I don't think winning it is likely but I think I'm physically able to ride it sub-50. I went into this one 7kg heavier than I was last year and having been on the piss pretty solid since the 24hr (and before the 24hr to be fair since I was a bit burnt out). I only entered because I'd qualified and it only happens every 4 years and it's such a famous ride. So, now I know how to pre-qualify and how to save time in controls as well as how I handle sleep dep (not bad, need better alarm though) I reckon all it would take would be to get into a fast bunch and have help at controls. Even unsupported, I could probably knock 20 hours of this time.
I won't be riding it on a brand new saddle in 4 year though... that much is certain.

Just uploaded the file: 46 hours moving time, so an entire day spent in controls!
Powertap stopped after 13hrs. I'm pretty sure it had new batteries so I wonder if there's an issue (or I just forgot when I actually changed them).
Very sore today. Mouth is shredded still and gooch experiencing random stabbing pains. Legs ok, considering.
