BB200 sub 24
So who's going for a sub 24 time then ?
I will start by saying, I would love just to finish maybe sub 48
You know by saying it here you will have a little more pressure to come up with the goods.
So nail your time to the Mast !!

Re: BB200 sub 24
As I've said elsewhere, under 30 hours will be an achievement for me.
Let's see what happens.....

Re: BB200 sub 24
i would like to beat my time last year. But I'm not holding up too much hope as it sounds like it's going to be tougher.
Re: BB200 sub 24
What time do you do last year Evil? just as a matter of interest.
Also wondering if I will be the sweeper ?!?!?

Re: BB200 sub 24
25 1/2 hours.
I bivi'd for 5 1/2 hours.
Secretly I was hoping to go sub 24 this year. Stop less, easy!
Er but after reading the other threads where stu has been saying how the route is tougher and knowing I've done far less riding this year, I'll be happy with a similar time.

Re: BB200 sub 24
I don't actually recall saying it was tougher but there's certainly less tarmac involved this year.Er but after reading the other threads where stu has been saying how the route is tougher and knowing I've done far less riding this year, I'll be happy with a similar time.

Re: BB200 sub 24
He's just trying to lull you in. I have no doubt in my mind that it will be tougher.

Of Deathmarch? I might leave the bike at home.Ian wrote:16 hours 15 minutes.
Bike isn't mandatory:
Q: Do I have to carry certain items?
A: Yes, there's a basic mandatory kit list that everyone must carry:
Sleeping bag.
Bivvy bag or a tent or a tarp.
F & R lights.
Mobile phone.

Re: BB200 sub 24
Good to aim fast. I'll be happy sub-24, but even better to beat last years time of 20h 32m.

Re: BB200 sub 24
16 hours 14 minutes. Going to beat that Barrington fella!
Re: BB200 sub 24
16 hrs 16 mins I'm following Ian, he knows stuff ;-)
The old git in the yellow socks
Re: BB200 sub 24
I'm hoping to go under a day but not really based on anything other than sub24 is a number.
Tricky to judge though with not knowing the route, or the area particularly well. Guessing that it will be harder than last year. I don't think stu likes giving out the black badges!

Going to be tight at the front then...slarge wrote:16 hours 14 minutes. Going to beat that Barrington fella!
Last year I made up 15 mins on Phil Simcock by taking the right route over Carnau. Didn't alter the final outcome, but going the right way helpsnumplumz wrote:16 hrs 16 mins I'm following Ian, he knows stuff ;-)
Re: BB200 sub 24
Going to have plenty of room at the back then.
At least I should have plenty of tracks to follow, just hope they are the right ones !!!

Re: BB200 sub 24
It's all about finishing for me, I think ~30 hours would be a target but realistically I think it might be a wee bit later than that.
Stu what time do you expect the last people to roll in? No doubt I'll be at the back but hopefully not on my own by a long distance
