Maximum respect to both riders. Most people on the planet would need a flat road and a back wind to do just one day at their average distance.
An incredible achievement, stick at it Steve.

He did it. What a day we have had. So many people to thank and pictures/videos to share. I'm sure those who were with us will be posting, and we will be sleeping to ride out the rest of the week. The biggest surprise tonight I must mention came from across the pond. YACF, we were very touched. Thank you.

Which is actually what Kurt did. He was smart and followed the weather and the winds and picked the flattest courses.

Day 360 / 150 / 4: After 360 days of hard toiling, Kurt takes the new world record for the furthest ridden in a year. His 190 day of Flatwood loops takes his total to 75,113 miles with five more days of riding left to lengthen the record.
In other news, Steve loops around the flatlands of east Yorkshire avoiding the worst of the floods to the north and rain to the south. His 181 mile day sees him around 2,240 below the Godwin line approximately midway between Tommy's average pace and his actual pace by day 150. Bruce continues to push out fast and hilly miles around Adelaide, this time accumulating another 210 miles. Kajsa has a longer day making up for the previous day's shortfall then riding her planned route, in all giving her 104 miles and 77 above the Dovey line.

Steve Abraham is behind bars today - testing the cycling track on a windless day, to see how it compares to the road...
Are we about to see a change in tactics?

Kurt has broken the record. No question, a monumental accomplishment! This is what we set out to do.
Now, his goal is to keep his average at 208 per day.
So now we know the target.

Day 361 / 151 / 5: Kurt celebrates his record breaking achievement by "only" riding 168 miles around Flatwood. He is currently pushing the world record to 75,290 miles with four days to go. Steve rides back south from his stay in East Yorkshire clocking up 195 miles. Kajsa rides from Newark towards Peterborough but a puncture and dark winter weather keeps her distance to exactly one 'Dovey' (81 miles). Bruce takes a break from the hills and sticks to repeats along the coast around Adelaide 218 miles taking him to 32 miles above the Godwin line in only 5 days.

Day 362 / 152 / 6: After a couple of farewell laps of Flatwoods Park, Kurt heads south ending his day in Naples and with another 166 miles added to the record (now standing at 75,446 miles). Steve spends the day riding round and round and round and round the Milton Keynes Bowl for 157 miles. Kajsa also rides a loop, but just the one, circumnavigating Peterborough for 94 miles. Bruce does another 212 miles with a couple of large climbs and plenty of headwind.

I know it is early in his attempt but if Bruce keeps going as he is then he is going to smash the record.

Agreed, Bruce seems to have started well, though there is a very, very long way to go. I believe that he's doing his attempt under the purview of Guinness (like Kajsa Tylen) rather than UMCA, which means that he'd not be allowed to draft and that he'd have to begin each ride wherever he left off the previous one. This poses a problem for when he wants to come back to the UK, surely?

Or, on the other side of the coin, he might burn out completely. Very early days. Good luck Bruce!
