Great! Thank you for sharing your experience!

Another great video Mike, always good to have a "plan B" just incase.

Great video. Next time ride up Mountain straight so you have earned the descent. I only ever ride laps of it. I'm on a road bike and I'm 56 and 110kg , so it's doable. Best time to ride is the week before the race. The road is closed to cars but not bikes. No police, 85 kmh on Conrod 😊

Thanks for sharing ,what's the bag you are using on your Surly Moloko bar ?

[@mike-coles]

That is the Dr Jones bag from Rockgeist. I’m pretty happy with it. I like the map pocket on top and webbing on the front for extra gear. But, be aware, it’s not waterproof (but nothing is waterproof in that much rain!) rockgeist.com/product/jones-bag/

@@mike-coles Thanks , I discovered this when doing LEJOG in torrential rain & 40mph winds ,I undid a pocket that my phone was in & water just fell out .Ortlieb was the one bag that did hold up though .

Great video Rob, it's good you could be flexible. Did you cycle back up to your car after getting to the bottom?

[@mike-coles]

On Mount Panorama we cycled individually with the other following in our car, just in case there was an issue/accident the support vehicle was only ever a few seconds away.
