Two more Crackpot perm successes this last week end [phew!]
Ian Ryall and Shaun Hargreaves started Thursday and finished some 72hrs or so later.
Horay!
To help the calendar event next year I have asked for their GPS and any info that may affect the ride in 2020.
Likewise if anyone can provide information on their perm Crackpot experience please get in touch. Don't be shy all assistance appreciated!
I'm not sure that my ride is any real use. After a GPS cock up I found myself using the backup routesheet on the way to the original Codford St Peter control. That was short lived, as my routesheet made a bid for freedom in the night, on the decent to Okeford Fitzpaine, never to be seen again...
This led to an improvised version of Crackpot for the last 2-300km.
I'm hoping to ride Tour Divide next year and I don't know how Crackpot fits in with the calendar.
Some riding, testing the route early next year might be a good plan for all.
It'd be good to ride again, though probably my first with gears. I'm sure I could still ride it on fixed within the time limit, but from my last Crackpot, I decided that I didn't really want to walk quite that much and if I did, I'd have gone for a walk, not a bike ride.
On the other hand, if it doesn't clash with anything higher up my hierarchy of events and an extra pair of hand are needed to make it possible, or even much less stressful, then volunteering would be a good option for me too.
