TKDMitch Posted June 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 All the riders are through P2 now, and some will be into 3 by the time this gets posted. The weather's holding, all going well bar a number plate that's gone MIA somewhere along the route 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKDMitch Posted June 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Our guys have been riding for nearly 12 hours now, with only the small matter of all of Scotland still to go! They're heading through Pitstop 3 now, a quick break then off again! Now, who "won" the Polite vest this year? 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDMitch Posted June 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Obviously an event like this can only run with the help of a sophisticated Comms System, allowing us to pass messages from Pitstop to Pitstop easily. 2 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An amazing spread of food and without me having to touch it, the bike was fettled from being pretty much shagged out to feeling virtually brand new (in the context of a £300 shitter of course) in the time it took me to eat a banana, down some tea, fill up the camel back and scoff some flap jacks. I didn't ask what was done, but I suspect the application of chain lube and chain tension were involved, it was somewhat baggy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're spreading out more now though, there's going to be 3 hours between the front runners (Nige and Andy) and those still coming in to P3. Nige and Andy's pitstop at P3 was ......... 1 minute All timings approximate, officer 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I got to Gourock at about 6ish, just in time for my ignition barrel to have a fit and blow the main fuse! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKDMitch Posted June 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Most of our riders are through P3 now. P4 is the stop for the ferry crossing, but Shaun, Gavin and Denver may have to take a different route straight to P5 or risk missing the last ferry. P4 is set up and ready to welcome the riders, kettle on The ferry crossing is a great point to get the riders together in small groups ready for the leg to P5 at Inverness. You need the numbers to fight off the midgies 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKDMitch Posted June 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Sounds like he's OK, rear brake lever and an indicator seem to be the casualties. He's going to press on and hopefully the guys at P4 can give the bike a good look over for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKDMitch Posted June 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 I'm going to be offline for a while folks, I'll do a big catch up around 9.00pm. For now, we know all our riders are through P3. Most are heading for P4, the last few are going to skip the ferry and make up some time with a bit of motorway, before re-joining the route further north. Next stop Inverness for all of them 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
