Lionel did appreciate the Peterborough Cheer Squad. Here's his comment on FarRiders:
"Thanks for the great support guys.
I even had a couple of well wishes from the OzSTOC forum waiting in the cold 8 degrees at night in Peterborough cheering me on; although I didn't know who they were at the time or I would have stopped.
I was after a SS5000K in under 72 hours."
