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

An awful lot of today's riding was into a 3/4 headwind too!

Kurts has a peeling spuds feel while Steve gets to act a chef, that end of day chefs drink sometimes needed too.

Anyway, two records to be hopefully celebrated, both an achievement in their own right.

Indeed, the black line is a notional rider who rides 205 miles for each of the 365 days.

With thanks, again, to Jo, this year long graph shows how Steve's projected distances increase, and how his daily average will go above 205 miles somewhere between day 121 and about day 170.

It also shows how Steve is aiming to beat Tommy's record by up to 12,000 miles.

Or by a minimum of the late 7k's and also how he is above his estimated best at the moment.

Of course, those who are whinging about the graphs could always produce their own if they wanted...

That would be too much hard graphed. Besides, everyone waits for Ian to explain it all in black blue & white. N ograph should have a why axis.

197 wibbly wobbly miles for the Red Road Warrior today. Thought he would go for the 200....

GO STEVE

Steve made a 3am start this morning, perhaps it's one of those 'moves' he mentioned a few weeks ago.

He needs to do something, Kurt has turned up the wick and is regularly doing 210+ miles a day.

If Steve is now into full audax mode, we could see him riding for 20 hours or more in a day, kipping in bus shelters or beside the road.

His schedule indicates an increase in mileage this month.

Game on, I think.

Looks like it could be a special day, he's on 70miles already.

Farkin' 'ell! I was up early myself, but not on the road at 3am! Chapeau to the Man in Red.

I'm down to do a 100km audax on Saturday, the longest ride I'll have done this year. Steve knocked that off before I'd even made it out of the shower this morning!

Go Steve! Hoping today is a big one. It's probably the best weather he's had so far

 

[Pale Rider]

Seems the early start has confused the tracker.

It has him starting south west of Buckingham, but I'm fairly certain he spent last night at home in Milton Keynes.

No doubt the team will be on to it, if that's the case.

GO STEVE!!!

Astonishing isn't it, I saw @Pale Rider s post this morning whilst still in bed at 6am, checked the tracker and Steve was on around 45 miles. I did 17 miles in this morning rather than the usual 13/14 as I was feeling guilty.

Game on indeed... we've been waiting for this.

If this is to be the monster we're expecting (83 miles at 9.30am!!!!) I would be willing to pay money to see Kurts face when he checks the tracker as he hauls himself out of bed
