impressive to go so far on a bike for abit of bb. salute to you mate.
time to derail the thread abit. 2weeks ago a guy in sweden did the swedish classic with a twist. to do a swedish classic you have to do 4 things during a year. you have to Vasaloppet, thats 90km on skies. you have to do Vätternrundan, 300km on a bike. vansbrosimmet, swim 10k in damn cold water so you have to use a drysuit during the time. and then to end it you run Lidingöloppet, 23km of running in rather nasty terrain.
now for the twist that this guy did. he did all of these things during 24hours. he had a helicopter that took him between the diferent start and goals of each race. he said after he done all these things that the worst part of it was the flights inbetween, he had cramps all over during that time.
so here is the challange for you Sillysod. come to Sweden and do a swedish classic and become a legend;)
sorry for my bad english |

Apparently '5 hours to London. 6 hours lost in London. Then train.'
So kind of.
No doubt a splendid effort. |

Pretty much.
Two hours after the train too (sudbury -> stowmarket) but it got too dark to do any more and I'd arrived at my final destination. Really irritated about London because I was going pretty strong up until then ..... next time |
