  • Nightmare for me.

    Managed the first 50km seemingly okay. However after the first control o started feeling worse and worse. By the time I reached Shap I was groveling. Managed to get down to Penrith and took a long break and tried to eat something. Not much improvement. Pushed on to Carlisle where I realized I was definitely not myself and I had to keep stepping off the bike.
    Scratched and took the train home from where I spent the next three days in bed with a nasty fever. Not sure what caused it but am gutted.

  • Sorry to hear that, sounds awful. Strangely, another rider scratched with identical symptoms though I think his kicked in a bit later on as he'd got himself back to the Paisley control.

  • Might have been me if you’d only heard about it from volunteers.

    I did show up at Paisley around 7.30pm after getting the train to pick up my grab bag.
