In what way?

The wind has picked up, so I'm having to pedal down hills.

Combined with low power, I'll soon eat up all my time in hand :-(

I think I can still finish inside 116 hours but no medal for me. Still going to bloody well try, though.

My mate Paul doing it this year on a fixed wheel! Nutter.

I love the craziness of people having the amazing ability to push their bodies and minds so much (huge respect to every one of you) - but not be able to sort simple mechanicals. I always imagined that the likes of LEL and PBP required years of skills and preparation with massive bush craft and bush mechanic skills in the blood. It is great to see regular extraordinary people doing it.
