23h 50m including stops. 19h 18m moving. I had about 2 hrs sleep at a Costa in the middle of the night and rest of the time were control stops for food/receipts or normal traffic stops.

I could have gone a bit faster/stopped less but I achieved what I was aiming for so was happy with it for a first 400
  • a sub 16h 300k (I actually did 285k in 14.5hrs and then stopped at a control for food).
  • the 400k in less than 24h.
  • still able to cycle the next day.
All good news for LEL prep!

An excellent effort - good luck with LEL!

I've been having a few knee issues for a while so yesterday's ride was make and break for whether I continue with LEL.

I left home just after 3am, which was a good chance to try my dynamo light out and I am glad to say it is very good. I got up to London just as the sun was rising and it was magical to ride through an empty city, with just a few drunks, foxes and early morning commuters around. I'm glad to report that the knees are holding out, still a little sore, but not too bad. I am also reasonably happy with the pace doing 240km in 13.5 hours elapsed, so if I can keep this up I stand a chance of having some sleep on LEL. My wife drove up to visit my son and then drove me home, apparently I slept most of the way!

Seem to have lost the gold stars from my (and others) signatures. Any ideas?
 
Well, today I bailed before even driving to the start of the Horseshoe Pass 200km audax as I'd had a terrrible sleep and just couldn't muster up any enthusiasm to jump out of bed at 05:45hrs and do a 10-11hr cycle in the forecast cold and wet :cry:

As i now have basically no chance to do a ride longer than 6hrs in October it seems my ICaM challenge is kaput. Still, i'm having a lovely day with family instead so it's not all bad :smile:

Any reason as to why it's kaput?

I bailed a 100 today also, it would have been my 100th 100.
It's only just stopped raining. Very grim today.
