I thought it was a lovely article - she was very sympathetic and captured nicely the modesty/ non shoutyness of the whole thing.  Made me quite proud...

Dr Larrington noticed it, though whether she would have paid it much mind had she not already been aware of Steve's efforts is open to question.

Mrs G noticed it too and didn't just glance over it.

I tweeted Ms Williams and asked her to check Steve out every three months to see how he is doing...she replied...'Wilco'...I will remind her !

That's quite funny. I'd sent her a link to the Andy Wilkinson 24 hour record film. She was going to be taken more seriously if she knew about some of the key milestones in recent long-distance cycling. Andy's known as 'Wilko'.

As an assiduous Guardian reader, I see there's a slight reference to Steve in Zoe's review of the Skoda Yeti, a car I'd quite like myself.

And yet, and yet; subjected to some profoundly challenging driving conditions, it triumphed, and I decided I didn’t care what it looked like, or where the armrest was. Wednesday was spent driving alongside a cyclist while someone else took photos of him on miles of country road, causing huge inconvenience to other cars. I needed more than agility, which this has in surprising amounts; I needed enough acceleration that meant, when I’d finished, I could disappear at a speed that said, simultaneously, “I’m sorry for the delay,” and “Eat my shorts”. That I got. Does turbo-diesel get better all the time, or do my prejudices simply recede? The 2L TDI engine soared past everything.
