[QUOTE 3710048, member: 9609"]Is Steve on with the flatlands 600 this weekend ? (is the 600 bit KMs or Miles ?) It looks like he has today cycled up to Goole has turned around and is now heading south with 210miles on the clock so far and still pedalling, impressive stuff from someone who broke his ankle 8 weeks ago.[/QUOTE]
Impressive indeed.
yes I think he is doing, or at least attempting the 600.
He is already 212 miles in according to the tracker.
Kurt, the guy is a machine - simple as that, I was waiting for his daily mileage to fall due to burn out, but he just keeps on going and knocking out the mega mileage.
Miles. Looks like he's been bitten hard by the bad chest bug He's falling behind quite rapidly. Quite early on in his challenge.

Cracking a solo.
Kurt really is a remarkable athlete, what a pity we didn't get to see him and Steve continue as they started, it would have been fascinating seeing the reactions to the others tactics.

Why doesn't William drop out? Even I am only about 300 miles behind him now.Day 144: Steve rides a further 154 miles back to Dunmow to complete the weekend's audax – the two day total of 423 miles. Kurt does another 210 miles of the Arkansas river and Miles manages 119 miles of the bay. William nowhere to be seen.

There are quite a few doing much better who should have signed up to say they attempted the record at least.

We have an unfortunate update on Miles' health. Miles has continued to be unwell and was diagnosed at hospital today with a partially collapsed lung. We will keep you updated on his progress and when he will be allowed back on the bike. Miles is certainly in good spirits and eager to get going again, so his supporters will be taking turns to sit on him to keep him down! Get well soon Miles.

Swift recovery to Miles. We are really seeing how stupidly hard this challenge actualy is. Superhuman efforts being shown every day by all involved, with some really impressive efforts by Steve this weekend so soon after his nasty accident.
