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

[Pale Rider]

Steve started at 5.30am today.

Looks like he did a little loop - probably with the host - before heading south.

I'm sure @mcshroom is right there no host tonight, so Steve will be heading back to Milton Keynes.

Another 200 miles.

And I'm still in bed. Time to go for a ride!

It's all downhill from the North isn't it?

He's already at York, nearly 60 miles done, and I've only just had breakfast

This link is a shameless lift from a post on YACF, but Steve's first host has done an excellent write-up on what's involved in looking after him for a night.

I did a 100 miler today with @Mista Preston , @rb58 & @CharlieB . Steve was constantly in my thoughts. Near to the end of today's ride I said to Mista P, "Well, Steve would be halfway through yesterday's ride, and we are heading home. Just amazing,"

You mean you didn't turn round and cycle back the way we came? ;-)

173 miles in for today so far. Looking like another 200+ day for Steve.

Not sure if it's been posted already, but there's a nifty Android app, written by Ben over on YACF, that gives an upto-the-last-tracker-reported-position, mileage and so on, including a link to Google Maps.

Linky to the Google Store

I think Steve has struggled a bit today.

When he set off this morning, he was on target for an 8pm-ish finish, but it will be gone 11pm before he gets home.

Looks like he's stopped more often and for longer than usual, and his pace has slowed through the day.

I reckon he could do with an easier day tomorrow.

I reckon he could do with an easier day tomorrow.

I hope so .... I can't cope with the daily stress!

Does that app require all sorts of permissions on Android? Or do I only get this because in order to install it on BlackBerry I have to download the apk file via some dodgy site?
