So he is off, heading NW at 5:11

Have a good day, Steve!
It is simpler than it looks.

Frosty out there but (here) at least the wind's abated thankfully.

Up the A5 again.  More of this and it should be renamed the Steve Abraham highway.

During today Steve will have completed the equivalent of 15 PBPs since Jan 1st.

Good grief.

It's bright and sunny here in Saarfend and 3.9 deg C. Thankfully the wind has abated. Hopefully Steve will have a good day. Sunset is at 5.43 MK time.

I saw snow on the commute this morning, but at this time of year the sun now has a little strength so should warm up quickly.

Have a good day Steve  :thumbsup:

The tracker shows he rode south through Bishops Itchington. He turned round.

That’s due to the lines of traffic trying to get to Jaguar Land Rover, Gaydon.

Give those roads a complete miss during the week.

He’s kept on the south side of the river through Stratford on Avon. Wise.

I take back what I said about there being no wind out there. It's now blowing a gale :(

And he's going to have it behind him after a quick turnaround at Tewkesbury. :)

Me too. I've just had a 5-mile walk mostly along the sea wall. It was hard work.

If we are to have this right you meant 'steak' - no capitals for ordinary nouns.

Well done that man, especially as it is quite rare.

Tartare for now.

In Southam at 4.30pm, so presumably he will want to add some extra miles. What chance a sneaky Gibbon on the way back?

Would make good sense. I'd imagine Steve will want to build up a good buffer of Gibbons early in the month to afford him some route flexibility later on if circumstances dictate.
9 miles SW of Marsh Gibbon

That looks rather likely - a Gibbon via Silverstone and Brackley might well happen given Steve's current location and direction!

I've not been paying attention over the weekend. Will this be the first March Gibbon?
