Ben Amesbury, so close

Ben Amesbury – 25h 55m on the 30th July 2011. Despite laying long-term plans for the ride, Ben was unlucky enough to have no fewer than 7 punctures in the first 70 miles. Many riders would have abandoned at that point, but Ben kept going and finally completed the ride in 25 hours 55 minutes. A fantastic effort – and no doubt Ben will keep on thinking about the magic 24 hours!
