[Exit Stage Left]

I'm sure we were told somewhere whose dog Zara is, something about her being the mascot of a Belgian club, who rode around with hter in a basket?

Also did anyone else see an Austarlian rider carrying a small dog in a basket attached to thes handlebars ?

I did, though I thought he was French

They seem to have got round about 20 hours faster than me

Neither of them, he's from Antoing in Belgium. Zara (the dog) is the club's mascotte.
Last year I met them at the Crazy Biker's ride to Brussels:

That makes the rider 8589 Eric Desmette. I'm loving the pictures.
