Toby Williams and I are on the same distance and so are a couple of other riders so these are definitely still provisional distances.
Looking at my file it has 482.363km, which converts to 299.7265 miles. So, the time I stopped to let a driver through only for them to fail to indicate and turn in without passing, could cost me 300. Stopping to adjust my brakes, bye bye 300. Tight neck and not being able to get comfortable at the start, bye bye 300. Shoe covers rubbing on Achilles, bye bye 300. Every time I braked a little harder than needed (safety first kids!) bye bye 300.
Wheels are off, the Shiv is back on the rack. Now I just need my sitbone skin to grow back so I can ride Transiberica.
