11 hours and 43 mins. Blisteringly quick, massive congrats. Training 30-40km on average and then ramping up to 80km, each week for 8 months is a huge effort and dedication. Very well deserved, well done. Very inspiring and motivating!!!

Actually every 30 mins after the initial free 30 minute period and It's just a flat 300pound fee if you don't return it 24 hours. So at that point you can pretty much keep it.
