I did actually bump into him on my commute home on Thursday evening. He was out for a short spin on the above bike.

Cool. As you were on your commuter, I expect you did not ride with him for too long and waved him on his way!

Amazing achievement. 20 mph average, 24 hrs, that's 480 miles - wow! Can he even stand up now?

Spot on

My mind is well and truly boggled.

He was walking a little stiffly. After the presentation he rode the 9 miles back to catch the train home.

Given that it was his first ever TT at any distance, it is a phenomenal result. His preparation was near perfect: food, drink and everything properly organised. He probably spent less than 15 mins off the bike.

481 miles gives him 6th place in the National Championship 24hr 2016 organised by Mersey Roads CC.

...a pity no-one gave him a lift.

zigzag embarked on his 24 hour TT bike ride yesterday.

In 24 hours he managed an epic 772km/481mi (an average of 20mph).

Bloody 'ell! I couldn't even do that in my dreams.

A massive to you!

Yup. Absolutely incredible. Chapeau Rimas!

 

[ianrauk]

I should have added to the first post that this was Rimas first attempt at TT

 

[Supersuperleeds]

That is more than impressive, I don't think there is a word in the English language that truly reflects how magnificent that is. Well done @zigzag

Wow that's superb.

Well done and hope you can move OK tomorrow.
