London Phoenix

Good luck this weekend chaps, keep pedalling!

Bits of me hurt that I didn't know could hurt.

Stopped for a total of 20 mins, 27 laps, 190 miles, 30,000ft climbing, 24 hours 10 mins total. 7th Solo. I'm in bits today. I'll get a full blog post up shortly with a more detailed look at the race.

Ellis, you were riding super strong, how you did that course solo, on a rigid SS I do not know. Did you get 24 in the end?

Brilliant effort, Will. Photos looked great!

Did 23 laps in the end, which got me 15th solo male. Had a sneaky little sleep between 2 and 4 but was otherwise pedalling.
Riding rigid was tough my hands and forearms have taken a bit of a beating!! Riding the singlespeed seemed to work OK with similar lap times to geared bikes; you just bosh up the hills then chill on the flats for a bit of recovery.
Loved the weekend, my first 24hr solo and one of the best things I've done. Going to try for straight through next time!

Awesome result for you Will. Very impressed you didn't stop!

both amazing results, well done guys. respect

Yes, everything Owen said. You've certainly set the bar for the Bonty!

Cheers guys, and well done Ellis! My arms and hands were in bits so can't imagine what you were like.

Great write-up, thanks Will.

But most importantly, congratulations to both of you, incredible performances!

really enjoyed reading that Will, cheers . Amazing effort.

Thanks both.

There were times on my last two laps when I thought i'm not sure I want to do this anymore. Then I thought of Adrian riding across America
