There's just over 9 hours to go until the challenge begins.

I'm going to keep this thread updated as each region sets off so we can keep track on the progress of the girls.

Below are the calculated times for each region.

Many thanks to Tuned In (Gary) who has volunteered to post the timings on Wed/Thurs while I'm away en route as support rider.

Good luck ladies :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap

Region 1 Tuesday 5th

We have just heard from the Hotel that some of the region 1 riders were in last night and it appears that they left on time (09:00) this morning. It looks like in all the excitement Andy forgot to make contact to say they were on their way.
