Good episode last night. Almost wincing about his "chaffing".
Next week is the Pike Peak and your crazy enough to go up their in a car, never mind a bike. They have sanitised the course over the years but the drop off's are scary stuff.

I have great respect for him. Looked like a good effort to achieve that result. Good on them keeping going after getting the record too.
Have to say, this fills the top gear Sunday night viewing slot rather nicely - in fact (as a TG fan) I would say I would watch this before TG.

Great show - and once again his down to earth nature (and of his pal) made them very endearing.
Very much looking forward to the pikes peak

Just caught this last night, great programme and he is always great to watch.
Is it really the same record if you're using a fully faired streamlined bike against a standard tandem? It's similiar to the hour record with track bikes/recumbent/steamlinners etc.

I wonder how far they could've gone of the weather hadn't been as bad.
Leaves it open to be beaten, any takers?
