Tim wins Twentyfour12 12 Hour Solo

The dark clouds that gathered mid afternoon only resulted in a few light showers and by evening the clouds cleared and we were treated to a beautiful sunset. With lights fitted I headed on into the darkness. I say darkness, but our Exposure lights are so bright I barely needed to slow down!
 
As the end loomed I was close to lapping second place rider Ajay Pandit a multiple winner of the Yak Attack race, who reportedly weighs less than 50kg. I caught him at the bottom of the climb, which was unfortunate as I weigh a little more! Perhaps Ajay was under team orders not to let me past as on seeing me he sped up the climb as if we were just starting a cross country race! I decided against chasing and rolled round the last lap enjoying the sweet sections of singletrack.

 
In the end I managed 20 laps, around 140 miles so a good ride. The event was brilliantly organised as usual, in an amazing setting and if you haven't been make sure it's on your list for next year. Big thanks to my teammate Ben for looking after me and for all the encouragement. Finally, a big thanks to all our sponsors for there continued generous support.
