Steve Warner, Greg Knowles, Chris Ross and I formed the Stewartry Wheelers team for 7/24 this year. We completed in 22 hours and 25 minutes, without any major incidents.

Special thanks to all control officers, especially to Dougie McFern who manned both Dalbeattie and Newcastleton.

Thanks to Castle Douglas Cycle Centre for their financial support.

Commiserations to Tony's Tigers, who had to drop out at Ae after two successive mechanicals made both their mountain bikes unusable. It was a great effort, guys, thanks for coming.
