I've added a few new enhancements to the OYTT visualizer at http://gicentre.org/oytt

• Kajsa's and Bruce's progress can now be plotted.
• Billie Dovey's (Flemming) progress through the year can now also be plotted.
• Rather than only scale progress relative to Tommy Godwin's total, you can now choose between five different targets ranging from Billie Dovey's 81 mpd right up to an ambitious 80,000 miles (219 mpd). These are selectable from the bottom row of buttons. The 'Kurt Searvogel' button will scale to whatever his current total is until his final WR total on January 9th is confirmed.

Here's an example showing Kajsa's progress so far in comparison to the 'Dovey line':

Am I missing something obvious or isn't the trip back from oz going to adversely affect Bruces attempt in more ways than one?

I was thinking that when I was riding home tonight from work!

Bruce is doing the OYTT under UMCA rules, not Guinness.

I do believe though that Kajsa was planning to move on to the continent at some point in the year, so perhaps Guinness waive the rule for travel across water (which would make sense for round the world records).

OT, Jo your graphs are superb, thank you for the work you've been and continue to put into them!!

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?

Pedallo?

 

[Dogtrousers]

Pedallo?

Yeah, but if he had a kip, and woke up and found that he'd drifted from his previous position, he'd have to pedal around until he got back there! So he'd need a Pedalo with a gurt big anchor.

Where did you get this from, Jo? There's no information I can see on the UMCA HAM'R page about it... It makes sense, though, because I know that Bruce is a sociable rider and is intending to ride with West London/Surrey/Hants/Berks/Bucks-based riders when he returns to the UK. And it obviates the requirement for a pedalo, as Saluki suggests!

Dave Barter (Author of 'The Year'), who is involved in validating the UMCA data, reported so in the other place: https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=93962.msg1966703#msg1966703
