TKDMitch Posted June 20 Author Report Posted June 20 All our riders are underway, Dan Carey's bike didn't make the start, so he headed home to begin on his own RS660. Fingers crossed for a smooth journey Longest Day Up 2024 (cancerresearchuk.org) 2 Quote
TKDMitch Posted June 20 Author Report Posted June 20 This year we have trackers on the bikes, supplied by BikeTrac This means I can see where our riders are at all times Obviously I'm not pretending this is a motion tracker from Aliens and making "ping ping" noises every time I look at it 10 Quote
TKDMitch Posted June 20 Author Report Posted June 20 The LDC is a serious challenge of navigation skills as well as endurance. After yesterday this gives me some cause for concern... 2 8 Quote
TKDMitch Posted June 20 Author Report Posted June 20 Rich and Matt are the first riders to make Pitstop 1, going well. Last riders are about an hour behind them. Nigel Rea's tracker isn't reading properly, honestly on past experience he might already be at JOG 3 Quote

blow_away Posted June 20 Report Posted June 20 Only @Thunderbolt and @Versatile from the forum on there I believe, @lexiden escaped that photo 😁 so here she is in another shot https://flic.kr/p/2pYtBa9 1 Quote
blow_away Posted June 20 Report Posted June 20 ?, ?, Dan Mills (veteran LDC rider), ?, sorry I forgot I'm getting worse each day 😢, Darryl, Callum Thunderbolt, moi, Ian Versatile, ?, Barrie, Steve and Dan. Please correct my mistakes and fill in the ones I forgot. I'm sorry, dementia runs through the male line of my family and I can recognise the signs in myself. The important thing is you all make an important contribution to this extraordinary event, and without you guys CRUK would be short of half a million quid. 2 Quote

TKDMitch Posted June 20 Author Report Posted June 20 Jack Taylor is stopped with a broken fuel pump, and Bob Harris has problems with the lights on his ZZR, but the Pitstop crew are sorting both of them, well done gents! Other riders are through P2. 3 1 Quote
