Possibly me :-)
I randomly bumped into him on a ride and said hello. I asked if he minded me riding with him for a bit and he was very welcoming and said he enjoyed people joining him occasionally and he liked the company. I don’t think he wants to be mobbed but one or two, here and there is ok. I only stayed for an hour.
He later vlogged about how I said he inspired me to try and ride >200miles in his honour... I promised him I’d do it by NYE but I’m ashamed to say I never managed it. This year, I promise.
Steve attempt is I my opinion the only like for like record attempt.
But considering that roads were much quieter then, Steve's achievements already are unbelievable.
Like a true english eccentric he's plucking away with out constant intrusion, he doesn't even like people riding with him.
Glad that he re started. He's never played the media circus nor the exhibitionist social media scrum.
And much more dignified for it.
