Good luck to him. I will be out watching it with my sister in law and nephews as my brother is riding too for the 2nd time. He completed it last year too.

Yes he finished at 1315 got his  :medal:

And I managed to get up to see him finish but left him up there . There were lots of bad accidents and he just past Leith hill when there was a terrible incident and the air ambulance was called and the closed the road for a while ! It was just crazy up there  :-\
