There's new UMCA data about now, so https://goo.gl/RBHtiS hs now been updated with that, and Strava data updated to last night.

I'd love to Steve to suddenly start doing 300mi daily and snatch it. Scooter lynch mob?

75065-60839 = 14226 miles behind. Over 18 days that's 790 miles a day.

Meanwhile Kurt just needs to average ~181 miles for these last 18 days to get the new record.

Only 790mi? That's totally doable, he just needs to pedal faster and stop sleeping.

Your post has messed with my subconscious. Last night I had a dream in which I'd managed to clock up 850 miles in a day and then decided I might as well carry on to 1,000...

Still in awe of the riders doing this, particularly when I feel knackered after a full 80 mile week of commutes.

It's going to be hard to pull this back now. I think he needs a break and a rethink.
I can't believe I can say that after 5 days he hasn't once reached 200 miles and it isn't enough. (he's done more in those five days than I have in the last five months)
You don't suppose that on his recent mileages he is actually resting and recovering?
It shows the enormity of what he was doing and what Kurt still is doing.

plenty of thoughts about this over on yacf > https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=90295.0

resting and recovering precludes achieving the required >200 mi per day every day :(

What happened yesterday? He seemed to go to the MK Bowl again but the tracker didn't show much. Can't see any chat on yacf about it and don't really do FB. Nothing on Strava either (the Monday morning upload was Sunday's ride).

I see he's been dropped this morning down in the SW (near the Severn Bridge) so he's going for another big day of tailwind.

Tracking at the Bowl is all out of whack, he can do 3-6 laps of it before the tracker picks him up again AFIUI.

But yes, I was wondering the same thing

Yep, the tracking points are roughly every 5 minutes, if you're doing laps of a small circuit (the MK bowl is 1km IIRC) then it's not going to have you going very far at all between points.

But usually something is uploaded to Strava by now.

So today is unusual.

Joking aside. His tracker now shows Steve at Milton Keynes Hospital? Hope he is okay.

On yacf: "It is a planned appointment to clear up the digestive issues."

Aha, yesterday's ride is up there but it needs editing. Seems he did 11k to Cromer (after midnight) and then 90km to/from and around the MK bowl after being driven back to MK.

So only ~100km for the day.
