Cracking a solo.
Extended the commute home last night as is the norm, but a way I don't do very often. Checked my strava when I got back and found I had some PBs, had a look to see how I was stacking up against the people I follow (all 10 of them, and only 3 live round here) and found that Mr Steve Abraham was on some of them, as pathetic as it sounds I was honestly delighted that some bloke that I've never met had ridden some of the same roads as me in a little corner of SW Wales

60 miles already. Looks like he's stopped for breakfast. Heading to Dorset with a tailwind.

He has ridden a fair few roads that I frequent. No point me checking Strava as it is odds on he has knocked me down a place on them all.

Well I wasn't going to mention it but as you've brought it up, I stuffed him on all of them
Mind you he'd probably ridden 400 miles by the time he did them!

[QUOTE 3602220, member: 9609"]Looks like they have both headed down to the coast today, Steves just a few miles inland from Poole, 195miles on the clock and still pedalling.
For reasons beyond me Kurt gave that fantastic 22 mile bridge over Lake Pontchartrain a miss, he should have just got his wife to drive behind, it would have been an amazing 44 miles each way - Instead he has headed a little east to 'Bay St Louis' where he seems to be just cycling back and forth along the sea front, can't blame him though, it does look rather fantastic StreetView Link and as of now (4pm Mississippi time) he has a 135 on the clock[/QUOTE]
South is the only way to ride today. There's a wicked northerly blowing down here. The problem starts tomorrow when there's nowhere south left to go.

According to his diary, he'll be back home for tomorrow night.

In that case he'll have a hard day. I only went for a quick ride along the Thames cycle path today and the north facing bits (it does meander a lot) were murderous.
