Does anyone know where Steve is planning to ride to today? I am looking at the tracker and see he may head out towards me based on the current track.

Kurt's on the move...3 miles asunder..

Temperature: " 22C - feels like...22C" It's ok though, it'll be down to a miserable 19C by 4am tomorrow. Maybe Kurt'll stay in bed until it warms up a bit.

What a shame I missed him this morning, from his tracker info I was just a couple of miles away when he passed through Shrivenham.
Although I only saw his tracker info when I got back home, better luck next time.

Nice one as the tracker won't load on my phone browser. Even more reasons to get distracted in meetings.

A place in England. You mean you haven't been there? Like stamp collectors have the Stanley Gibbons, record collectors have their Marsh Gibbons...

Unfortunately my 2G phone is too simple for things like apps.

As 'Marshy' Abrahams gets lompey en route to Pompey, Kurt is building himself a cat's cradle around the perimeter of Waveland...~120SA v ~50KTS

[QUOTE 3609301, member: 9609"]Last time kurt spent a day in Waveland it was 745' ascent in 221 miles - you would do more climbing on a billiard table !
if you did 221 miles where I live it would be about 16,000 foot of ascent.[/QUOTE]
Might take longer though?

You mean like people who sell houses can be soul agents? Steve is a bit like that - A soul, a gent. I understand what you mean, Tim. Probably the reverse will rarely be true. And let's not forget Kurt 'Grimpy con Chimpies' Searvogel - 'Southern Soul' at the moment...
281 and a bit days to go...still shaking my head. (Something is bound to connect soon...)
