Best wishes to Hippy - WC24H 2015

Bugger - but he's not alone - looks like 8 DNFs so far, and the night is still young.

I DNFd this event on lap 18 last year with a septic big toe, and it doesn't matter what the reason, a DNF on a big race with a lot of time and cash invested in it really does take a long time to get over - @hippy will not be a happy chappy right now and for some time to come. Gutted for him.

Pulled the pin at 8hrs. Really struggling to breathe the cold air I think. Left it too long to add layers trying not to stop. Warmed up in car and tried final lap but coughing and spluttered to a halt. Officially dnf'd after sleep in car. I think I'll finish on a low and never ride another 24hr. :( Thanks all.

It is, admittedly, a little stupid that they do it in the middle of the desert, with high day/night temperature differences. Well, done, Stuart. 24s are not worthy of you. HTFU and do a 48-hour race next. :)

Bad luck, Hippo. Get some more of that beer you were enjoying and take a well deserved break for a while :-)

20min until the 6hr. I could probably enter and win that now... FML.

You'll be back, this was a simple gamble on timing that didn't quite work out. No glitches, no learning. Have a good break ;-)

Beer will warm you up.

hard cheese hippo, now enjoy the rest of your holiday

Sucks dude, but awesome work anyway. Forum champion.

Sorry to hear, stay safe and look after yourself.
