Thanks to everyone who took part, help organise, manned food stops and cheered along the way. You're all fantastic and helped make my first DD everything that I dreamed it would be. Really great night.
Hello to all the forumers I managed to speak with, and apologies to those that I was too tired to speak to [there were millions of you on the beach! :)]
Fun to put real names, faces and bikes to your avatars.
Hi Dglsrhn. Saw your excellent jersey at the start and yelled out "Diggerluhsurhun" about 4 times looking like a nutter until you turned around :)
Lovely to catch Jake and Theo again.
Fun chatting with the illuminated Mr. Drem, and Crispin and brother along the way too.
Thanks for the magic y'all!
My one regret is blazing past Chung with 40ish miles to go then arriving later than him after we took our detour.
Haha. Sucker! Very glad you brought the traditional shouty Eversholt "Chuuuuuuuuuuuung!" greeting with you.
One of my two Cree Q5 lights has a nasty habit of switching from low to flashing when I go over a bump.
This. Glad I didn't get any punctures but every time I hit a significant hole I'd get partially blinded by double strobe effects.
fell in a ditch whilst taking a piss at about 3am this morning, like an idiot.
Also did this. I've got a dodgy right cleat that I can't unclip/reclip easily. I resorted to a wonky, one foot still clipped-in, weeing stance. It wasn't the safest method.
