Day 78 just shy of 107 miles https://www.strava.com/activities/520225640

It's a bit more complicated than that...
7.5%, just before Grantham. And the answer is that the fens are flat. They're reclaimed marsh.With a max gradient of ... 0.7% !!!
How can you find roads that flat ?

May be flat, but without the hills to get her working it would have been a cold ride.

Continuing with the Steve Abraham most photographed male world record attempt, here he is again;

And here's why;
TANDEM SEAT FOR HIRE
I have just taken custody of a Circe Morpheus semi recumbent tandem. The original idea was so that Lesley, my home manager for the 1YTT, could ride the Audax 24 hour Easter Arrow, after sustaining a shoulder injury. Then along came Jo Page, getting a broken arm, so I agreed to ride a 200km Audax DIY permanent with her. These things tend to happen in 3s and that's what happened. I've also agreed to help Cath ride with her friend Kajsa Tylen. Cath was going to do a 25 mile ride with Kajsa, who is out to become the women who has cycled the furthest in year. But instead of Cath only doing the 25 mile social ride, we will be trying for 2 days of about 100 miles each riding with Kajsa.
I have also put ideas to another few people. There's a possibility of my riding around the NW coast of Scotland with Paula Regener, who was going to set off for the women's round the world record in April, but has since broken her ankle (I know how she feels!)
I provisionally have this machine until the 30 April, but it could be arranged for me to keep it a bit longer. I already have some plans for traveling around the country on the Morpheus so that I can do some rides with injured riders.
Plan so far is
18/3/16 Milton Keynes to Great Malvern
19/3/16 200km Audax DIY with Jo Page
20/3/16 Great Malvern to Milton Keynes
25-28/3/16 Audax UK 24 hour Easter Arrow (360km) ride to York, then ride back home over 2 days via Sleaford
7/4/16 Milton Keynes to Nottingham
8/4/16 Offering my services for anyone wanting to ride with Kajsa Tylen for a day
9-10/4/16 Riding a day with Kajsa Tylen with her friend Cath
11-13/4/16 Offering my services to anyone wanting to ride with Kajsa for a day. I may also do so for 14th.
Riding to Bristol to see Emily Chappell on 16th April. Anyone welcome to join me on the Morpheus.
Offering my services to anyone. I have offered to ride with Paula Regener around Scotland. I will prioritize anyone with injuries or wanting to help Kajsa and if Paula wants to do the Scottish trip, it will revolve around that.
Which I think is bloody brilliant and I'd love a go!

Calling @ianrauk If I cadge a lift around an 100 miler in April from him can I count it towards the imperial challenge?
I don't see why not. After all it is a tandem ride so you will still be doing your own fair share of cycling.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
You do know that the wheelbarrow has a freewheel in the front BB, don't you? It means that only the upright rider actually has to pedal.
I can't imagine that @Supersuperleeds would not pedal and let Steve pedal for over 100miles. Do you?
I'd be tempted myself.....
Seriously though, I'm tempted to see it in action and have a little try but only for a few miles!
