Can he not keep his options open? He could restart when he's on form and his ankle is almost recovered - if he has the funding for an extra couple of months - and if HAM'R are ok about it.

That is what I would do, but I struggle to ride 50 miles, so what would I know.
That sounds very doable

[QUOTE 3701930, member: 9609"]From what I have read HAM'R seem to insist on being given a start date, and I believe Steve was going to set another start date for June and then have two attempts running concurrently. Why that is the case is beyond me, if you are uploading the data every day then surely you could go on indefinitely and choose the highest 365 day running total.[/QUOTE]
I think that makes charging for it a lot harder.

[QUOTE 3701963, member: 9609"]Could charge by extending the timescale by another few months - and surely if you are on the quickest 100,000 miler challenge, then why not except the best 365 day for the HAM'R.[/QUOTE]
Why not indeed. Provided Steve's paid his bucks to cover HAM'R's costs over the period, HAM'R allows a ride to be begun on any day of the year. Choosing the best 365 does have a slight feeling of creaming it but, after all, they're still miles ridden on consecutive days. If the data are clean, then whether HAM'R accept it or not, because Steve will have done those miles in 365 days, and it matters little whether it's official for HAM'R because we'll all (on this side of the pond...) still credit Steve for the achievement.

Steve has just posted yesterday's rides (in two parts) just shy of a 'Godwin' at 205 miles.
Go Steve!

Day 139: As the end of May approaches and Kurt, Steve and Miles clock up 228, 205 and 140 miles respectively, we begin the most challenging period of the OYTT. The first of the previous records, starting with Billie Fleming's 1938 total of 29,604 miles beckons for Kurt. Tommy was beginning to increase his daily milage beyond his average of 206 miles per day. Something Steve will have to do too if he is to have chance beating Tommy in 2015. Days will get longer, sleep will become rarer.
