Fixedwheel, I might well be up for that, a twelve would be perfect after this weekend
I went out pretty quick (too quick it turns out) and posted 239 for my first 12, then cracked around 16 hours in. The next 7 hrs were absolute hell, having to dig the deepest I've ever gone, nothing left, no power, knowing I still had 8 hours and a target of 200 miles left. Fortunately the berserker spirit took over for the last hour and I gave it everything - blitzing through the HQ crowds at 27mph was f*cking amazing - until I passed my final timekeeper at 14.02 and had to call for a lift back...
Total distance 429miles, 9th place, with my teammate posting 434miles and 8th place - a massive thanks to the support crew for a stirling job.
Can't recommend this event highly enough, it's unique.
