Oh ... that really IS sad. What a terrible end to an amazing year!
I only popped in here to mention a short interview with Kurt in Cycling Weekly yesterday. He was very blunt about the weather question ...
KS: "If I'd had to do it in England, I wouldn't have broken the record, there's no way in hell I'd be riding in the cold. I know that will make Tommy's fans happy!"
CW: Does Steve Abraham, who is currently challenging the record in the UK, have a chance? "If he doesn't get out of England, no. If he'd had a different plan for the winter, he'd have definitely had a chance."

This could be interesting, nowt on his twitter yet but he has uploaded a ride for the 17th to Strava
There has been a concern about drafting. I wonder if this is the issue.

There's some speculation on yacf as to the reason but nothing concrete yet. Apparently Bruce has put on his Facebook that it is an admin error, according to Chris Hopkinson (Stevens crew chief) he's received notification from UMCA that Bruce is done. Someone on yacf has suggested it is because he didn't have a live tracker, I dunno, but I'm sure we'll find out soon.

It looks like Friday on his main page, but if you go into the ride it is dated Thursday?

Oh aye, my apologies. I wonder if it's one of those midnight cross over things, but yes, 5 rides posted for the week so far!

Days like this along with my total lack of ability would kill any chance of me cycling 200+ miles every day for a year

I don't think anybody that has seen your exploits would agree with that!!
However, I do agree that getting up to that certainly doesn't put me in the mood for riding 200 miles.
