Pete Grant and Phil Hodge Make the Most of Bad Weather!

Pete Grant and Phil Hodge - I'm not sure who is holding up who here!

Not content to allow those who completed on 12 July 2014 to bask in their glory, Pete Grant and Phil Hodge ROARED round the Mourne 500 challenge on 14 July 2014 in horrendous weather conditions in only 14 hours and 17 minutes.

Report and photos to follow, hopefully!

This impressive time set by Pete and Phil is the first serious contender to the whirlwind time set by current champion Billy Reed in July 2011, and is particularly worthy given the poor conditions.

Given the recent interest in the Mourne 500 as a warm-up to the Rankin Round, surely only a fool would bet on Billy staying champion for another year!  Who's next?!
