawn and strike out for Edinburgh!

Wishing everyone a good night on the road.

 

[Baggy]

Good work, everyone! Commiserations @mcshroom - you managed to get a hell of a long way. A hard decision, but from my perspective better to be annoyed with yourself for pulling out than annoyed with yourself for being worn out, in the dark, on Yad Moss.

 

[Baggy]

Chuffy has literally just checked in at Brampton, good lad! Not sure if he'll push on tonight or not...

No need to be down on yourself, what you've achieved is still very impressive....and it's not meant to be purgatory and risk your long term health.

Well done better luck next time.

 

[ianrauk]

LongMartin just checked in at Moffat, 387 miles in, 50 miles to Edinburgh.

 

[TheDoctor]

Well done everyone!! And commiserations to Mcshroom.
It'll be there next time, so no point destroying yourself and collapsing in a wobbly heap in the middle of nowhere. In the dark.
It's *supposed* to be fun, after all...
