So it looks like Steve has stopped 5 miles up the road from me tonight :

And I haven't got much in the diary tomorrow.

Does anyone know how realtime the realtime tracker is? I'm not going to stalk him or anything, but I'm considering stalking him.

^Freezing fog,icy roads & an early night! Today ( 19/3/15) he's back up to 202 miles for the day.

So does KV have about 800-900 miles on SG? If so then :(

I don't know why I am so annoyed about KV doing it at the same time as Steve - must just be a bias thing as I'm desperately routing for Steve to get the record.

I've updated http://goo.gl/RBHtiS with the (as far as I can tell) definitive distances from http://ultracycling.com/sections/records/data/hamr/official_results/

I've started playing with ride times, and average speeds, to see if I can get anything out of that, but I'm finding pulling the ride time data out of Strava a little tricky. Maybe I need to start pulling it out from @rive_gauche 's posts...

@youramericanlover the difference at the end of 2015-03-26 (yeah, ISO dates, bite me) is that SA is ahead by 1013.8 miles (but did start earlier). On the day by day comparisons (where day 1 of SA = day 1 of KS), KS is ahead by 811.7 miles.

I remember reading an interview with SA where he suggested that during the summer there would be some surprises for KS which I took to mean some significant mileage days.

Clocks are changing this weekend which could make a difference

I can post you the spreadsheet values if it saves operator transposition errors ;)

as i've stated before, although KV and TG are going for ultimate distance, the very fact that the two locations chosen are not the same means that SA will hold the record to the UK for a very long time

i think SA will bash out plenty of 300s. When that happens we will see what the recumbant rider can do.

Go Steve

Clocks changing shouldn't make a huge difference, as SA seems to be riding sunup to sundown, and the amount of time between them isn't changed by a technical change in the time.

That would be really useful, do you have it for just one, or both of them?

Cheers!

I just can't stomach the idea that what Steve is doing being second-to-anything. Fingers crossed he is does pull some amazing distances in the summer and get the overall record for himself.

I think that the time issue may show something here, I think that KS may be already operating closer to the top of his game than SA, but that sort of thing is hard to confirm.

It's going to continue to be interesting.

We remain very early in the process. They are both already utterly amazing, but with the best will in the world there is no guarantee that either of them will break the record.

Kicking off in the comments section of his latest ride..

"I'll just mosey on over to Strava to have a look... let's see, supportive messages... we love you, steve... moar support... oh, whoa!"
