Huge respect for filming this - hope the camera wasn't too heavy otherwise you'll have considered discarding it many times during the event, depending on how delerious you became !
I'm riding this for the first time in 2010. I've been given loads of advice, and read reports, but this video offers the best advice I've seen, so thanks !
All audio removed due to complaint from WMG (Warner Music Group) about using their music. Sorry everyone. I thought it was a good introduction to the band New Order and so it's a case of WMG cutting off their nose to spite their face.
If you think it's bad of them, don't buy WMG music.
How did I get on? Well, I was quite happy with those first few miles. But when the video cuts away from the lower slopes I had a puncture and dropped back to dead last. Made my way up to 138th at the finish. Good fun.
I turned off the cam to save juice/memory, planning to turn back on for descents. Then I somehow got out of sync and ended up filming the ground as I walked up the hills and turning off for the descents.

The other 2 peaks didn't work out. Sorry.

Excellent video - other two peaks to follow? Or did you or the camera run out of juice?
