  1. Shout out to Danni Coffman, the final rider of this year's #HT550 group start still riding, with now not much more than The Devil's Staircase between her and the finish line having been out there for ~9 days and finishing a day and half behind the previous finisher. 💪🏼️ #Chapeau #Bikepacking #MTB #cycling

  2. My mates have had a right mixed time in their #HT550 attempts but this is just the best. (Rookie) Ruby rolling in for a third place, sub-5 day finish. #bikepacking #gravel #mtb #cycling

  7. Kerry is strong, and she was very clear before that she wants the female FKT. (~3d 21h)
    She has 12h on that and 140k to go. Not sure if this is possible with the conditions and her exhaustion level. More likely maybe that she'll get second place over all.

  12. Ruby, the woman on a gravel bike, is in 12th place right now, after ~500k (3rd woman - faster than Hannah Simon). 😮

  27. Justinas always entertaining "I have found out about the mandatory kit, so I had to add the speed pack on the rear, also removed the downtube bag. So it will be R&D custom top tube bag + custom frame bag."
    and
    "well, if it will not rain, I want my money back."

  28. @pete Oh, so Ruby really is going to do that on a gravel bike. Mad respect.

    Still rooting for Nicolette, she has DIY bags similarly coloured to mine. 😀 Also pretty lightweight setup.

    So I guess both are either going to be really fast, or fail spectacularly.

  29. Für alle euch #dotwatching Enthusiasten gleich gehts wieder los mit dem #HT550
    Wie ich sehe ist Justinas Leveika auch dabei.

  30. Kerry MacPhee seems to be hot to get the female record. But there's at least 3 other experienced women with good chances. It's going to be interesting to watch.
    With the men it's mainly Justinas. (Or do I miss someone?)

  31. Intensive social media study shows: Everyone is very excited about Berlin-Usedom-Berlin (BUB) or Highland Trail (HT550). Anyone here taking on one of these challenges? #BikeTooter #fahrradbubble #bikepacking #ultracycling #steppenwolf #HT550

  32. I’m being sensible with my tapering for #HT550 which goes off this Saturday and so, despite it being a glorious evening, stuck to my plan to do barely half of the planned ride and turned for home after an hour. #gravel #cycling

  33. @pete Best of luck and good times to you this year! Looks great.

    Did the HT550 take place earlier in the year a few years ago? I remember riding the #NC500 and running into people riding the #HT550 somewhere on the west coast; Ullapool and surroundings perhaps? But that was in June, not November.
    The HT550's route, is that open all year long? Are these public trails, regardless of the event? Sounds awesome, but wouldn't mind spending a little longer doing something like this.

  34. Well it looks like my number came up again!
    Gonna try real hard not to faceplant three weeks prior this time round: cycling.hypertelia.com/highlan

  35. Perhaps unsurprisingly, I didn't get a spot in the 2024 #HT550 group start this time round: Apparently there were 160 applications for 35 places. Given those odds which aren't likely to change in future years, I think* I may ride it as an ITT instead. #bikepacking #mtb

    * don't take this post as a commitment just yet!

  36. Lee Craigie’s ‘Other Ways to Win’ is currently the No. 1 #cycling book on AMZ UK, but buy it somewhere else, yeah? I can thoroughly #recommend it! #mtb #ht550 #tourDivide #proCycling adventurebooks.com/collections

  37. Spent a couple of days riding easy trails at #partyPace to get back to the #HT550 start point at Tyndrum from Fort Augustus: The Great Glen Way and then West Highland Way (avoiding Devil's Staircase). The few rough spots I hit vindicated my decision to scratch: no strength in my shoulder and hurting like hell when needing to use it. #cycling #bikepacking

  38. A recovery update: Not quite back on solid foods yet and doing physio for a niggly rotator cuff strain but I'm pretty confident that #HT550 is still on. I've eased up on the painkillers, and ridden ~85km on the turbo without issue.
    And I won't share, but I reckon a snap of my mouth is 'better' than any of the results for an image search for 'tongue trauma'. #cycling #bikepacking

  39. So, only three weeks to go until #ht550 and I had a big off last night. Body bruised but hopefully ok, yet face (and tongue) is a mess of stitches and swelling. Spent the night in ED then morning in Max Fax. Knackered and thoroughly pissed off. #cycling
