Goldilocks - first completion.

Post by Bearbonesnorm »

Congratulations to Ben Hudson on being the first person to complete Goldilocks. It took him around 6 days and 8 hours and I can't imagine it was done beneath blue skies :wink:

Sorry, forgot to mention that he was riding SS, so probably a reasonable amount of walking involved me thinks.

That's a brilliant achievement- some bits are type 3 fun I think.

If it helps I did it but it took 8 years spread over numerous rides.....

SS is ideal for that route as you're either going up a huge steep climb (and pushing) or going down a huge steep descent for which SS is fab. Or pushing across a tussock fest.

I only received the email last night Steve. I was a bit up to my ears but said I'd talk to him again after weekend, so will suggest / ask. :-bd

Which one is Goldilocks pls Stu. Is that all them BB200 routes amalgamated into one big sub standard-pile (no offence, but people get what I mean...maybe). Not that I could ever think to attempt it, whatever it may be :smile:

That's the one Shaf - one year until it meets another, then that one and so forth.
