19/1/2025 Congratulations to Josh Murphy who completed a winter ride of HT550 in a time of 8:14:39
His ride started in snow and ice with temperatures of below -10 degrees but a rapid thaw meant very wet trail conditions from his third day onwards. Bike problems from day 2 slowed his progress but a replacement rear wheel in Ullapool allowed him to keep going to the finish. Despite spending 9 days on the trail, Josh never took any paid accommodation, showing remarkable will power to ride on into the night away from the warmth and comfort of hotels.
Josh's trip report on his website.

20/12/2021 Annie Le becomes the first person to ride HT550 in winter! Confirmed time 7:16:27
Congratulations Annie! A truly phenomenal performance.
I think Annie is also the only person to have ridden HT550 twice in one year.
