Well done Nuncio  :thumbsup:

I sense more fens and possibly Huntingdon cafes.

Sometime tomorrow he should reach 10% of the distance.  Up every day before dawn and back several hours after dusk.  Every day this year and still not 10%.  Have placed orders for more hats.

Hatters gonna hat.

Looks like he stopped for a while for sustenance in Ramsey, Cambridgeshire.  Up and going again now.

Steve will be enjoying the warmth I`d expect today, around +9c in east England it seems  :thumbsup:---but temp will probably plummet at sundown...

Looks like he's making the most of good weather today.  Another 200 up??

160-odd miles on the google maps route by 6pm, and the track looks like it starts after he'd already put in some miles already, perhaps 170 done by 6pm? Depends if he stops again and for how long, could be another 30 miles by the time he calls it a day.

He seems to have overshot MK. Perhaps he's already missing MG and is getting a quick fix.

Overshot? Looks like he's turned away for a loop to me. I'd be pretty keen to get home at this stage of a February evening myself.

Well done sir.

And herein lies the difference between Mr Abraham and, um, the rest of us.

I'm not long in.
It's actually a really nice evening out there, this evening.
First hint I've had this year that there will be an end to winter (not that we've had much of one - yet)
I wonder if Steve's taking advantage?

Several of us including Steve, have had and are still having, winter.  That doesn't mean there won't be more!

Yeah, I know.
The fact that it is all relative hasn't been lost on me.
For the record, my daily commute on the bike is a round 13.5% of Steve's daily mileage. :o
Go Steve!

Well done that man, it's another mega ride.
Hat's off - think I'll take a Guardman's hat this evening [first image I got!]

Looks like TG's got a couple of days of settled weather this week. Cold but not so frozen first thing. Little bit of respite for the lad  :thumbsup:

Mrs. Wow did that in bed last night. It was a right passion-killer, I can tell you.
