Day 146: Miles' respiratory problems take a turn for the worse – diagnosed at hospital with a partially collapsed lung. He still managed 32 miles though. Kurt continues his now usual trip up and down the Arkansas river trail (202 miles). Steve does a 151 mile multi-Gibbon day.

Does anyone know whether the moped rider who hit Steve was prosecuted? (Apologies if I missed anything on that up thread).

Fantastic effort from Steve putting the big miles in again now.

I'm intrigued by that last sentence and I await to see what it is

Steve's world record challenge was recently covered in the MK News. On a different (but related) note, we'd like to try something new. We have had a number of requests for a Q & A update with Steve, so we thought we would sound out his followers on Facebook to see what they would like to ask Steve.

To participate in this process, please simply pose the ONE QUESTION you'd most like to ask Steve about his world record challenge. You can do so BY COMMENTING ON THIS POST. If you see someone else has already asked the question you want to ask please simply 'like' their comment (rather than repeat the question) so that we can easily see which questions are the most popular.

We'll then work through the most popular questions with Steve (in his spare time - so please be patient) and we'll feed back with his responses when we have them. Thanks in advance to those who respond to this prompt.

One question, ooooo, what to ask!!??!!

Interesting project! Funny that so many of the questions posted so far have been answered by Steve himself already in interviews -- all available on his website, his FB page, here and on YACF.

Yes I noticed that, I was thinking about asking where he stood on the helmet debate.

Or maybe if he thought he could take Kurt in a fist fight, not sure if he's been asked that yet.

It's interesting that 'Mr Abraham collided with a moped'.
How remiss. Hope the driver isn't going to sue.

Red sauce, brown sauce or no sauce at all?

OT but Boris Johnson asked for questions for a mayoral internet Q&A. Many silly questions were submitted but the one that tickled me was: "What is the largest animal you think you could single-handedly clingfilm to a lamppost?"

Day 147: No riding for Miles as he is treated for his collapsed lung. Kurt increases his daily distance to 250 miles along his usual route. Steve does a 216 mile loop to the fens similar to that before the collision.

Kurt seems to have just about recovered the miles lost to his flu bug a few weeks ago, and looks like he's slowly turning the screw. Best wishes to Miles, I hope it's just a needle reinflation required rather than having to drain the lung. Considering how far he managed to ride on one lung before being diagnosed it just shows how tough these guys are. As for Steve, I'm extremely excited to see that curve flattening out and 216 miles while still on the mend is brilliant.

Looks like there's still a lot to play for for all three of them
