Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.

Have a good time Simon - I'll guarantee that you'll be quite shocked by the sheer spectacle at first. :wink: I’ve watched the TT most years off and on for about 30 years on TV, watched tons of on board stuff online, been to short circuit racing plenty of times but holy hell, that was unbelievable!!...

Re: Lightweight MTB shoes

I have an old pair of specialized Rime that fit the bill except it’s Velcro and not laces… but they’ve changed it to laces and a dial, so may work for you?

There’s also a couple in the Bontrager range but remember the SSR being a popular shoe

Going to be a few tight finishing spots for the top ten now.

More observations

Colin Baird (yellow flag) is flying along, penny just dropped as he had a very late start too from the mass start

Kerry Macphee has been remarkable, got a good lead over 2nd place :-bd

Re: HT550 - 2024

If my calculations (and memory!!) is correct, looks like Alex has lost about 20miles to seconds place. Think yesterday the lead was about 40miles for a long time but it’s shrunk to 20 or so

*obviously miles in this terrain isn’t the best indicator
