Borders 350. New Best Time!

Post by Ray Young »

Oliver Turnbull is back in Peebles with an approximate finish time of 3 days and 10 minutes, just short of a 3 day finish. More specific details later when he's recovered a bit. :-bd

No, he just rode quicker/slept less/stopped less. Delete as appropriate, :wink: .

Good stuff - I suspect the change in the weather was a good motivator for people to crack on
Did you do the 220 Ray?

I started and got as far as Newcastleton before scratching. On day two I seemed to have no energy with each successive climb getting harder and myself more despondent. I'd been eating regularly but looking back I think I should have had a proper meal at one of the bars in Newcastleton. I think my perspective would have been different if I'd done that. I continue to learn but it's a long process.
