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

[Mugshot]

I wonder if the UMCA will get all arsey with Kurt as they did when Steve was pictured with a bottle of wine in the background?

And another crash.

Some people don't know that HAM'R has its own set of rules that are different from State Record rules and were trying to stir up the pot because I had a beer with lunch. Do you honestly think I would have entered this competition if I didn't have documentation stating that all legal substance (beer) can be consumed during this year.

There's been a bit of a ding dong overnight between Kurt and Drew Clark regarding Kurt having a beer.

The rules do seem a bit harsh. Not to let the riders have a drink. But the rules are the rules I suppose. They gave Steve a hard time when he was pictured with a bottle of unopened wine in the background, so at least they are being consistent.

Yes the rules are the rules, although I agree with you and posted yesterday that I think if anyone deserves a bottle a beer it's Kurt and Steve. I don't quite understand why Kurt is arguing, I thought it was quite clear when I read through the rules yesterday that alcohol wasn't allowed. He'd have been better off keeping his trap shut and not having his picture taken with his beer in front of him. Hopefully the UMCA treat it as a shot across the bows rather than imposing penalties.

Day 41, Kurt feeling under the weather.

I hope Kurt doesnt get disqualified over this beer nonsense. I dont imagine anyone including Teethgrinder would want that.

He could drink himself stupid in the privacy of his motorhome why on earth make a public protest like this?

i tend to think the court of public (ie cyclist) opinion will judge the validity quite happily, regardless of what the powers that be might say

Day 41, Kurt feeling under the weather.

Looking at the length of that bridge and the angle of the palm trees in the wind, I don't blame him for not wanting to ride over it. Bridges are horrible in the wind.

I just watched it on the other channel!

So after yesterday's shorter ride from Steve. He ramps it back up into the 200's for todays.

 

[ianrauk]

Another tough day for Kurt yesterday. Another off and his cold seem to be taking it's toll with only 157 miles. But look at the average - awesome stuff still.

Thanks, Ian. Just glancing, I find that map weird...cycling on the water! The 'Kurt Sea'...
Is he suffering from 'withdrawal symptoms' as the beer ban kicks in? Poor fellow keeps collecting the rash as well...that's not comfortable, as we know.

I am SICK of cycle cammers, all they do is go out looking for stuff they can post on youtube, they give all cyclists a bad name
