KCA 12 hour done and so are my knees Fuck that was a hard ride, started well until turning in to the wind at Camber, 85" fixed and wind don't mix "well not with my dodgy legs" started getting bouts of cramp pushing so hard on the pedals and by 12 midday that started playing havoc with my knees and I just got slower and slower.
A puncture at 12.30 gave me the chance to flip the wheel and gear down to 80" but by then the damage was done and it was Ibuprofen and sheer bloody mindidness that saw me finish.
First 50 in 2h.25m and 100 in 5h.31m
My Garmin said 190.1miles at the 12 hour point but then I cramped really bad and had to hobble up a hill before rolling down to the last timekeeper so that will probably effect the official calculation.
Steve Berry of San Fairy Ann CC road a great ride and looks like he has beaten the course record with 276miles.
