I'd love to do it, but doubt I could get a 5 week pass off work and most importantly ogg the wife. I think 100 miles a day would be my target to male the most of it and enjoy it.

Maybe I should try and do it next year just before I'm 50 as a treat to me.

Tobermory Isle of Mull, toilet on the sea front after our tent on the campsite blew away in a storm.
Didn't get too much sleep though.

And next to the cafe on the top of Snowdon, woken every 20 to 30 minutes with walkers celebrating when completing the 3 peaks (never again)

The website http://www.selfsupporteduk.net/routes/Peak200.html

Will the new one be going up any time soon please?

What I find incredible at this very minute, Mike Hall has now covered 50% more ground that our friend Greg May.

And I'm definitely not saying our Greg is slow, so what this hell is Mike taking to do that much more and be able stay awake for so much longer

John, what's your plan? Not decided how I'm getting there yet Plan A If I get a pass from SWMBO for the Friday after work ( and if the weather's kind for a dry night for dry gear at Bearstock ) Tony Lawman rides to mine and we ride the 10 miles from home to the Mersey tunnel train. Then take this r...

As a matter of interest how many have booked to be at Bearstock?

When do ticket sales finish?

If he continues at the same pace for the rest of the race he'll finish in (I think) roughly 10 and a half days!

Has anyone ever checked if Mike is human?
Are alien mile eaters allowed in the Tour Divide?

In a very non scientific test https://flic.kr/p/H6D7kt The yellow Wildcat tapered bag was turned inside out and hung up against it's 137grams red competitor, both filled were filled with 3 x 750ml's bottles of water at the same time and after an hour and a half the red bag had lost a full 750ml of w...

Mike Hall stuck for hours near beginning. Something wrong? I'm no Mike Hall expert, but I seem to remember listening to him in the past, I believe he doesn't like "racing" at the front for the first few days, letting the in less experienced than himself blow themselves out as he makes up ...

Why would he use a pseudonym?
No offensive but he's hardly a rock star and do they even know him stateside?

Not today, not even this month, but my excuse is that I only found it on line today Taken during the #JennRide when Paul, Cath and I photo bombed a wedding photo shoot. https://c5.staticflickr.com/8/7687/27512635276_e8ebb3b6ec_c.jpg I#m still trying to contact the photographer for the high res copy ...

Is any first timer a contender?

Isn't it said that you ride it first to learn the race to race it the year after?

Glad Guy is riding and sure hope he has a blue dot over his head

Friday I believe

My vote if for "Stupid idea"

It was put their for a reason by the bike designer.

"Good idea" if you can afford to risk the frame breaking and you are well under the weight of the bikes intended rider weight.

Where's the post "Like" or "Favourite" button

Lawmanmx wrote:Lmao, page STILL not found sort it out John

FFS, every time I click on make public and I double check it's gone back to private

Any idea where else I can host it to show it to the world?

Maybe I'll just drive down to Llanbrynmair and ride down the road instead

Sorry it was me all along as I had it as private, but now it's public , try again

Please can those with local knowledge tell me if this route is ridable without going through farmers fields and trespassing etc from South of Horseshoe Pass?

Maybe that's why! He must have saw the way it finished last year and maybe wants to ride stealth so it doesn't motivate other riders

That's not playing fair though.
