Anyone know where Steve was when police stopped him for riding on an A road?
I know he was in Cardiff around that time and the police have stopped people before cycling on the A48 going East from Cardiff. Admittedly it really is a motorway in all but name but he had every right to ride there.

Day 344 / 125: More Flatwood loops for Kurt adding another 226 miles to his total. This leaves him with a minimum of 'only' 177 mpd required to match Godwin's record. Steve continues to recover from his change in diet regime, now being able to ride for 100 miles before stopping for food. His East Anglian loops give him 204 miles for the 24 hours suggesting he is capable of halting the recent decline from Godwin's pace.

Day 345 / 126: Kurt leaves the Flatwood loops for a day, heading through Withlacoochee and then back southward towards Tampa. His 210 miles takes him within a day of the 70,000 milestone. Steve does a Cambridgeshire loop and a relatively early finish for 170 miles. He is currently around 1,100 miles below the Godwin line on his reboot and 10,500 miles down for his 2015 attempt.

One or two in the other place think Steve is already too far behind Godwin schedule for the second attempt to succeed.
Seems a bit early to say that, although Kurt could well put another fly in Steve's ointment by increasing the record by 1,000 miles or so.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
That's very negative. He's still within his original estimated schedule, and is well ahead of where Godwin was at the equivalent stage of his successful attempt.
FWIW, I wouldn't be surprised to see Tarzan break Godwin's record by a small amount rather than a lot - he doesn't give the impression of someone who's having a whale of a time doing it, or of someone who will be motivated by carrying on one's his goal is secure.

1200 miles behind mean he needs a solid month of hitting 240-250 mile days, so not impossible once we get to the better weather and longer nights, a couple of months if Kurt pushes the record out further.
steve can't afford too many days significantly below 200 though, and we still have the worst of winter ahead of us.

Day 346 / 127: Kurt flies though the 70,000 mile mark as he returns to doing Flatwood Park loops with plenty of supporters helping him complete 222 miles for the day. Steve first heads SW to Oxfordshire before reversing to ride with the wind. Plans for a long day are cut short by stomach problems at Thetford Forest, nevertheless he manages 199 miles by midnight.

Steve slept on a church porch on Saturday night (an unscheduled pitstop due to a stomach bug). Thankfully, he's back on the road now - and getting on with things...
