I use it as a sort of pathetic excuse for myself not to put my body through what must amount to proper torture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heds954 Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Just back from the 3rd Pitstop. Great to see @Gix, @Tony B and his lovely missus at the pitstop, and all the usual faces, @johnnymack63, and of course @hawkati, and new faces, @srad34 and Karl Pilkington lookalikey @Alex_H. I've a ton of photos to go through, I'll try and get them sorted over the weekend. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobert Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 1 hour ago, TKDMitch said: Hayley and her Technicolour Dream Bike. It's drinking a litre of oil between pitstops, but is still going, buoyed on by a cloud of optimism and blue smoke She was watching at Oulton on Weds on that and I mentioned to my girlfriend that that was the kind of bike the people would be using on the LDU without knowing she was taking part.....the first bike that arrived at pitstop 2 after I'd arrived to bother @CRM was Hayley. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKDMitch Posted June 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 The queue for the ferry at Pitstop 4. Those people are going to be very upset when an assortment of knackered bikes wheeze past puking oil, coolant, smoke and chain lube all over them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDMitch Posted June 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Frist rider in to Pitstop 4 is Dan Mills. I'd be expecting more to arrive within the next half hour. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKDMitch Posted June 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) Hayley is still going, a little south of Kilmarnock at the moment. Meanwhile, Philip Smith and Charlie Playfair are on the ferry now. Edited June 21, 2019 by TKDMitch 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDMitch Posted June 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) It's easy to look at the fact they've hit pitstop 4 and think it's nearly over, but the reality is they've got nearly 300 miles still to ride. They've been going for 15 hours already, and still have around 300 miles to ride. That's got to be worth a few quid of anyone's money, and with just a little help we can get the total for this year over £31,000, it's nearly there! Please donate a few quid via the link here. Please. Edited June 21, 2019 by TKDMitch 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St George Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 How do I donate individually ? I was going to have a curry tonight but will donate the £25 to Tony & Keith for the Tracking that's kept me updated on their progress. Or is it better to donate Direct to your link ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
