I was looking at the clock in the top right hand corner of the tracking screen which is currently on 50hrs, 53mins elapsed (as at now, 10.53am).
I think she set off a few seconds after 8am didn't she?

She just has to round the last little hill - then there's a 'viewpoint' sign on the OS map ...you can see JOG...

Yes: all riding downhill now, but under two mins to beat 51 hrs.

Yep, downhill all the way now.
I do like that final roll into JOG. And then I realise I'm in JOG and there's bugger all there... :lol:

Perhaps we've crashed the server? Or has she stopped at the Hotel?

She should be in by now

That's the attraction though isn't it.
And if you've ever been to the lizard it's even better.
Lands end on the other hand avoid it like the plague, or close your eyes as you cycle under the arch of the main attraction, any flavour pasty :)

I'm hoping that she's finished - as in arrived - and the tracker is stuck. Although it's masked by the detail, the finish is on the seafront

She has!

They posted on Facebook 3 minutes ago. No official time, yet, but I think she has broken the record by an hour or so.

Someone else has posted that she's 1 hour 30 minutes better than the previous record https://mobile.twitter.com/BethanNowell ... 8132245505

edited to add: I think that's tracker time, rather than official.

The tracker shows 51 hours 5 minutes 18 seconds -- fantastic! Huge congratulations to Christina and the team. :D Edited to add that she started 13 seconds after the hour so that is 51 hours 5 minutes 5 seconds for the new record(according to the tracker).

The tracker froze on my machine and I was afraid she'd fallen off - fortunately all ok!
