He has to stop for at least 6hrs and the minimum time is 4 days anyway.

I doubt that Ollie will be concerned that he's supposed to take 4 days. But I do think he'll look after himself, get some kip tonight and ride straight through tomorrow. I'd pick a 1400 hrs finish. Looks like he's set up camp in the scrub beside the road just short of St Arnaud to me

Good prep for the GDR

I'm worried about how little work I'll get done during the GDR.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching you, Simon. Inspired a lot that I know of. Thank you

Sifter, big thanks for the update on Joel and Claire! I imagine Joel is enjoying the Sheffield bakery again....

Thanks for the coverage, wish I could be there!

He's not at all concerned about when he's meant to finish. His comment on Sunday was "it's not in my make up to do it at anything but full speed."


If anyone is going down to the finish, his craving this time are for milkshakes

Heading out to Nelson cycleways with Ollies mad mum to hurl abuse.

Ollies on the cycleway. Just gone through Richmond at speed!

Heh. We rode from the bottom of the Wharfedale over to Sheffield with him.....I was kind of expecting to cruise along at ~25kph. Nup, 30+kph the whole way Must have been the pies calling

Crikey. He's in Nelson already.

What trails is he taking from here?

Or.... McDonalds....
