Re: My tube Attempt
Neil,
I heard that you had been in contact with Andi regarding the attempt before it was made. Did he not clarify with you what the challenge actually entailed? It's an unfortunate error that would add hours onto the time! Frequency on LOROL is horrendous at times.
Better Luck next time and welcome to the forum!!

Re: My tube Attempt
I make "schoolboy" mistakes on every challenge, including 2 on the Z1 last Friday and I have competed in dozens
Anyway a warm welcome to the forum and if you fancy any "Alternative" challenges there is a regular R15 championship and other events...

Re: My tube Attempt
When all is said and done though, I reckon that 21 hours whilst including the London Overground network is quite a time, and that with a little polishing you should end up with quite a competitive time!
