Post by Dave Barter »

My mate Crispin has just beaten Mark Goldie's long standing Ridgeway Double record getting it down to 13 hours 6 minutes

I still can't believe there's only 7 completers on the rdigewaydouble site too. http://ridgewaydouble.net/

*makes me look like a right loser!

Great ride, perfect conditions on this end of RW at the moment.

I think there have been plenty more out and back completions, just not many recorded as a time on that exact route. I've done it a few times with a brief snooze on the return leg after setting off mid-morning, makes a nice S24O ride. Will have a crack at the official double non-stop one day for my own interest, but have been saying that for a number of years and 12-18hr rides aren't my speciality at all : )

(pretty sure you'd be well under that for a 1-way Ben!)

Chapeau. That is a very serious time - it took me three days and I was pleased with myself.
I'm just going outside ...
