if he's coming to uk in april it would be good to ride along every now and then, especially if he spends some time in his favourite richmond park.
Sticking to Richmond Park could be a sensible strategy with Canyon's UK office being in Kingston. He might start craving a bit of variety before he reaches the target of 12,000 laps though.
It doesn’t matter where you start. Just start.
Depending which way his plane flies to and from Aus, he could gain a couple of days in the style of Philias Fogg.
I realise that if its within the current UMCA HAMR rules people can do what they want, but if in the future this challenge becomes one that can only be achieved by chasing the good weather around the globe, relies on lots of on the road support and big bucks, it's one that will lose its appeal for me.
I thought Guinness said that they would not entertain the record again (as it is too dangerous?). I thought that was what started Steve out on the route to talking with the UMCA.I hope that he undertakes it under the same rules as Kurt and Steve, pointless otherwise (sort of like his Guinness monthly/weekly "records" which have clearly been bettered by Kurt and Steve).

Guinness limit you to one machine and having to start from where you finished the night before. Why would anyone attempt either the men's or women's records with these rules?Modern bikes need to be regularly maintained so that means unlike Billie and Tommy you need a second machine to ride whilst the other one is being serviced.
