| Surely your problem is that you didn't stay on 2 wheels. |

Madness, it's Pike's Peak in reverse.
I assume, as a new dad you are not 100% serious. |

Well, I don't think I'll be anywhere near the front (new baby or not). I'm aiming to get to the bottom with nothing broken on me or the bike. As it'll take somewhere in the region of one and a half hours to complete, that may be more difficult than it sounds..... |

Sorry, I saw the vid and just assumed you were having a joke, though many years BMX will put you in good sted for this I'm sure. Chapeau. |

| Your forearms will kill from brake use but otherwise you'll be fine. |

Sadly, no head cam I'm afraid, but here's one from a previous race for your entertainment.

Where's the road!?!?!?
Respect Adrian!
Enjoy your ride!  |
