Good luck to you all, you are all crazy but I take my hat off to you, hope the weather stays kind and no permanent damage is done

Good luck to you all

well we set off at 8:30 this morning and got to the finish line at 4:30 (only 8 hours!)
weather wasn't too bad, bit drizzly but the headwind was a bastard at times. the reputation of 'The Beacon ' is very well deserved

had a nice hot soak when I got in, think I'll sleep well tonight

pickle, justin & mark was great riding with you today

Awesome work guys. I would have loved to have done it with you but thirty was to much for me earlier this year

Brilliant Job well done

Excuse this if its a little random. Just got in after driving 3 1/2 hours home.

A top ride with top blokes went down today. We showed our heels to plenty of faster bikes, especially tucking in and drafting down the big slopes only. The bikes went well, nothing broke or fell off but they did gain a few more creaks.

All the other riders were talking about the madmen on BMX's, that was nice, especially as most didnt know it was us!

And finally, thanks to you guys for making this ride just plain amazing.

Oh, and did I mention the massive cheer we received when we crossed the line?

Goodnight.

It was great riding with you yesterday Lee........it was fooking hard work but such a great day and an awesome welcome by everyone at the finish line

all of us at the start (with no idea of what was to come)

a quick break as we came out of the M25

10 minute break at the top of the beacon (what an right fooker that was to walk up!!)

at the end with my work mate who did it on his road bike and finished 2 hours infront of us

fook me do i ache this morning!!!

OMFG!!!!!

What a day. Great weather, great bunch of guys, great fun. Ok i lied about the last part

Ive never done anything so insanely bizarre in the past, and at more than time i did question my sanity

TBH Rob, on more than one occasion i considered giving up, but as the miles ticked away it seemed pointless. When you have done 40+ miles, the last 10 or say are not worth giving up on

So glad i finished, although im knackered today

Top result all round guys

griff · « **Reply #186 on:** September 12, 2011, 10:15 AM »

like lambs to the slaughter

off we rolled........

and 8 hours later...

kungfunky · « **Reply #194 on:** September 12, 2011, 10:20 PM »

great work lads

I've been on some epic rides in my time but never on a kids bike

aerostylie · « **Reply #195 on:** September 12, 2011, 10:48 PM »

Respect

well done you guys, you must feel a great sense of achievement completing it

20'' rules

lands end - john o groats next year

(griff i's joking )

griff · « **Reply #196 on:** September 12, 2011, 10:57 PM »

you're not wrong paul, was very tough in places but some of the down hill bits were fantastic, especially the high speed blast down through the town

buzzing that with the help of lots of generous people we've managed to raise a good chunk of money for a worthy cause that doesn't get much attention normally, back at work tomorrow so hoping it's not over yet!

seriously recommend this to anyone for next year (paul I think you'd love it

)

spot on griff, there's a lot of good peeps about and anything like this can only be good publicity

yep love the mileage/band of brother cammaradere as the worcester ride proved griff, so echo the recommendation, will consider next year if can sort logistics
