TKDMitch Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 And they're off! 4.10 am this morning and the riders set off. They've got over 1000 miles of riding ahead of them in the next 24 hours, a serious endurance challenge.

TKDMitch Posted June 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Looks like a damp start for the riders, which would obviously explain the inflatable mermaid strapped to the back of Dan Gibson's TDM850. The riders are approaching Wincanton and all going well. I'm told it's chilly but dry at Pitstop 1, so better weather ahead, first riders due there around 7.30-7.45am 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still early so fresh faced optimism and excitement are appropriate. By mid afternoon world-weary ennui will have set in, and around 10.00pm they'll have turned feral and be willing to eat their own entrails for a handful of painkillers 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKDMitch Posted June 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Pitstop 2 is ready and waiting for our riders. Si Lee and James have, however, been warned about accepting sweeties from strange men in vans and so rode right past it. Eminently sensible, gents. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
