The spreadsheet of individual mileages is available Click here (This is an excel file that will open in a new window)
Hopefully we transcribed everyone's mileages correctly, but if you spot any errors then drop me an email. Thanks, Rich.
For the last 3 years we have propelled Pudsey Bear round this track non-stop for 24 hrs.
After last year's fantastic journey of 603 miles the little bear went very yellow and staggered off dizzy to collapse in the corner!

We thought it was time for a change! Who should we ride for now? The answer is UK Youth.
We heard about UK Youth through Magnus Backstedt - UK Youth is a leading national youth development charity supporting over three quarters of a million young people.
They do this by developing, promoting and delivering a range of innovative education programmes in partnership with a national network of member organisations. Their aim is to enable young people all over the UK to raise their aspirations, realise their potential and have their achievements recognised. To find out more visit: UK Youth website
They also support the new UK Youth pro team. It was an obvious choice. Will the event change? Yes slightly this year the we will be looking to encourage younger riders to get involved (to tow the old stagers round! i.e. Graham).
For the 2011 event riders from Chippenham Wheelers, New Forest CC, Poole Wheelers, Birmingham CC, Team Midland Racing, VC St Raphael and Grand Masters will rack up the highest possible mileage of all their riders combined.
Starting at 12:30pm on Saturday 5th November.
The teams will change every hour. While on the move you can follow your team’s progress by logging onto the event schedule page to see the results - or watch the riders efforts live on the webcam (assuming the techie wizzards can get it all to work). Webcam up and running from about 12:15pm - click the link on the menu bar above.
We have live feeds from Twitter as well. The one to the left shows what the organisers have to say, whilst the feed on the "Live" link above shows what everyone else in TwitteratiLand is talking about.
