World exclusive:

 

Put down your helmet

For it is done

Put down your shoes

For it is done

Follow the trail of sweat and rubber

For it is done

 

Yes, the challenge is laid to rest. One thousand metres in two hours.

To those that wish to scrutinise, the evidence will be laid before the uci commissarie (Dr McLean).

Available in Strava and Garmin, with power, heart rate, cadence and lots of other stats you didn't even know you were no. Interested in.

A book signing is imminent and a film to follow. 8-)

 

1146m in 1:59.

Starting 14m ending 9m.

 

Now where is my pipe and slippers :icon_yes

Paul,

Thanks for asking :grin:

http://app.strava.com/rides/10682063 Strava details

http://connect.garmin.com/activity/188431678 Garmin connect, allows a moving cursor demonstration of the route, no reclimbs, no way.

 

started at M8 entrance to Finlaystone, then up and down round Langbank, Gleddoch, Barscube, Stone Throne, Auchendores, Cloak road, Clune down to Graveyard, down to Lidl, up Clune hit 1000m then up the Wall (memories of jim Daly on his Tricross singlespeed kept me going there) down Barr's brae and part way back up Barrs brae and return to back of Tesco.

Finished below start point. Phew.

Recovery drink of chocolate milk in the sun by the Clyde, not a bad morning really Hello, beer !!

Well done, Duncan.

Didn't think it would be done so soon.

Has Doctor Dredd confirmed it officially?

 

In a scene reminiscent of Obree vs UCI I suspect he is examining the details very carefully.

I will leave the bike untouched to allow weighing and saddle nose to bottom bracket distances to be calculated.
