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

[13 rider]

Cracked it! No, not the map, caught up with Steve at the Windmill cafe 7 miles north of Oakham and we rode with him for the best part of an hour, we have quite a few mutual friends in tt'ing and long distance cycling so we took it in turns to ride and chat with him. We took a few pictures which I will post up shortly in "Your ride today" in the cafe. It is possible we may be able to ride with him again tomorrow.

Well done for finding him.I was planning to intercept today if he followed the route from two weeks ago but sadly for me he turned east south of Leicester and wouldn't have had time to get across Leicester and intercept .im not sure I could keep up with him anyway but would be worth trying .hopefully other chances in the year

I meant that if the map had still been dud we would not have ridden with Steve today.

Ah! Well I pointed it out to Dave who pointed out to Scott who fixed it and said thanks for pointing it out. I expect Steve was glad of the company.

So he uses his bike as a radiator when he's not riding it?
