Hi, recognise you from start- i was on silver mtb. Did 12:10. What is url of official photos please? Regards Gert
Gert,
Glad to hear you made it. Starting in the last pen I was v.nervous that we would be one of the 2600+ that didn't.
Check out official photo on:

Hi Richard,
I took that photo of you at the start - weird to find it at the bottom of your excellent report!
All three of us finished, me in 10.30, Dan (tall guy)in 11.30, and Ed got caught 3km from the top of the last Col but finished anyway.
A great day that gets better as the pain fades.
See you around Richmond Park

David,
Thanks again for taking the photo. And congratulations for making it to Loudenvielle.
A great day it was. 10 hours or alternating between grimaces (climbs) and smiles (descents). But 'enjoyed' every moment.
