• riding with SE's lot for almost the whole way then - massive thanks to Chainbreaker, OneLessCardigan, OldSkoolRacer and Hovis for making me laugh and push through the pain (the goddamn tandem, the dancing, the groans at every hill!!!), you were all amazing and I couldn't have done it without you!
  
  

was a good group we had going at the end, collecting the lost and injured of the forum, Autobus style!

i'd just like to point out the tandem that MG is cursing was NOT billundben and tapsandbath. i'm sure they were a pleasure to ride with although i don't remember seeing them til the end.

Very special thanks out to Simon (OLC), you did a spectacular job of looking after whoever was in your field of vision.

cheers Iain! i'm sorry i dropped you that one time I'd made a special point of waiting while you sorted out your electrolyte solution because i knew it would be hard work catching our bunch again. it took me ages and somewhere along the way, you lost my wheel.
but i remembered! much later when i dropped back to support jess, i said to her "our lot are way too far ahead now to catch up. but iain's behind us, if we go slow, he'll find us"...and you did :-D

and that was the start of our merry band for the finish. we picked up the lost sumo and later the lost cyclotron3k. and OSR and hovis, matt having bonked because he'd left all his energy gels too late, and needed a break, then binged on all his gels and act like a hyper kid all the way to the beach..."they've got us surrounded!" and "get out of the way Boardman!" being my favourite OSR moments
