Day 81: Both Steve and Kurt each ride around one 'Godwin' of 206 miles. Kurt heading along the coast to Alabama, Steve returning home from Dorset. One more week left of a scheduled pace of 215 miles per day before things ramp up yet again.

I'm staggered by the stunning similarity of the landscape in both these gent's rides...and their 'hardware', their attire etc...Their derrieres are sharing a common moment too. Keep 'em koming, Kurt - Go Steve!

It's staggering isn't it, if it wasn't for Kurts accent I'd have trouble telling them apart. For me it was nicely demonstrated by the gloves they're both wearing

The industrial handling of tea and sausages demands exacting and well-insulated gauntlets. Flimsywear is ok for tacos and the occasional box of polystyrene tepidity. And every picture of Steve...he's on a different bike!*

Steve is really enjoying seeing people come out to cheer him on throughout the day. A shout out and an enthusiastic wave of support from the side of the road is all it takes to give Steve a huge boost!

Trackers are not working here either.

I thought the same about Kurt's roads. Presumably the next quality step down in roads is a big drop in terms of surface and general ease of riding; so he's choosing those for speed. Looks awful though!

I didn't think we'd be 70 days in and both guy still going...this is such unbelievable territory....truly awesome from both

The trackers are up and running again.
