 What the article doesn't say is that Rob was a regular Peak Midweeker for several years while he was living ooop in New Mills until he moved back to the tropical south. He's scary fast as well as being a lovely bloke and we're all rooting for him. Go Rob, pedal

 do we think he has internet access whilst he is doing this lads? Hope you do not hurt to much once you have finished.
|
|
 Winter? It's like summer today in the cotswolds!
|
|
 I'm wearing flip flops down here But yes, all my encouragement Rob!
|

do we think he has internet access whilst he is doing this lads?Erm, nooo, I doubt he's focussed on anything other than riding right now... One of the nice things about Rob is that while he was up here he was actually fast-ish but not extraordinarily quick, then last year did a lot of riding and was transformed into something very, very rapid indeed. He raced Mayhem with us last year and recorded one of the fastest laps of the event, but despite suddenly being properly fast, he's not remotely big headed about it. Winter? It's a calendar thing isn't it? I can't say summer in the Peak last year resembled anything that a rational person would recognise as summer

actually he has got some good weather, little wind, been dry for a good week or so. but its going to be one hell of a long night ride, just over 12 hours of darkness.
|
|
 Very impressive, hope we manage to get some updates somehow.
|
|
I think Rory's going to be reporting back so that BM can update the site with his progress, leastways that's what the article says. Rob likes the dark btw, his second main interest other than riding bikes is building home-brew LED lights.

a man after my own heart. i did wonder what you were going with this, "Rob likes the dark btw, his second main interest other than riding bikes is" ..........

 If the weather on teh South Downs is anything like it is in London today, he's timed it to perfection. Might even get a slight tan! Rory is going to be keeping us updated as best he can over the weekend, so stay tuned for more. We'll get the post-ride low-down from Rob next week, once he's had suitable time to recover
|
|
I'm told he's going very, very fast...
|
|
 hooray for Rob!!!! if anyone can do it then Rob can...go go go
|
|
Well I hope he is succesful Alpine though ? 
|
|
 Awww, this would be great fun to follow if we had the interactive GPS google thingy that we had with Rob lee's attempt. Go Rob!
|
|
I've just had Rory on the phone. Latest is that Rob is going very well, and should be making the turn soon. Should hopefully get some photos later today, fingers crossed. Agreed, GPS Live would be great
|
|
Alpine though ?
Doesn't that just refer to take everything you will use whenyou set off
|
|
very inspiring, not only that he is physically able to do the double, but that he has done it today, been a cracking day, first real one of spring and have hated being at work. i am sure all of use would hev loved doing an all day ride today, hope the night goes well rob!
|
|
 He's about to turn - I am going to see him go through the Dyke at I reckon around 11pm if any other brightonians want to join after some pints on route! this will be 13 hours in. He has had a lovely tail wind on the outward and now the wind is dying down.. GO ON!
