No way is that a world record distance though right? Triplets have done PBP?

Three triplets have finished PBP, French (the first), British (including teethgrinder) and German (multiple times for the three brothers).

Charity rides and claiming non-existent world records often go together.

Can't exactly point it out without sounding like a dick.  :D

Anyone got a triplet? Anyone fancy a world record?

And there's a Guinness record for Lands End to John o' Groats on a triplet.
