Sounds like a planYou know what! I'll join you in that challenge. One day next summer (obviously not the same day), I'll give it a go.
There, it's in black and white now.

Ah, is that the reason, thought maybe you weren't model material like the cover star

Day 218: Kurt sticks to inland Wisconsin for another 212 miles passing 75,065km. Now he just has to do the same in miles. With just one more ride before his reboot, Steve does a 132 mile loop of Cambridgeshire and approaches Arthur Humbles' 1932 record. Miles heads east to Sale for a 149 mile day.

The other bloke looks like he's struggling.
Unlike our Ian, who can chalk off 300km no bother.
The other bloke, (Trickdem) did LEL, WindsorChesterWindor and is doing PBP.. I can only dream of doing those type of rides.
. But must admit, that 300 was a fairly easy ride. Only one really nasty, long hill, Capel Le Ferne.... where the pic was taken.

This morning when Steve hit the road it was pretty much the same as any other day this year - but his new Highest Annual Mileage Cycling Record attempt has started today. We all wish him well for the next 365 days of riding!!!

Day 219: On the final day before his reboot, Steve does another Cambridgeshire loop via St Ives for a 122 mile total. Kurt battles with Wisconsin storms (and loses) giving him a slightly shorter than usual 170 miles. This places him just shy of Ossie Nicholson's 1933 record. Miles heads out east again for 159 miles.

Steve's 135 miles in and if he is going home tonight then he should be on for 200+ miles.

Day 220 / 1: Steve reboots his attempt with a tidy 217 fenland loop via Spalding and King's Lynn. The OYTT chart now shows both his attempts - a thicker red line for the reboot, thinner one for the 2015 attempt. The table at the bottom of the page also shows progress of both concurrent attempts.
Kurt heads south from Manitowoc for 231 miles, passing Ossie Nicholson's 1933 record of 43,966 miles. Miles returns to doing a bay trip, this time for 129 miles.
Returning to day one for all challengers, Steve set off later but rode faster than his January 1st ride, but not yet matching Kurt's speed or Tommy's day one distance. But it's a good start, being 11 miles up on the required average distance per day.
