8 hours in and Willesden's Stuart Birnie is in the lead!

Hoppo is third currently.

Hippy wins, one of only 2 riders to go over 20mph.   Looks like a great ride.

Do you know if he's planning on qualifying for RAAM ?

Amazing effort and great to see him winning after a challenging season from what I gather.

I know of some of his aspirations for next season, so we'll see!

It does mean I feel a little bit of a cheat winning the club 24 hour trophy with my modest distance (the season did technically end a couple of weeks ago, but Stuart deserves the silverware far, far more than me!).

I heard that 2nd place was also by a Brit (though Hippy is Australian)

Yep, and an ex-Willesden rider to boot, so willesden on the top two spots!
