Earlier start today. He's already been on the move for over an hour - heading along the A14 towards Bury St Edmunds.

Tweet from yesterday hints at maybe a big day today: https://twitter.com/steve_abraham74/status/651157806557429760/photo/1

Go Steve!

Needing 240+ to average out over the two days at a Godwin, though... (and a fair bit more to make some progress towards the Godwin Line and beyond)

Allez Steve

Can't wait to see the cunning plan.

Is it as cunning as a fox that's been to cunning school?

I thought there was a cycling ban on the A14.

The tracker doesn't have any points on the A14 - google route has taken parallel roads.

There should a vehicle ban on the A14.

Dreadful road that I am forced to use too often. A motorway in all but name and financing.

Least don't get all the traffic through thapston as used to before a14

Steve appears to be currently approaching Lincoln so perhaps his visit to the coast last night was part of the cunning plan. Question is where might be the other end of this plan be?

Go Steve Go!

Cycling to Ardnamurchan point, in the hope the wind will have turned by the time he gets there?

Shreds · « **Reply #10 on:** 06 October, 2015, 05:30:56 pm »

Crossed my mind too!

Few years since I was at Ardnamurchan Point, agree the weather might be better there!

he's practically in my back yard, its got very grey and dark over here in the last hour 6-7pm, looks like a lot of rain on the way

Basil · « **Reply #12 on:** 06 October, 2015, 07:04:58 pm »

Nice to see Steve breaking free from East Agnia for a change. Er, is he expecting a north wind tomorrow?

delthebike · « **Reply #13 on:** 06 October, 2015, 07:09:44 pm »

I think he's heading to a Travelodge in Goole. Where he'll

.

GO STEVE!!

Shreds · « **Reply #14 on:** 06 October, 2015, 08:25:58 pm »

I would wager that having sampled the delights of Doncaster recently he may be drawn back the Travel lodge at Doncaster Lakeside, although last time he was there I recall it was said it was a second best choice to York, which would have been out of time for the day.

Shame, as that's not far from me but I am at the other end of the country at present, otherwise I would have popped out for an evening spin.

rain held off

Shreds · « **Reply #16 on:** 06 October, 2015, 10:07:18 pm »

Ok looks like delthebike is spot on. Goole for the night. Given the reports of heavy rain, I would guess Steve will be glad of a warm dry bed.

red marley · « **Reply #17 on:** 06 October, 2015, 10:24:55 pm »

Is there a Travelodge in Goole? There's a Premier Inn, but he's now north of that. Unless he's going to loop back, perhaps he's heading somewhere closer to York.

Shreds · « **Reply #18 on:** 06 October, 2015, 10:40:25 pm »

I just don't know how he does it.... confounds me every time.

Bobby · « **Reply #19 on:** 07 October, 2015, 12:16:03 am »

On strava, 373.9km - well done Steve!

That must be 232miles, a good day at the office!

Arry-R · « **Reply #20 on:** 07 October, 2015, 12:51:03 am »

Not too bad Steve keep doing as best you can soon be up to minimum of 206 per day needed.
Let's hope good days a plenty for October

Wobbly · « **Reply #21 on:** 07 October, 2015, 06:10:04 am »

...and November, December, January, February, etc

Are you sure about that? It's hard to imagine Goole having anything 'premier'.

My rule for hotels: If it has to use an adjective in its name to describe how good it is, it probably isn't.
