Hi again,
Well, the riders are still going, but things are looking rather tough now.
They will have known before the start that they would have cross-winds in the first 100 miles, but that things should become more favourable after Exeter. However, those cross-winds were much stronger than they will have wanted, and were actually a bit more head-wind than originally predicted.
The result of that is that they were approx 1h 40m down at Exeter. The last report I have is that they had reached Cambridge (20 miles past Bristol) at 07:30, approx 2h 30m down.
Quite clearly, they will need to make significant progress during the next 12 hours to have a chance of getting the record.
