Well, champion.

Well done Hippy!

@Oliver Schick

Oh, and because it rhymes with 'Skippy'. The kangaroo. hippy's a big fan.

He's actually a fan of all things Australian. That's why he puts on the accent.

Is it strange that I am currently basking in your reflective glory?!

Amazing amazing job, for any conti-mentalists out there he did a 24hr average of 33km/ph. Unbelievable!

Well done!

Bravo!

not at all, hippy's triumph has had a very positive effect on my mood, and many other's as well judging by the congrats all round :)

he just gives so much of himself

There's a lot to give.

bad-dum-tish ;p

Very many congratulations, Hippy!

Congrats! Achievements like this can only make your life better, awesome job!

Nice one Hippy!! Congratulations!

He drinks a lot of beer. As a consequence, he developed the nickname "hoppy" derived from the hops that flavoured the beer and which oozed out of his pores. The vast consumption of this alcoholic beverage, coupled with his strine accent meant that he was unable correctly to articulate the word "hoppy" when he came to England and everyone thought that he was saying that he was called hippy instead.

True Story

Actually, he started to dislike 'hoppy' when everybody strongly associated this with the kangaroos native to his homeland, and as the shy and retiring type he was never one to play up where he came from.

Well done Hippy Stu

Thought you was cycling for London Dynamo?

Thanks for the kind words all.

Right, these beers aren't gonna poor themselves...

Chapeau man, that's an amazing achievement!

Blown away hippy, great work.

Have you considered the journey back by bike and pedalo?

We all should celebrate when you get back in the country.

Good idea. We could do a 24 hour forum ride.

It would end up taking 36 hours at a minimum

I think the multiplier increases exponentially versus distance, any ride to the pub is at least x1.5, London > Brighton is about x3, so if we apply the same theory to time, I think it would be about a fortnight.
