There's Martyn Ashton, and then there's a bunch of lads riding up Mont Ventoux on a Boris Bike and arriving back in London within 24hrs. Puts our Xmas "slow Boris bike race" to shame. *mental*

Chapeau! I did that ride this summer on my carbon fibre bike and it nearly killed me, so can appreciate what an effort that must have been on that clunker! Madness!
Ha, yes i saw that and while i have no great desire to ride a BB up mt Ventoux (50m up the pavement outside The Dovetail was enough) i really, really wouldnt want to do that drive in 24hours. It certainly was bonkers!

next year though I may rock up on the Brompton and see what goes. Can we have a Brompton category next year, wot you say Tim?
