Congratulations!
Interesting that all the bikes seem to be hardtails.
Would you do it again?

Generally hardtails - probably the ideal bike. some full-bouncers, some rigid forks (even one CX bike - mad or great skills) and quite a few single speeds (for reliability)

I'll be under huge pressure to do it again next year. I kinda feel I've met the challenge - it was something that I was in awe of. But, if they were desperate I would.

I guess you have a while to be railroaded into next year's event. A fantastic achievement, and a bonus if your legs still work tomorrow.

Well I don't feel too bad this morning. A bit tired and battered (swelling on my wrist has gone down) - obviously I got dehydrated more than I thought too. Not going into work until lunchtime.

Really appreciate all the support - thanks so much - you are a fantastic bunch of people.

Couple of relatively dull pics





Second one hopefully gives some idea of how cold it was sitting about in a gazebo in the Scottish Highland forests in the middle of winter!

That looks cold. I guess a nice Whisky was off the menu?

The support guys were thinking about mulled wine - but were worried they might need to take us to hospital at some point...!

Awesome effort MRS, well done.

Thanks for all your support with the Puffer donations. By the time my employers match-fund it, I'm on target to reach at least £3100 for TCT.

Added to the racing money raised last year, the total is over £10,000 with another £5,000 on top from Mrs MRS doing a fund-raising day at her school.

If you're near Argos this weekend, please sling any loose change you have in the TCT bucket

Thank you for all your support.
