Amazing effort riding that monster bike. Looked like a lot of suffering....and fun the beard is a good disguise

I recognised the bike, well done, we got in 14 laps as the only pair on single speed.

Was very nice to get a lie in today, great effort by all Involved, I really enjoyed being part of it. Especially the hilltop heckling. I might not walk the course next year with a bike though.... although going by the vids Kaiser seemed to enjoy doing that.

You'd be amazed at the amount of people doing just that in the small hours. People with gears and suspension.

I'm a shameless walker. It's part of my strategy of energy conservation.

But Jamie took this to a whole new level -sitting! I hadn't thought of that.

It was a 'chilled' ride FFTC

I did have a few issues, mechanically and the rear hub sticking/starting to seize up didn't help, especially when I was already way overgeared and that was after adding four teeth to my usual rear gearing.
I also had a family issue near the midway piont that took some time and mentally sort of took me away.

Kaiser and Brian were the men of the match for sure.
Myself, well, I certainly didn't acheive anywhere near what I wanted or what I was capable of doing. I must admit though that I was underprepared, and I knew it beforehand as I hadn't had time for much preperation in the weeks leading up to it other than riding the course and getting one night out to try my lights.
Next year I'll be back, stronger, faster, lighter, we have the technology

I might even grow my beard back, I had one for around 12 years or so and it seems the fast macretro's are bearded up.
Where I come from theres a name for people without beards........women
