Interestingly Bruce can claim the highest mileage in 1 month "world record" because it was officially recognised
where as we all know that Teethgrinder, Tommy Godwin and Kurt have all ridden further.
He must be careful.
I agree. GPX/TCX tracks are essentially text files, and are easily manufactured. Bruce doesn't use a heart rate monitor, so there's no way to prove beyond doubt that he rode where he said he rode, and that it was actually him that did it. No-one else is verifying his effort by witnessing the events (which, I believe, is at least in part how Tommy's ride was recorded), so, without the umbrella of a monitoring organisation, his ride will carry little weight and will appear in history as no more than a footnote. That's a pitiful reward for all that effort!
UCMA may be twunts, but they give Kurt and Steve's efforts credibility.
