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

There will then be lots of bollocks about Steve's restarted attempt not being a 'real' year attempt as he didn't start on Jan 1st and finish on Dec 31st, but unless Kurt piles on the miles soon he'll have a similar problem as missed a bunch of days as he didn't start until Jan 10th.

2016 is a leap year but the record is for 365 consecutive days, so he doesn't get a free day compared to everyone else.

It would, of course, have been nice for his original plan to work, but I think his effort will be considered all the more remarkable because (a) the re-start wasn't his fault, (b) most lesser riders would have packed it in there and then, (c) he was back on the trike/bike rather quickly, and (d) it'll be interesting to see how many miles he ends up doing in total across the two attempts. You never know, perhaps he'll keep riding after that and set completely insane new records over 150,000 miles or more (thinking that he wouldn't get the 100,000 mile record over Tommy Godwin)? Will Kurt Searvogel keep riding at the end of his year? #armchairrider
