12 What a great day! The camping, weather, company, track, it was all great.
This is the first time that I've properly watched my diet & fluids leading up to an endurance event. It really paid off. I thought that my 4th & 5th lap would be slower, but, all 5 laps were within 41 seconds of each other. My last lap wasn't even my slowest! I was keen for a 6th, but the 8 hrs had already expired.
Many thanks to all the fellow riders who checked on me after my OTB incident on my first lap. No damage done, except for a whopping bruise.
This weekend has planted a seed of 'solo' 8hr one day. Not to win line honors, but just to ride for 8 hrs.

Great result mate. 8hrs is a seriously longtime in the saddle. Hopefully the bruise has subsided
Just to clarify... I was in a 2 man team. After I re-read my post, it didn't quite make sense! Mark (my team mate) did 6 laps.
