    Technically I need my license through before I can call myself a pilot, but I figure I'm close enough!
    Next stop lucrative contract with Ryanair....

    Mostly country lanes / shared paths. It's all pretty pedestrian (ha) stuff. Fifty miles over about 5 hours.

    I'm unusual in that I keep my speed down when I'm around other path users and communicate either vocally, with my bike bell or both. So many cyclists hurtle along in stealth mode. Pricks.

    There are shared paths in Surrey.

    Granted not in woodland.

    Most of the tracks in the woods round here are shared, there's a couple of bike only tracks and a couple of footpaths

    Just finished in 1st. Still 5 going. They are all at least 5 hours behind. They have 12 hours 23 minutes to finish...

    Amazing as he was unwell the last week. Was thinking of dropping to only a double.
