Luke, he'll be into a head wind on the way back - not strong but enough to hurt, still he doesn't need to dip far below 10 hours on the return leg to take the outright record.

Come on Ian!

Blimey, the strapline to the story says 4:30pm at Cocking - which means 13 1/2 hours into the ride and only around 35 miles to go. At that rate he'll be able to get a good few in before closing time!

He's finished - 18:03, breaking the record by the best part of TWO HOURS. Awesome. Just spoke to him on the phone, he didn't even sound tired...

Looks like somebody's going to have to find another niche to add to the record if they want to beat that!

A true BigDog time Ian. Awesome stuff. I think that's put it out of sight. And, by my reckoning, that's the biggest single chunk off the record in one go. Bonkers.

As Charlie says, you just put a big target on your back for the BrightonBigDog race
