24 Hr Update

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.

Brian and Paul discussing lights.

You'll have to guess who is under here.

Sleepy beddy byes.

The machine that is Ann Bath, heading out at 5am.
Paul Day; still relaxed and composed.


Yes, Simon really does feel that rough.
