His wife and pet are not looking happy about the fact that he's gone on a year long bike ride.

Steve's wife and pet weren't so bothered.

Plenty of snaps appearing on Kurt's FB page - not sure about that diet tho' $:-\$

Is Tarzan sponsored by MacDonalds? We should see if we can get TG sponsored by Weatherspoons...

Perhaps he has a deal which involves him agreeing to eat a certain amount of their muck on his record attempt. I'm sure I read somewhere, years ago, about someone who ate too many Macdonalds's splutchburgers suffering from malnutrition.

That would the the film, Supersize Me. It was enlightening and disgusting in equal measures.

It’s daytime, It’s night-time, it’s bicycle time,,,

Its Pukka pie time.

Lon Haldeman, who won the first couple of RAAMs, was a fan of junk food. McDonalds sponsored RAAM for a couple of years.

Basically, when I see this kind of picture and more particularly when Steve has his fork poised over a cheap breakfast, I can't help but think "Fuelled by gristle, slurry and gonads."

At least two of the previous five record holders have been vegetarian.

IanDG · « **Reply #137 on:** 14 January, 2015, 12:19:15 pm »

They do veggie burgers too I believe - I can't be certain as I live in a golden arches free zone

(It wouldn't have been available for Tommy Godwin of course)

IanDG · « **Reply #138 on:** 14 January, 2015, 12:22:20 pm »

I think Kurt may be about to start today's ride.

On another FB image his recumbent bike fitting is being done by some amateur bike designer...

He's moving well today - nearly 100 miles since just after mid day (when his tracker started)

I'm betting he didn't have early ice issues

IanDG · « **Reply #142 on:** 14 January, 2015, 07:15:16 pm »

Aye, better winter conditions will help him to build up the miles early on. He's been heading up and down the same stretch of road all day, and now the wind has turned NE and he's diverted SW

No, but he did have to dodge a few alligators!!

That's one of the joys of long distance riding. It turns eating into a natural function without any of the guilt that accompanies it in the modern sedentary world. That feeling is fantastic for us natural Gannets. I'd be loving' it. I'm not so sure about having a whole year of it before me though.
That needs a very special kind of gluttonous appetite. One that just eats up anything put in front of it, literally and metaphorically.

Ningishzidda · « **Reply #145 on:** 15 January, 2015, 09:47:47 am »

When competing or performing a ‘Record attempt’,

DO NOT accept any food or drink from someone you don’t trust.

Tarzan must trust McD’s

?

This piece of advice was passed to me by a Mr ( Later Sir ) D. Brailsford after a Lecture at Jaguar Land Rover about the Quality Systems operated by Team Sky.

Exit Stage Left · « **Reply #146 on:** 15 January, 2015, 10:06:05 am »

Junk food is a major contributor to obesity, because it's readily available at all hours of the night and day, has evolved to be highly palatable, is energy dense, and is cheap. All positive factors in this context.

Ningishzidda · « **Reply #147 on:** 15 January, 2015, 12:28:39 pm »

McD will argue with that. They will explain that they don’t have large men grabbing passers-by and force-feeding those people with an excess number of calories.
They will say the people off the street enter their restaurants voluntarily.

As per any foodstuffs provider. Even the Savoy Grill.

He's within spitting distance of his first 1000miles

That was reached yesterday, YTD Strava reads 1069.5 miles.

Many thanks to Ben for the tracker App.
