According to facepants, Guinness has now acknowledged Kurt.as having cycled the greatest distance in a year.

It's rather sad really. I can't say that I am absolutely surprised though, what with broken leg, restart, diet issues, stomach problems etc.
I hope Steve tries again, maybe somewhere where he can ride on flatter terrain, have a camper van or similar nearby too.

I guess there's a new record title? The Godwin one was a calender year, would be strange if they have replaced him with Kurt whilst still under that title.

What I was getting at is supposedly when Tommy finished his 500 day 100,000 mile record he had a 365 day period in it that was further than Kurts record.

Not enough for Guinness to ratify it. There are too many question marks over Godwins mileage. Kurts was fully ratified with modern equipment.

I think HAMR knew about it but wouldn't recognise it.
