SouthDownsDouble.net - defunct?

Post by Dyffers »

Thinking about a sub-24hr SDD this spring, and wondered who had added their name to the 'Hall of Fame' last year. But it doesn't look like the site has been updated since the end of 2011.

The site is still referenced from SelfSupportedUK.net - which does look like its being updated - but is there a new go-to site for the South Downs Double? Or do I need to do a triple or quadruple nowadays to get my name on a list? :shock:

Has the quad been done yet*?

*I'm not actually suggesting it - the triple seemed pointless enough ;)

I haven't heard of anyone beating Josh Ibbett's time yet though in fairness...

The South Downs Double site has been rather static recently and I know some work may be going on to bring it into this decade.

Last year there were a few attempts on the Double, one or two were successful with Russ Adams getting very close to Josh Ibbett's time, and several others who may try again later.

More information about riding the Double can be found on http://richardsterry.blogspot.co.uk/201 ... ouble.html
or you can even go for the Triple (suggest you try the Double first).

If you are thinking of joining the Hall of Fame, feel free to drop me a line if you want any more information.
