[HAMR] March 3rd

By the time he completes the year, it will just about have broken in.

I think it was HTFB who once said to me that after a couple of thousand miles of riding with it, a Brooks saddle moulds one's backside to its shape.

[Mr Larrington]

Hail!  Uck!

And now it's sunny again

[hillbilly]

Damn those pesky weather gods and their frivolous ways.

[T42]

Wonder if they'll give him a free jacket.

a Brooks jacket    Probably a free saddle, I reckon. I didn't know Brooks was making cycling jackets!

Deffo not for Lycra lovers

I wouldn't be surprised if they made a cycling tie cravat.

Just checked up on Steve's trajectory for the day. That Brum-evasion manoeuvre is impressive, reminiscent of a WW1 dogfight.

Whereas this is a thing of beauty for Luddites everywhere:

Praise the Ludd!

(But I'd want a full-length zip.)

Will be keeping a close eye on the tracker later, as usually go out in the lanes south of Ashby on a Tuesday night anyway so might try and do a bit of Teethgrinder hunting while I'm out 

Looks like he's staying in the lanes to the south of Ashby, maybe I'll see him tonight

[Wobbly]

He did well to avoid the southern parts today. Driving from Swindon to Worcester there were some tremendous downpours but very localised. The fine folks at Brooks would have stayed dry.

[Basil]

Round and round and round we go.

Good loopage from Steve atm.

[Wobbly]

Yikes. A quick detour west to Ibstock and my sister could look after him for the night

Not sure he'd survive the experience though.

[Climberruss]

Tracker has him at 171 miles atm. It's a long way back from there so a good tally is on the cards!   

[Basil]

I don't think he's going back to MK tonight.  I think he's being hosted somewhere near the loopage.

ETA.  Ashby de la wosname.

[Ham]

Ashby according to the calendar. I do hope he makes it past Packing town

[duncan]

The trackers generally don't cope all that well with tiny loops, so we'll have to wait for strava to have any idea how far he's been today.

[CrazyEnglishTriathlete]

Looks like he's heading for his stop now.  Another very long day at his office.

[Iffacus]

Managed to track TG down and he allowed us to ride with him for a few miles 

[rafletcher]

193.9 miles

Astounding. Cold out there today too. Well done Steve!

Looks like weather relief soon on its way, as of Friday markedly milder and less windy; it was indeed quite bitter at time yesterday, even snow flurries here.
