Last week Bob J completed the Andalucia Bike Race in approximately 35hrs. Please don’t do the maths (answer is a little over 7mph!!!) but the 250+ mile route consisted of 6 stages and a total climb of 9740m. Bob was teamed up with another Bob (Bob Whitmore from Didsbury, Manchester) who was 60 a few days before the start of the race. After frantic efforts to get the bike re-built the course was completed on the ol’ faithful Lynskey (26″ frame with 650B’s squeezed in running “Rapid Ron” tubeless tyres) with no problems except a shattered rear disc rotor (ultra-light-s-height). The two Bobs finished 7th VET50 out of 9 finishing teams (the wet stage two removed some 9 teams from the VET50 class!). Assorted pics are attached for your amusement (and your dartboard)…
