HT550 Grand Depart - May 2022

[Alexinthepeaks]

Stunning achievement from Alex [ and Huw] but he is going to be annoyed with the light costing him second place

Chapeau to them all though and those still riding

Do you know what...actually Simon deserved it...He smashed past me on a climb in the night riding very strong. Id have easy caught him on the descents but it was still a long way to go. I actually woke up to an epic sunrise and rode the rest during golden hour. It was truelly incredible. Simon put in a great effort in basically XC kit, and i was in full winter kit. No idea how he did that!

Ace. Thanks for the update

[Lazarus]

Trep still going and Chris Johnstone looking like he will be oldest completer. Was he doing it SS?

[fatbikephil]

I think only Mike Debernardo was SS.
Trep on the GGW, looking like she will be about 24hrs ahead of her time last year?

Trepwatch: Appreciating all the messages of support. Really hot today, and hoping for an all nighter. Fingers crossed, eh?

Tell her to get some kip, when I pulled an all nighter on the last bit I ended up in an absolutely foul mood

[Bearlegged]

I tell her this* every time we go out riding together, she never listens.

*"Let's stop at this pub."

The last couple of nights have been fantastic. Riding through when it's like this is one of the best ever feelings.
