Breakfast at Barton Truck Stop World Heritage Site in the morning? :D
1997 LEL control - I remember it well.

And 2001.

And 2013 (unofficial stop - I needed plasters and/or bandages, which they had!)

Nothing on strava or twitter yet - but then then he has 24 hours to upload. Complete radio silence until the morning wouldn't be a bad idea  ;)

I'm guessing 350km which would be astonishing given the weather.  Must sleep, if I'm going to be rested for a ride the morrow. Oh, wait, Steve has one of them too  ;D

More than 360km, because that's 225 miles, which is what the tracker says, and that always calls under.

363.  Tidy.  He's earned an extra sausage. Maybe two if he remembers to wash behind his ears.

And I'm fretting over a DIY 200 tomorrow.

"And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Abraham’s day."
