Most of the 12s were after the 24hr so I was doing big miles for that already.
When the Newbury 12 was added I finally got a 12hr in before the 24hr and came second to Topham with 293ish miles which is pretty good for a broken drunk but that year I was training for a crack at the LEJOG record so once again was doing big miles. Volume has worked for me, other, faster riders spend a LOT less time on their bikes. Obviously I consider that cheating. :)

Yer, I see what you mean hippy, all that way, the longest ride I've ever done for a 12 is 80 miles, I can't be arsed to go out for 6 hours, I was talking to Rob Richardson (ex Hounslow, now rides for the Chippenham) next year for prep for the 12 he reckons I should go out an do 150 mile rides!!!!! The thought makes me shake!!!!!
