[HAMR] Blog about 2015 Tommy Godwin Record Attempt
« on: 01 February, 2015, 09:50:58 am »
I'm not a cyclist but became aware through my husband Andy. Steve's efforts so far have had me transfixed. I've written a blog about it which you can read here http://andsl.org/wp/?p=180 if you are interested.

Aye, that does a really good job of explaining the whole thing to an outsider.

Eh? I just mean someone who doesn't ride these distances regularly, or at all.

Only 11 more blogs to go.

Imagine how hard it must be to get up every day and push your body out the door for yet another mammoth effort.  I find it hard enough to just get up and ride 3km to work.

Indeed. I've recently fractured my foot and it's given me even more respect (and it was already pretty damn high) for Steve's recovery after his break. I take my hat off to them all.

The advantage that Steve has over you is he doesn't have to ride 3k before he starts work! !
