Her tracker's active today, which is good news.
Her accumulated elevation is now 161,765 metres. That's 100 miles. So maybe she should bank that 100 miles for yesterday.

A zero distance day was going to mess up my spreadsheet, so I've awarded her 100 metres!

It is a very cruel record really, isn't it ... The huge effort involved in undertaking it yet someone else can effectively trash your record before you even achieve it! It must be one of the few records where this kind of thing can happen.
As for losing time due to illness or injury ... it takes a lot of effort to build up a decent buffer, but that can be eaten up by just a few days of problems.

Back on the bike in the sunshine. Not feeling great and under fuelled due to hardly any food yesterday, but I'm taking it easy. And no more cramps! Thanks for all the well wishes!!

Just tagging @CharlieB in case he hasn't seen this.
I've got my pass all sorted, but I may need to head home pronto afterwards to be sociable* at post fireworks thingy.
* Insofar as I am ever sociable.

I might have hoped to join the Harpenden ride, as my late mother's surviving brother lives there and I haven't visited this year. Until very recently he and his wife were leading figures in the local tandemming scene, with their handsome green Mercian, and it might be worth tipping them off anyway.
But that day is also my wife's 50th birthday. If I were to ask, I'm sure she'd be fine with it, but I don't think I'd ever forgive myself.

Obviously, with the caveat that I don't know your wife ... She might say that she's fine with it ... but it's not a risk I'd take!!
Invite her along - it's a very significant ride and she'll be able to look back and say "I was there!"

When I read this, my first thought was that I'd have to get her a eBike - and then I realised this could be the single best idea I've ever received from this forum.Invite her along - it's a very significant ride and she'll be able to look back and say "I was there!"

She's passed the 40,000km mark today. Astonishing.

I haven't done a graph for a while, so here's one. Her lead over an imaginary rider doing exactly the rate required for 50,000km (85.1 mpd)
She's certainly got the hang of churning out 100 mile days since the start of September! The asking rate should drop under 70mpd sometime in the next few days.
