My wife also kindly offered to make anything too. In the end I didn’t ask for anything. Spending 10.5 hours on the bike felt like a big enough ask 
She did make a wonderful potato curry for dinner and I made dosa 
WANT!!
All the best for tomorrow @John_B1 - may the wind be always at your back.
We’ll be waiting for you at the castle (I guess I can say that already whilst I wait for approval of my knighthood application?!)
I approve of this list*. 
*Not that I have any authority or power or say in any way and my words are essentially meaningless.
But still. That looks like brilliant suffering. You got this!
In my first quest my HR strap wouldn’t reconnect and I ended up with about 11 or 12 minutes in between videos 2 and 3. It made me worried that would invalidate my knighthood attempt, so I tried to ride an extra 2 at the end. However video 11 crashed halfway through and then my PC rebooted and decided that was the perfect time to do a Windows update. So, I ended up doing 10.5 videos.
GvA approved and I was still knighted, so you can definitely still be knighted if things go awry.
As penance I did an anniversary knighthood quest last year where I rode the full 11 videos (#11 being Cobbler). #MoreThanyYou This year I plan to do 12. But others have done 20 (double-knighthood) and other feats of insanity, so I in no way stake any claim on the most epic suffering. I only compete with myself / stick to my own flogging station. But mayyyybe I can plant that seed of an idea in someone else’s head for their own future feat of awesomeness.
I hope your knighthood is approved, soon! May GvA have mercy on your soul.
I am actually considering doing an anniversary quest next year. 
Perhaps it will be another 10 rides and not 11 and definitely not going to end with Defender.
Impressive. You may want to dial it down some more. Remember this is a marathon and you don’t want to dump all your energy in the first five miles.
Didn’t start great. Felt a bit rough yesterday and didn’t sleep well. I was sweating in the Violator warmup and had to double check halfway through that it was at 80% and not 100% intensity.
But the glucose coursing through my blood and the sights and sounds of SUF soon got my fight or whatever the other one is called response going, and I found my legs dancing to the music in Defender 
Edit: Angels kept me honest. I think I have one more in me at 80%
Great to hear your positive experience - thanks @emacdoug
I was perhaps a little paranoid about the 10 minute breaks and managed to not go over 8.5 mins with most of them around 6 - 6.5 as I didn’t know how strict the time limit really is
Reading the stories of incredible suffering from you and others of double knighthoods, 12 rides etc made me feel that a regular common or garden knighthood must be easy. The idea of a double, even the following day is 
I guess like anything you build up to it, dial down the intensity and get your head in the game.
Physically we are all capable of a lot more than our brains would have us believe. Plus it’s fun.
Crush it @John_B1!
Hey @John_B1 , it looks like you’ve crossed the ½ way threshold of #7 with Revolver. Fun times hey! Fuuuuun tiiiiiiimes. There is no turning back now. Go. GO. GOOOOOO!!!
Managed first 5 at 80%, and 6, 7 and 8 at 75%. Chamois feeling pretty shredded right now!
@John_B1 We will dance on it when you’ve reached the gates. But for now, you must SUFFER SUFFER SUFFER!!!
The 9th Hammer beat me on Monday at 100%, but not today at 70%!
I’m done
Well well well. Look here all ye who suffer, there be a new Knight amongst us. Congrats Sir @John_B1 Your seat at the table has been recently re-rusted enjoy
@John_B1 Congrats - well done. Now enjoy it and start thinking about recovery.
Awesome! Congratulations 
Enjoy the recovery
You gave him the comfy chair? Getting soft in your old age.
Don’t forget to go back and fill out the paperwork. Without it, your effort will not be noticed. Be aware that The Minions are smaller than in the past and they are quite busy with all of the issues we have raised with SYSTM.
