What time you thinking of Bob? I'm heading out in the morning but could try in the afternoon I hope. Won't be much energy though!Very impressive. I used to do the odd 31m fasted a few years back. Straight out and back. Hammered it out but did I suffer on way back. Never broke 1h 44 and never will now. Always looked forward to my chocolate milk on my return
I will warm up on Zwift before to get my knee working.
Rick, hopefully you can join us.
Adski,
I am a bit disappointed. If you change your mind.....
Hopefully Bill has paced things nicely and feeling as good as anyone one could given the sheer bonkers nature of the ride.
Go on Bill!!
Fair play to him. Would love to do something crazy like this some day.

Thanks for the link Kipster. It looks like you did a big real world ride today also. It's 45 degrees in Sitka. (7c) you must be getting the same mild winter this year.

And while I was not watching Rob H has been wooping me in the Goats.
6 min in stage 1&2 and 10 in stage 3.
I am going to go back to eating Wheatabix for breakfast, either that or buy a Tacx Vortex Smart!
Oops! with comments like that perhaps I should be doing Zwift.
B@gger, I can't cos I am stuck with pre 'FEC'ing hardware!

Most just go through Hell on the chaingang rides and don't care to much for the scenery.
That said roller coaster roads and through mountain climbs are not uncommon. Bit like following a SAT Nav on a road that is not in its programme.

Only 1 lap behind Guy Martin! Bill is doing very well. But he's still a nutter.

Have a crack at the Double Devil here in mid Wales. It's just about as challenging a Sportive as you'll get.

It was the conditions that made it so bloody awful last time. Not saying the course isn't a right pig, but it would have been half the battle without the sideways rain and sleet, and the 30mph winds. The 25% inclines paled into insignificance against these.
But I can promise you some incredible roads, beautiful isolated glaciated valleys and even an hour so through live military firing ranges....might get to race a tank!

Hopefully bkool will level the playing field soon. Its such a shame they dont properly support other trainers. It would be great if we can calculate an alternative way of measuring efforts.

I have only met Bill, and on just the one occasion. I can personally vouch for him as being the most understated, pleasant and incredibly determined man I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
