They have got up to between Preston and Lancaster at just shy of 24 hours and the attempt has been called off.
As yet I don't know why, but will add to this post if and when I hear anything more.

Hoppo's comment from the Aborwood Forum below:
Hi peeps.
Richard decided that about 5 miles before Lancaster he could no longer continue. We had been on the rivet most of the day trying to make up for lost time and were steadily succeeding. Obviously this had taken its toll on him far more than I had suspected which was a shame because I was just gaining in strength. Anyway hats off to him, he is a hell of a rider and put in an amazing effort. Respect.
Looking on the bright side, what a good training ride being as I can now try and improve on my 50 time at the Yorks RC 50 on Sat!
Thanks for all your interest and thanks for everyone that helped us, Techno, Ian Franklin, AV tester, Stuart Kirkham,Andy Palmer, all the API crew and Steve Gelder, Mike Johnson and Steve Oxbrow, RRA officials, Frank and Christine Minto, Allsports International, Spiuk and Brian Kilgannon down at HMS Raleigh. Cheers.
