Well done. Water bottles can be a right PITA.

Re:

Well done, especially for carrying on without bottles! :shock:

Think the mechanic at the lbs did that event. I'll meet up with him in the week.

For me, following an early bike ride and watching a race, I started tinkering in the garage.

Mending my Obsys55 forks, changing both sets of seals, so they work without leaking. I hope!

Knackered black seal, replaced by the pink one, along with main fork seals.

So now, I have a very comfy 55mm of travel for these forks, to replace the 40mm from the ones currently on my Sunn.

Also cleaned up the wheel I saw next to a bin, in the middle of Brighton! :shock:

I dunno, you'd be surprised. As long as you keep eating (I like eating ) and drinking, you can keep going. It's more a mental thing than physical.
Furthest I'd ever cycled before this weekend was about 80miles, that was a few years ago.

If I can I think I'll do it again next year, might even consider doing it on a retro mtb, fatter tyres, bit of suspension, fairly light, it would be ideal

Well in you double hard bastard.

Re:

Good effort Jim . I've got fond memories of racing at Kielder BITD, need a trip back there some time soon.
