Just a quickie. As of 9 o' clock this morning, Simon T and Paul Day were still going strong and heading towards their last few hours on the finishing circuit. Simon had caught the sun a bit during yesterday but rallied during the night. Paul is just a human metronome; steadily pounding out the laps. He's slowed a little but going well.
Last I saw of Ann Bath and Mike Morley they were still going well. Mike had a tough time in the early hours but had a good sleep and feed and like the Phoenix he was wearing on his back, rose again to get back on the bike. Ann is just a machine. A short nap at about 4am and she was back out again. An amazing lady.
Unfortunately Simon Waller had to pull out after about 8 hours' riding, with a severely swollen knee. A real shame after all the hard work he's put in.
Will try to blog a proper post in the next few days, but here's hoping our remaining riders (and support crew) make it to the finish.
