The Fridays Tour

[User10571]

Ah. Did anyone run a sweepstake?

What? On who would be the first stabber, and who the first stabee?

Seriously, well done all.
Am with you in spirit.
Frikkin' Fantastic!!!!!
All of you!!!!

 

[TimO]

Yes, clearly the more traditional FNRttCers should now cycle home, after a quick breakfast.

 

[ttcycle]

Brilliant!!

Hope you all had a fantastic ride- what an achievement!!

 

[User10571]

I have lists for that sort of stuff.

I thought you might have........

 

[clivedb]

I've just got in - excellent news and many congratulations to the LonJoggers and their intrepid leader!!!

 

[StuAff]

Rode back to Wick, just over the ton for the day and all the better for doing it in difficult weather conditions.

Best holiday ever. Thanks everyone for an absolutely brilliant time. And well done all of you.

Full write up later this week.

 

[Tim Hall]

So Stu did 400 miles today, while everyone else had to content themselves with a ton.

#repetition.

 

[StuAff]

Just the one, honest...browser problem

 

[Scoosh]

Chapeau ! to all who completed - and, as I said, I'm so sorry not to have been able to escort you out of Edinburgh and over the FRB and on your way ...

My mistake.

I would really have liked to meet you all.

Next time ...

It all ends in a tired hotel in a tired town, with tired legs. Scored 1,024 miles in 12 days cycling. Did the last 17 back to Wick in exactly 50 minutes chasing that Adrian who was nonchalantly fettling his chain in the centre of Wick when I rocked up. I've been sunburnt, soaked, frozen, and nearly blown off my bike during this adventure. Am in awe of Rachel and Steven's stoic determination on the tandem, Mark's outrageous Bromptoneering and all the others who reached the edge of their capabilies, yet found the strength to carry on. I now alsoknow that Zipp wheels are perfect for pimping a bike, and that Sudocreme should not be mixed up with toothpaste.

I have learned many other things too, but I'll save those for another day.

Cheers

Mark's outrageous Bromptoneering- one of my many highlights.

My outrageous adventure continues. Today I aim west to Durness and the end of my Dungeness to Durness end-to-end ride. I was not happy leaving the group in JOG last night to go to Thurso; and not only cos the wind was STILL in my face. What an amazing trip, thanks to everyone who made it so enjoyable. And Simon, what a fantastic achievement to keep us all together and get us to the end in one piece. Huge respect.
Hopefully Alan will meet me on the road today. He has the small matter of 20 miles to catch up and the inevitable effects of a night in Weatherspoons to contend with!
"Enjoy" the coach home.
Now, where are my waterproofs?

were you on the Brompton all the way? Crikey, I thought you were swapping to a full size at some point! Big hat to you sir.

Not only was he on a Brompton the whole way, but most of us spent the week trying to hold his wheel whilst he took off down the road at a very unBrompton-like speed. Chapeau that man!
