34,269km / 98,500k done
Originally it was one lap of the planet but they bumped it to 2.5 for some reason so that's over 90k per day on the turbo, each. Now I ain't doing that so hopefully some of the other nutters put in enough miles to cover the deficit.

I just bailed on today's intervals so I'll have lunch and finish the annoying bastards off tonight. I'm not really doing any extra Zwift miles as planned but I'm not that bothered. Work has offered to double my fund raising amount so that's neat.

The fox has cracked! We lead by over 2,000 km now..We have completed the continent of Oceania, riding through Australia and New Zealand.
The Race: The pace has really gone up as we head for home. Yesterday I saw 2 riders put in 300km+ days (well done Kate & Pedro), but this was surpassed by Pier for Team Go Solo who did a 24 hour indoor ride and put in 460km! Lots of small battles going on, 2nd & 3rd, 4th & 5th and Yumi has made a break from the main group.... Lots of great work climbing mountains too! I need to get out and ride as am feeling guilty...

We will do these as "Meet ups" so we can ride together. We have chose n a fun mix of routes to test you a bit....Wednesday 6th May @ 11:45 GMT: Mountain 8
Thursday 7th May @ 11:45 GMT: Out & Back again

99,457 km completed. Our ride takes us from Belarus to Northern Italy... We have 24 Km left to ride, we will smash it!
Personally, I rode another 140k turbo day yesterday and then we had a rider meetup on Zwift just now where I could pass the 2500k mark. Lots of people rode a lot further in and outdoors but that's the most time I've spent on a trainer in a month for sure.

"Speed wombat" hippy has bagged himself the White Jersey for most attacking rider today. The fat fuck himself is on 585k. Reports in that when not cycling he likes long walks on the beach and talking about himself in the third person.
