GBDURO 2020 starts today

[Jamesh]

Wow that's some riding!!!

I don't think it's particularly dangerous being mainly off road.

On road I think there should be restrictions say 16h days???

Cheers James

Being off road could be particularly 'dangerous', even to others, walkers ambling along

Risk compensation has been discussed elsewhere on these fora

Edited james is on 1764 must of been a glitch on the web site, anisa is moving slowly, they are down to 135 & 110 k respectively today, and dont move much late on in day.
It must be hard work with dwindling food and aching body let alone the bike damage etc.

[NATURAL ANKLING]

Hi,
looks like they are not stopping, probably still light in scotland.............

[NATURAL ANKLING]

Hi,
James has made it home good job.
Anisa Is still plodding on it must be really hard work she must be gasping for some food I would've thought, 253K to go.

She's down to the last 10% of the course.

No idea how what grows in the very north of Scotland but there's lot of wild fruit that can be picked round here at the moment maybe that could just give her the few extra calories she needs.

[NATURAL ANKLING]

Hi,
I'm not sure that battery gear changing is particular very clever on long rides.
I think I prefer to have a cable.

[NATURAL ANKLING]

Hi,
She is within the hundred 100K of the finish
Probably be a struggle to finish today as she's already done 10 1/2 hours moving, probably early tomorrow.

[NATURAL ANKLING]

Hi,
Anisa Has done 200 km today, thats pretty impressive.
Just minutes from finishing.

[NATURAL ANKLING]

[1982john]

all in all a successful event. They took some flack when they announced it as we were just coming out of the tight lockdown but they've shown it can be done.

I hope to see more events of this type in the future.
