She is doing just fine and we wish her the very best. I wonder how many LADY AUK MEMBERS could have a crack at this record?

I suspect the question is more how many would want to.
I can think of at least two who would destroy the current record if they applied themselves to it.

Precisely.

365 days of riding a moderately long way is not a challenge I'm going to contemplate this lifetime.

SoreTween · « **Reply #152 on:** 08 January, 2016, 03:15:09 pm »

Not ruling out 365 days of riding an extraordinarily long way then?

L CC · « **Reply #153 on:** 08 January, 2016, 04:16:12 pm »

365 days of an extraordinarily long way isn't something I'm capable of.

Ah! So you contemplate riding a very long way?

Damning with faint praise it seems to me $:-\$

Out of the many that have the mental/physical capacity to beat the current record there are very few that are in a position to spend a year doing so; careers/jobs/family/money/etc.

Tracker is live for day 8

And I see thet tracker page has been changed so that actual mileage for the day is displayed in "real time".

Jep! Been following this post for a few days now. Couldn't resist to tweak the code a bit after reading this.

That would also require a sex change.

For those of you assuming the female challenge is 'easy' because it is fewer miles- think again (unless you are female).

And for those that are female (like HK), should they think again? Why?

I only meant that anyone who is female can decide for themselves if they think it's easy- I'm not intending to speak for them, IYSWIM.
I'm sure HK could push the record way out of reach of most of us (and definitely me!) if she chose to do it

Sorry? I don't understand how my statement qualifies as either damning or faint praise?

I wonder if RAF sees it as possible to infer a suggestion that there are some members who aren't applying themselves, or that the current record is easy, given that it could be 'destroyed' so readily.

(I think you could read it that way, but only if you were really determined ...)

Crikey - that wasn't intent at all! It just I don't get the whole "but many other could do much better" thing. As I've said elsewhere, it's likely that someone like Chrissie Wellington could easily do it - she could possibly rival Steve, Kurt et al, but she isn't.
