268 miles in!

Looks like Gruffy and Stephen are having a well earned kip in the Post office!

The website link thing is great viewing .


These guys are just beasts

Some Gruffy non-friendly sections yesterday and coming up with some fairly lumpy terrain. Looks like he's currently getting some kip before pushing on. Just outside the top 10. Amazing effort.

Special mention to the Tania machine which appears to function with zero sleep.

After what looks like about 7 hours off, he's moving again!

Jealous in some ways, but possibly not others...

I am looking at the data and am seeing impressive efforts

The first 4 riders are through the Copperfield checkpoint already - the first at just 13 seconds over 2 days since the start time

The leader is 165 miles ahead of Gruffy

Long way for everyone to go yet.
