There is a MTB thread

I'm back, ride completed. Possibly the hardest sporting thing I have ever done.

My stats:

Miles = 81
Riding time = 6h 29min
Total time = 7hr 14min (approx)
Ave riding speed = 12.5mph
Height gained = 2300m (7600ft) approx. Will confirm later
Weight at 6:00am = 12st 11lbs
Weight at 6:00pm = 12st 10lbs

I finished 4th out of the nine of us I did it with.

To paraphrase Sir Stephen Redgrave: "If you ever see me on the starting line for the Dragon Ride again you have my permission to shoot me"

PS:
Quiff - it was absolutely freeking boiling out there. Climbs done Wiggins-stylee with shirt open to waist

Well done Jabba, given your lack of ride training due to illness thats a fantastic effort

Cheers mate. I've nearly died twice this year - January and today

Not going to touch the bike for week other than to clean it
