Newt and Nuts Xmas sprint.challenge/race :)

[Pjam]

AG - you might want to relay a message to Newt to get his a*se back home sharpish.

There's a weather warning out for heavy snow starting at 18:00 and there's gonna be drifts building up too as the wind kicks in.

Let us know when he's home safe.

+1 yeah could be coming?

They are staying down in Cornwall tonight! There is no way i think Newt would ride back tonight! He will ride back tomorrow! Hopefully it will clear a bit tommorrow as he will be coming from Cornwall, and i have to drive back from Nottingham!!

[Saltysnax]

Well done you pair of crazy madmen, glad you made it safe & sound. And a big thankyou to Bob for being compare for the event. What is next, London to Sydney in a week???

[maverick]

congrats to both of u!! im rather jealous safe return trip

[Karloff]

Well Done Lads!!! I'm glad you both made it safely. Riding thru the night in this weather must have been totally Baltic and has given a difficult enough journey in mere daytime a new dimension.

It's been a gripping story, you've both definately earned your turkey & sherry this Christmas.

Sounds like you both had to do a little roadside maintenance en-route...

Thanks also Bob for relaying the info!!!

I look forwards to seeing the stats & photos..

[Newtsalad]

many thanks to all for the best wishes, its been a most memorable experience and the support has helped immensly. Special thanks to Bob for enabling us to share the experience, which I hasten to add is far from over.
Laying in bed in Helston watching telly at the mo and I am more daunted at the prospect of the 'mere' 360 mile ride home today than I was setting out Wednesday. The Conti's served me well, right now I wish I had the knobblies on Git.
I haven't felt trepidation like this since I was diving, not so sure I miss that feeling now!
Anyway, I shall set out about 10 to 10.30 see how it goes and be prepared to lay up if necessary. If I make Reading I can stay at Su's brothers overnight.
Oh well, upwards and onwards, in those immortal words, 'I may be some time...'

[Macabry]

Congrats Gents, a stunning achievement, especially given the weather...

What was the start to finish time all told ??? anyone know???

It's got to be a record?

Massive respect,
Shane.

[Diesel Dave]

AG, did Newt make it OK to Reading?

[Boo]

Amazing achievement from Nutter and ..er.. Nutter!
Great reading through this whole thread just now, knowing the outcome but feeling the suspense all the more for that.
Well done chaps!

[aliengravy]

Nutter has broken down just south of Bristol, they believe it is a holed piston, he's waiting for the RAC.

Newt is currently at St Albans on the M25, he's making a dash for home! I drove back from Nottingham today, and just got in! The roads are horrendous here, i fell over just getting out of the car!!


Makes me want to venture out on me cub though
