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

[Aperitif]

Its primarly a closure opportunity for the victim. I too have doubts abouts its impact on sentencing.

Oh bollocks. Steve had an 'arrowing foot injury. He had Primar(l)y Health Care, then a closure, which has now been replaced. He definitely had an impact at the time and was a bit lost for words, no doubt - which might have caused a delay in 'sentencing'. Pop over to yacf - Steve's 'natural forum home' and see what change you get from starting a discussion about victim sentencing, as they know much more than the plebiscite posting here...

This applies to cases in general. Nothing specific about. Steve. If ever there is any influence it be be over violent crime cases where the trauma suffered especially the mental situation plays a part. Steve best bet is take a civil suit and roast the guy for all he has got. The fact that Steve was leading and his consistent performance carries a lot of weight and this goes into the loss of potential endorsement. Save all the effort and time for the civil suit. Thats where you get the returns.

Steve is wearing his OYTT shirt for the duration - there'll be no chance of him having a civil suit. He'd look a dork cycling around the MK Bowl with it on anyway. A year's freedom pass to the KFC huts nationwide would not go amiss though...can you help?

90-odd miles for Steve...one-legged today. I would say 'chapeau' but maybe 'chaussure' is way to go!
He just keeps bowling along...

 

[Aperitif]

And a bit extra for being 'banged up' in Milton Keynes?

I m curious why he is not pursuing a civil suit. He should as the loss to Steve is immense.

Ask here - there are a lot of knowledgeable people with their fingers on the pulse of Steve's affairs. You will find your truth, or a point of view about it.

Legal advice is being sought. However, if the person against whom you're claiming has few assets, you're probably on a hiding to nothing.

There is the Motor Insurance Bureau, which deals with claims against unisured drivers. They should be able to help.

Got it, thanks.

From Jo over at the other place
Day 105: Kurt's birthday ride clocks up a very respectable 212 miles doing loops around Little Rock. Matched by Miles's tour de Mornington who fits in 217 miles between sleeps. Rumour has it that Steve's new trike will be ready shortly.

 

[ianrauk]

Day 106: After an agonising wait, Steve makes his first one-legged recorded ride on his new trike with 80 laps of the Milton Keynes bowl. The scale of the challenge means that even with 50 remarkable miles, he still slips a long way behind Tommy's pace. Disaster for Kurt as he picks up serious digestive problems from a contaminated water bottle. Rest and a saline drip, but he still manages a tentative mile to keep a daily contribution to the challenge.

 

[ianrauk]

Day 107: Kurt recovers slowly from his tummy bug with plenty of sleep, a fever, but still 13 miles on the bike for a bit of variety. Steve's left leg takes him to the bowl again for 82 anticlockwise miles. Miles continues his back and forth across the bay with two working legs and a functioning digestive system.

 

[ianrauk]

Day 108: A day after being laid low by his stomach bug, Kurt is back up to 101 miles of "recovery" riding. Steve pedals another 83 miles with his heroic left leg. The full year view shows the impact of both their circumstances.

 

[ianrauk]

Day 109: Kurt is back already to 202 miles in a day despite still recuperating from the last few days' illness. Steve wanders the roads of Milton Keynes to avoid going stir crazy in the MK bowl. Miles heads north from Melbourne for an impressive 236 miles.
