Absolutely brilliant work :)

Awesome job, @hippy!

Well done, hippy. They're going to have to rename it Birniego Springs now. Or Beerniego Springs, as we all know that is what made the difference. I'm sure all of LFGSS will take inspiration from this and hit the pubs.

^ doing it right

@Velocio Can we change LFGSS logo to WC stripes please?

so much this ^

Massively impressive. Well done @hippy

@Velocio Can we change LFGSS logo to WC stripes please?

Thirded!

Good bloody job, hippy! Superb comeback after feeling so glum earlier in the year. Please smash the Hour Record next, thanks.

If someone can take the SVG of the logo, and overlay modify it such that I am given back an SVG of the logo with WC stripes on it... then I'll do so.

But I cannot... as I am spectacularly shit at graphics programs, and with only Gimp installed on this Linux machine I can't even work with SVG files.

Ping me when it's done.

Great work Hippy.

fantastic. hard man

Top work sir. Huge congratulations to you and the team.

CHAPEAU HIPPY!

You hard bastard.

To think that I knew him and rode with him when he was a mere mortal.

Has this been resolved yet? Hippy still had nearly 9 minutes to go at 493 miles, so the final distance should be about 3 miles more.

Is he World Champion in the sense that the winner of the World Series (Baseball) is World Champion (of America), or properly World Champion, of the World (America AND everything else outside it)?

The former. There's no sign that the "World Champion" status is sanctioned by any international body.

Although not officially sanctioned by the UCI, it is open to people from around the world. The World Series is so called because it was initially sponsored by a newspaper called The World. It is not an attempt to hold a world-wide competition, even if Canadians join in. Canadians are, in any event, in the minds of everyone but themselves, American.

Hippy is World Champ in the same way that Cassius Clay/Mohammed Ali was World Champ.

Hippy is World Champ in the same way that Ben Corfield was World Champ.

ftfy

So, if I've understood you correctly, Clive, you are saying that Hippy is now King of the Canadians?

Amazing work @hippy.

I feel sorry for the first all you can eat place you come across this morning...

I feel sorry for the fist all you can eat place you come across this morning...

If he comes across anything today he deserves a bloody knighthood.

well done chunks.

Congratulation!
