205 miles in a day (Tommy Godwin Challenge) - the Progress thread

Heat map of Steve's rides to date. (Thanks to Jo at the other place)

 

[ianrauk]

Thanks Jo once again for these stats.

Some comparative statistics from the National Travel Survey*:

Steve overtook the average annual distance cycled by all adults at 4am, 1st January (49 miles).

Steve overtook the average annual distance travelled by car as either driver or passenger on 28th January(5,070 miles).

Steve will probably overtake the average annual distance travelled by all modes, including walking, driving, domestic flight, cycling and public transport, on Thursday 5th February(6,584 miles).

If he hits his target by the end of the year, Steve will have cycled further than the average adult travels in around 12 years.

Today's ride just posted. 188 of what must have been very tough windy and hilly miles

So Steve's around 20% up on Tommy after a Winter month, WOW! I can't wait until Spring and then Summer to see what this guy can really do!

A fascinating couple of pics from Jo over at the other place.
Steve's and Kurt's heatmaps in relative scale (Just goes to show how big the USA is)

And the results are in from the Teethgrinder jury... a fantastic 186.7 of your Imperial miles.

Well, you've got to feel for the man.

Diddums. It would be interesting if, say, the two riders could 'swap' riding conditions for one week. Statistically there might be a 'blip' in both their packets of data...climate,temperature, HRM, ascent, calories etc. Has Steve produced any cheerful videos yet?

 

[Mugshot]

Haven't seen any videos for Steve, I expect the camera is frozen. He looks pretty chipper in this photo though.

 

[ianrauk]

Damn it's nasty out there.
Looking at Steve's tracker, seem's he's heading for Leamington Spa.
Any peeps on here in the area can give a weather report?

Birmingham is sunny and dry, but rather cold. Not bad riding weather, tbh.

Poor Kurt. Must be horrible being wet in florida. I'm sure that he'd rather be in the blooming freezing, snowy conditions that the wind is blowing horizontally here. Might be easier for him.
Been a grotty day out. Steve has been on our mind a fair bit.

 

[ianrauk]

182 miles for the day. Once again, very cold conditions and a fair bit of climbing.

Yesterdays Kurt vid.

Yup in teh rules. Along with both rider and crew chief having to stay sober for the whole 12 months (Even if Hoppo is at home 100s of miles away from Steve).
