Good luck - glad you have been training, because its quite tough. I did it last year, and maybe i'll do it again some day, but not for a while!

Nice write up!

Yes, that bit up to Truleigh Hill is a proper biatch whichever way you approach it!

Have you regained feeling in your ass yet?
No issues at all in the ass dept! Two pairs of padded shorts and plenty of Chamois Cream.

Richard, what's the PH Strava club???

Nice - just gave you some kudos.
~7 hrs riding was around what we did it in.
Cheers! Was a great day wasn't it! Superb organisation. Fortunate that I didn't need ANY mech support (bike ran like a dream!) and I managed to stay upright so didn't need any medic support either. Painkillers WERE required though at one stage as two weeks previously I managed to cause myself a 'sub lux shoulder dislocation'(from coming off). Apparently.
