Another cyclist has thrown his hat into the ring.

Bother - I was thinking of entering. If I dug down hard I reckoned I could take bronze

Miles Smith down in the land of Aus. Info
Starting on April 11th

That's a TinyMilesNewt to Marcus I think...

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

His name has miles written all over it. That should give him a good start.

Steve showing less than a ton on the tracker at the mo, isn't he further along than that normally? Did he have a late start or has he had a problem?

 

[Mugshot]

Just checked elsewhere and apparently he was under way by 5:20 am

Stolen from the other site, don't know if it's officially verified, but check out the big ring on the fellas bike.

Yeah, apparently Miles' bike was snapped by a fellow Aussie audaxer and the pic is circulating on Twitter. No one has said whether that's Miles' only bike and/or if it will feature as part of his HAM'R attempt but whoever's running the Audax Australia Twitter account says Miles' nickname is "Big Ring".... which may or may not refer to a bike part. Apparently!

Well assuming it does refer to the bike part, the nick name certainly fits.
It may fit if it doesn't refer to bike parts but lets not go into that.

142 miles for Steve, much shorter day mileage wise with an early finish. Can't post the details as I'm on the tablet but I'm sure someone will soon.

 

[Mugshot]

I wonder if we're going to see something off the charts tomorrow, maybe an early finish means a mega early start tomorrow.

It will have to be 268 just to keep him on the 205 average over the two days.

Two thoughts:
1. This is Teethgrinder we are talking about.
2. His schedule does not call for 205 miles a day.

 

[Bazzer]

Bike or other problems as he looks to be back home?

 

[BigAl68]

He obviously needed an easier day and I am sure it is all in the grand plan. Get a good night's rest Steve...
