Bravo Dave

The most excellent effort Mr Barter.

I cannot begin to imagine how difficult that will have been.

I am in awe.

Si

Amazing. Am a bit awestruck too and doing a sort of one minute respectful silence in homage of Dave's fortitude and staying power.

We ought to invent a new swear word to mark his achievement..

Jolly good idea Perhaps Dave could judge?

Chapeau sweaty Dave (attempted 'sweary' but left typo in for amusement)!

Boggles the mind doing that mileage over that terrain in those conditions for that many days.

Hardcore!

Big respect Dave, fantastic effort

Well done Dave, that’s a great effort!

Nice one day, great achievement

Probably is sweaty and sweary, Chapeau Mr B

Great ride Dave!! Congratulations!! I do hope there's a book in it all

Brilliant ride Dave. Well done

Happy for you Dave.

That was a tough finish. So glad to go under 21 days. Thanks for following me on my journey which has been a hell of an experience. Expect the usually dodgy video soon

Finally thanks to Alan G for not giving me a HT550 place and making me look for something else to do

chapeau sir [ and alan G for inspiring you ]

So good

BTW first over 50 year old

but you were still beaten by a girl with no gears

Winning your age category is all us old duffers can aspire to. Congrats again

Well done Dave, brilliant, and technicaly you were beaten by a girl with one gear, not no gears, but she is rather fine!

... and here's a bloke who looks very little like Dave, pretending to be Dave at AW.

Great work Dave.

****!

technicaly you were beaten by a girl with one gear, not no gears,

Surely its Ok to describe a SS as a bike with no gears?
I agree she has one gear but she does not have gearS

Fantastic! Well done Dave. Looking forward to reading the write-up.

When someone points out my ssp with "there's only one gear!" I like to say I actually have two.
