Powerful ride.....!

And after reading the two guy's bios on the cycling weekly link further up the thread, I hope Micheal keeps the record over Mr To!!

An incredible feat, well done! Can only imagine the conditions for the last half will only add to the legend.

Absolute beast. Man knows how to suffer big time.

That records will sit on the shelf for a very long time. Michael bleeds class.

Amazing! Well done @wheels_of_fire - you are one tough bastard.

Ballsy as hell. I can't even imagine how deep you have to dig. Chapeau.

He’s speaking of trying endurance racing. I think I’ll stop giving him tips or I’ll be out of a job!

Clearly, he doesn’t let Shermers stop him...

Oof.

Ouch. ;)

Amazing ride. It has been very exciting to follow on here and Twitter.

Congratulations, Michael. Setting the bar high for Ian To, if he's still racing. :)

Ian To whilst clearly a strong rider, does not appear to have the mental resilience needed.

Michael has gained this record despite really difficult conditions, once the heavy rain started I thought that would be the end of it, somehow he kept ahead, then got Shermers and still kept going, what a way to take the record.

It's been exciting to follow.

Fantastic ride, brilliant stuff @wheels_of_fire. Outstanding!

Fooking hell - incredible ride @wheels_of_fire especially given the circumstances!

An amazing ride!

Anyone know what the z value was?

Proberbly not what he quite expected.
I’d think the wind z value was a good bit positive but with the rain it’s drag it back to average.

In good weather he could have been a couple of hours quicker, not having to stop so often for dry clothes, neck massages, etc. Which is frightening as it was a tough record.
The women's one is a good bit more attainable. Jasmijn should get it if all goes well for her later in the year, so there's a good chance both will go this year.

How does he actually ride a bike with balls that big?! He is as tough as they come.

Does anyone know if you can download a GPX file from Trackleaders.com directly?

Answered my own question. Found what I wanted in frrt

Brilliant Broadwith Beats ‘Unbeatable’ Record

“Then I was actually doing it in the early hours of this morning and thinking 'bloody hell, this is me, in this moment, and I’m climbing up Berridale and I’m going to nail this record, my friend Des running alongside. I have to remember it because it is a perfect moment in life where I’m actually living the moment that I wanted to live in incredible intensity."

Brilliant!
