HT550 2021

whats going on with Marts tracker. It shows his dot going the wrong way the road all night slowly.

I looks like he was going the wrong way and headed towards Rosehall and has now turned back?

[FLV]

Back on Track

[slarge]

Glad Mart is back on track - I kind of thought the last 3 would be finishing together but they are making their own way back.

This will be a race that there will be some good writeups from I suspect!

Fantastic riding from Steve Waters, well over a day faster than his 2019 ITT.

Some awful news for the late finishers...

The Gorse Bush cafe in Kinlochewe had to close for essential gas repairs today (there is an alternative round the corner).

That may have done for Chris Johnstone? He seems to be heading out of Kinlochewe on the road East.

Bouncing dot for Steve Waters

[sean_iow]

Maybe only an hour for Lars and Phil as well

Lars looks to be bouncing.. well done

Trep and Mart still going strong though Trep seems to be stopped for a bit. Keep going... truly insiprational

[ScotRoutes]

Aye, Lars Phil and Annie all bouncing now. So we have a ladies winner.

[thenorthwind]

Well done Phil! And today's other finishers of course.

[fatbikephil]

Done! Crossed the line with Mike Toyn (his tracker was off). It was quite wet on Monday.....
More later

Anyone who stopped in Fort William might want to consider a Covid test.

Anyone who comes within 2m of one of us has no sense of smell....

Thanks so much for this... I'm gonna run a tiny little charity event soon with 6 lads (fundraising for the hunger crisis Yemen and one chap for orphans as a result of the Syria war) so trying to ensure I keep it as cl3an and safe as possible.

Hopefully all the folks that went into that store from the riders would have worn masks. Thankfully confirmed cases from outdoors is very very rare or nonexistant (based on what one of the professors at Edingburgh Uni reported/said).

A good eye opener and reminder for us all to continue being uber responsible (like Regs outdoor public house idea etc etc)...

New name for the Whistle Stop?

They should bottle it - be like covid busting smelling salts.......

Yep.

TBH I always wondered about the Whistle Stop as a name. It's not like there's ever been a train to Kinlochewe

First 3 (or 4) bikes and some info on em

Blimey - the HT on Bike Radar, whatever next. Pity (but typical) about the 'race' references.....

[redefined_cycles]

That's what I was thinking. Soon they'll have Stu up there with his smile and everything. They've obviously got struggles in the sales/hits dept?

[Wotsits]

Looks like Chris S is almost on the home straight now & should finish this afternoon

Yeah, was on prime time news in Switzerland lately. Reporting about the HT550 really must boost the viewers/readers numbers.
