Steven Abraham I slept on someone's sofa in Diss for about two hours before we did the 200km loop. Then I carried on. When I got to Red Lodge at 7pm, I got very sleepy. I kept stopping to sleep for the last 75-80 miles. The wind didn't help either. I was down to 8mph in the fens. Having tired legs probabl' didn;t help either. I had a slow puncture for most of the ride and decided to change the tube about 40 miles from home but my pump was gone. I probably dropped it when I stopped for a crap in the woods and was looking for my toilet roll. So I stood up and leant forwards to take the weight off my back wheel and carried on 8 miles to Halfords in Lethcworth to buy a pump. I got home about 1pm, so it took me 18 hours to do the last 75-80 miles. I was sleepy because I started this ride the day after I finished a 450 mile ride and I was allready behind sleep when I started that one. 2 years ago
