Wow. ARobComp is going some!
Posted 10 years ago # -
Scrolled up so knew gracemount but not where. Then scrolled to beginning and had entire route but not control station, if only I had scrolled to the middle.

Wow. ARobComp is going some!
A bit of off the cuff calculation & I make that 260 odd miles in 12 hours, an average of 22mph. Please tell me that he isn't doing that. Really??!!!
EDIT 220ish miles @18mph. Phew! at least he is human. Still darned impressive.
Posted 10 years ago # -
That was his plan. Cycling average quite a bit over 20mph - only down to 18 because of the stops! He had it planned as a series of 50-100 mile 'sprints'.
Posted 10 years ago # -
Right......so he isn't really human then?
Posted 10 years ago # -
He's reached Thirsk. 400k in just over 15 hours. Impressive!
Darkerside has got to Market Rasen, just under 250k in a bit over 13 hours. More like the kind of pace I can understand...

Was just going to say he's on move again. Another recliner from up this way is following. He's posted on Facebook so have asked for his number.
ARobComp's effort is amazing. In fact they all are to enter at all...Posted 10 years ago # -

Allez allez CCE riders!
Darkerside made it to Pocklongton in the wee small hours.
ARobComp is already at Brampton this morning!

Another LB recliner - Julian P is at Thirsk.
Posted 10 years ago # -
The first rider reached Edinburgh at 9:40 this morning, a pretty good time!
Last event was a bit quicker at 24:48 for the first half but the route wasn't the same, I guess.
Tailwinds and big packs to pull each other along... speedy times!

Well done ARobComp. Now the small matter of cycling all the way back...

@Laidback - you may be interested in this:

Should keep ticking over, although I'm not sure (very shoestring, lunch hour effort).
Have also done one for Rob and Darkersider:

Yellow Furai is at Brampton. Not sure if that's on list?
Posted 10 years ago # -
They should have a ELE for people who live north of the border.

Just popped home to get some warmer things.
Up at Gracemount there's lots of wiry old beards, huge amounts of bike pr0n, and a fair amount of fatigue. Only seen one person that looked in real difficulty, though.
Chapeau indeed.

My goodness that was impressive ARobComp.

Here's some pictures of the man and his bike.
A30 well ahead by LaidBackBikes, on Flickr
Alex heading south by LaidBackBikes, on FlickrYanto D4 in his orange Velomobiel Quest Carbon XS didn't have mudgaurds either and set off at more or less same time.
Quest Carbon XS (Yanto) heads south by LaidBackBikes, on Flickr
Quest XS heading south by LaidBackBikes, on FlickrThis evening was good. Tyres pumped up and a wheel adjust by Dave. Bruce was there and Darren. Also Ulli (Kim's partner) was there on the overnight shift.
Bikes coming in every five or ten minutes. Only one big group of around 6. Some heading south when I left at 9.45.
Saw Bruce heading back up at Kings Buildings... Council are aware of event but nothing much PR wise.
"This bike needs gears, you know?" by LaidBackBikes, on FlickrLATEST LEL LB NEWS.... R21 Julian on LB Yellow Challenge Furai has made it to Moffat 23.14. So could be in Edinburgh tomorrow pre-noon.

LATE, LATE LEL LB NEWS...
R22 Darkside Tweeted "Cracking leg over to Brampton - rolling stuff perfect for 'bents. Grub, then Moffat #LEL2013"
Looks like he's going for an early start...
Posted 10 years ago # -
Expect both R21 and R22 to be at control this morning. A few enroute. Arvid M65 on a black Furai is also leaving Moffat - was up at the Mille Alba before.
Posted 10 years ago # -
R21 arrived 8.22. Faster than I expected.... Rob won't be far away..
