Sure, it's one thing to be able to do it and another thing to want to do it, and a third thing entirely to be arsed to put all the sponsorship and support together. And actually doing it is a fourth thing!
240 miles per day on UK-type roads wiht TT bike and no luggage would be achievable for an average TCR / TT rider like me. But I wouldn't fancy being able to get 240 day in day out if the road surface was shit, as it would slow me down and the bumps mean an aero position is impossible as it's too painful. And if there is a constant head wind - like there was on the Nullarbor a couple of weeks ago - then 240 would be hard as well.
