I gave you a clue with his initials. He was the 26th President of the US. No using Google or Bing, Crankers.

Turbo Rider...course I can't remember saying it...soooo...I'll plump for Theo Rose....because I can't spell his name without a search engine...

Well he's just passed the 1000 miles mark today.

In 2013/2014 we took 13 months to ride 2000 miles. I think we got up to 1000 after about 5 months. 1000 miles inside 6 days - in January - is some going. Let's hope that we don't get a snowy March.

As does cycling 200+ miles every day for a year, no matter where. All for some obscure record that will mean nothing outside cycling circles.

Indeed. Which is why Channel 4 news, BBC news and CNN have all interviewed him.

You use a lunar calendar?

No - we just didn't think we'd manage 2000 miles in 12 months. And we were right.

 

[Soltydog]

Good luck to the guy & I hope he does it. He's like many of us on here, wanting to increase on last years mileage Having never met the guy, just read about him online I honestly believe he's a nutter, but in a nice way
