I heard the interview with Gav replayed yesterday. Still very impressed. Great work to achieve such a feat and achieve one of your life goals.

Having seen Big Gav struggle up over the bridge @ KI a few times in a couple of faster B grade races in the past, the scope of what he has achieved on the ultimate KOM event has made him "Da Man!".   We did joke on our ride on Sunday that there might have been a few sherpas who might be one third of Gav's body mass, and some may have gone missing if he found the freeze dried stuff a bit tiresome on the tooth.
