Reqest to mods.
Can you pin this thread underneath the progress thread on the main page because it seems to have got lost and is difficult to find now for any new posters.

Thanks, Ian /Marcus for elucidation. H(Stev)e would have been chilled today - that wind...brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

He passed through Kings Somborne/Romsey near me this morning. We went along the same roads about 10am into a freezing cold wind.. I was very happy with a 58k spin (longest of year)....well done Steve

Makes my target of 7000 miles seem feeble. All relative I suppose

Except that this one is quite rightly in the Café, while the other is also where it belongs - in road rides, audax and sportives.

It could still be a sticky though.

Same could be said of numerous threads though. Why this one in particular?

because this thread is designed to take the the nattering nabobs of negativity away from the other thread, which is difficult if you can't find it or don't even know it exists.

the nattering nabobs of negativity

(edit: @MickeyBlueEyes was not negative but I am. apologise for the confusion)
and speaking of negativity ....

So Steve's around 20% up on Tommy after a Winter month, WOW! I can't wait until Spring and then Summer to see what this guy can really do!

I think it's hard to say how well he's doing at the moment, relative to tommy. He's got so much better lights, clothing and - most importantly - information compared to what tommy had, that it could explain the 20%.

I think he will continue the way he has started, but we just don't have enough information to know.

Wonder if he'll get just past Tommy's total and then take the rest of the year off or whether he'll drive himself on to 31st Dec to his personal maximum.

Except new posters cannot find this tread in the first place so they post non progress related stuff on the pinned thread which the mods have to move here anyway.

I can't understand why Steve isn't going out to the flatlands of Lincolnshire and Norfolk any ideas anyone?

 

[tommaguzzi]

I go out to Cleethorpes in summer

You can really get hit by the winds as there is nowhere to hide from them.
