Yearly Distance Record Attempt (Tommy Godwin - 75,065mi/120,000k)

244 miles for Steve today.

Loving the Maths talk up thread too. Didn't understand much of it, mind.

And a message saying the "big miles" are "yet to come".

cumulative - 16,645.6 mi, 54:14:52:38 d, 457,153 ft

SA certainly opened the taps yesterday, may be heading down to exeter today, so not backing off

cumulative - 16,860.2 mi, 55:12:07:39 d, 463,509 ft

Truly epic day, into the wind, made Exeter appx 2am :$

Less than 4 hours sleep, and he's off to Lowestoft (290 mi) with the spinnaker out

I wanna send Steve out in space with his efforts to show the extraterrestial a scope of potential from us, the Homo Sapiens.

Twitter line says an incident on the A38 Steve gone to a friends to sleep ?

I dont know any more details than that.

I've just seen that - Steve and bike are fine but there's no other details yet. (That was as of an hour ago.)

From Twitter:
"Extremely sad to announce that aprox 8.10am Steve was ridden into by a moped Steve tried to carry on but stopped in Wellington. He was collected by one of the team and taken to hospital. He has 2 broken bones in his ankle and is currently in plaster. Is looking highly likely that he will require an operation to have a plate and screws. That is all the information available at the moment."
DAMN.

no fucking way

Fuuuuuuuuuck, this is so sad.

Gutted for him doesn't do it justice. Absolutely gutted.

Fuck.

Shit. Here's hoping for the best.

Poor Steve. Gutted for him.

At least he will recover and it wasnt his head. Its always a risk but i.m gutted for him especially as the days draw out and he was focussed for the summer. Gutted is not the word he must be feeling after nesrly 17k miles in 4 months.

Absolutely gutted for him and everyone who's been supporting him.

Oh, bloody hell, what a disaster. He must be so disappointed. Poor Steve. Fuck.

Gah!

Fucksake :-(

4 weeks recovery and back on it full throttle doing the mega miles for the UK record?

oh dear, very sad for SA. heal up soon chap.

Damn. I'm gutted, I can't imagine how he must be feeling.

Truly gutted for Steve, can't imagine how he must be feeling.
