There are other stories of him riding an even longer ride (Grand Triangle perm perhaps, a 3400km ride) where he couldn't get the time off from work to cover the whole thing, so he started the ride anyway and built up enough of a time buffer early on that he could go in and do two days work. When he finished the second day he got back on the bike and finished the ride.
