Yes - he did it with another guy from our club but they both rode as solos ( Mainly because they're both total nutters!! ), but yes, a lot of other people rode it teams of 4.

In fact one of our local clubs was entering a girlie team and were desperate to find a 4th rider after someone dropped out due to illness. I don't know how they got on because I've been away all week so I'll have to catch up with them.

The before and after pics of David and Tony really told the story - they both looked like they'd aged by about 20 years! I think it was a pretty unique experience for the support team too, who'd been on hand all night with food, support and encouragement.

They normally run this event on mid summers day in June so here in the UK it's only actually properly dark for about 4 hours.

This year, David was banned from doing it by his wife ( who's a marathon runner). Last year he was busy training for the Red Bull and she was in training for the Belfast mararthon and I don't think they got to see much of each other....
