Nice, looks like a tough ride that.
Re: Ridgeway Double Record
Impressive stuff
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!

Re: Ridgeway Double Record
Bloody hell, that is ridiculous
It would take me longer to do the single!

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 ...
