Tour of Britain ride - Stoke

[thistle]

I am justifying these photos being here because there were some nutters on mountain bikes doing the ride (70k route at least):

Loads of crazy bikes. In theory you were supposed to have a go when you'd finished but I was sick of bikes by that point!


The Extreme Mountain Bike Team


Hopefully someone with come up with a statistic of how many tonnes of complimentary Soreen products were consumed during the day. I know I've come home with about £10 worth of the stuff!

Course I did!

I have the 50 sheets of normal and 14 of moisturised Andrex bog roll that came in the goody bag to prove it! ;D (And more of that Fenwicks isotonic drink).

Didn't get a timing chip because I registered on the day so I might not show up in the results but I did it in 5 hours 37 mins.
They're expecting the pros to be finished in 4 hours on 16th September

Well done m8, how far was it? Im taking it you dd it on the roadie?

[thistle]

I did the 145km 'pro' route and yeah I was on the road bike.

Was worth it just for the "know your prostate" leaflet you got in the goody bag

Got chatting to someone about 15 miles from the end who just tagged along because the route went past his house
