LMT,
I don't understand why you post such negative and inflammatory stuff. You are one of a very very small minority who is clearly not supporting and applauding the efforts of both riders, but instead have nailed your colours to the mast and will troll away regardless. It's really quite unpleasant and spoils what is otherwise an amicable and pleasant internet place to be.
Please be more thoughtful when posting in the future.
I've made no such comments at all and I wish both riders the very best regarding this record. Unlike some others on here that have somehow felt that Kurt has gatecrashed ( for want of a better word ) Steve's attempt and have had sly dig after sly dig at his manners and approach regarding the weather, terrain and the fact that he's using a bent.
Pointing out and giving constructive criticism is not the same as trolling and ironically is sometimes what you need when taking on a record of this magnitude. And AFAIK the only times I've made such comments on Steve's attempt have been with respect to signing up to the UMCA rules to get his ride ratified in the thread that FB set up, comments in the same thread regarding his strategy of doing out and back rides when I would have been doing circuits around MK, and here and now with respect to his sleep dep, you don't need to be residing at Baker Street to realise that riding the way he rode yesterday will exhaust the system and it needs to recover, and perhaps I am being unfair here but it is up to his crew to say no, you need some more rest. I hope to see Steve at the G&Y fields audax where I will wish him all the best.
But I admire Tarzan more, his sprit and sense of humour when faced with challenge after challenge through lack of planning has endeared me to him, as well as his daily videos on FB, therefore:-
GO TARZAN
