21:30 on Monday 30th. I'm plugging his control times into a spreadsheet
thingummy that some chap put up on the AudaxUK group, and if I'm reading it
right he's making bloody good time

Naath and I were looking - control 10 at 1330 today, 9 at 0454, 8 at 2100
yesterday. I suspect SLEEP followed that.

If the control closing times are pro-rata through the 1200km I fear that
means he's cutting it pretty fine. Hope the weather isn't too awful.

I believe that it is unseasonably damp & cold.
Webcams and photos mainly showing low cloud and rain, haven't seen
much blue sky yet.

Come on Mr. L - I know you can't read this now, but we're all with you
in spirit!

MartinM (4241) est passé le 23/08 à 20h42 à VILLAINES
Mseries (6790) est passé le 23/08 à 21h33 à VILLAINES
Legs Larry (7443) est passé le 23/08 à 23h15 à VILLAINES

Dunno what Blonde's name is so couldn't find her times. Some bloke wot
possibly shares her surname (Wells?) clocked into Villaines at 20h48.

Legs is cutting it fine, but doesn't seem to be slowing down - looks like
he's simply trying to get maximum enjoyment from the ride by prolonging it
as much as possible 😉

Blonde didn't manage to qualify. She's a tad ill at the moment with a
severe candida infection of her digestive tract making nutrition on long
rides a little difficult.

My mate Matt Chambers missed control 13, he is timed at control 14,
but Mr Larrington is not. Wassup?

Oh: "Machine: Special" - did he take the Trice?
