I bet Kurt does not do a 200 mile the day after he completes a year in the saddle.

Allez Steve.

Heh. Of course Steve has had a day or two bed rest, so probably feels quilty about those :P


Today looks very good so far. 25kph-ish with a decent cross-wind.
But an 0921 start - so he's an hour behind "usual", the cost of a late finish last night. But miles on the board are as good as time-in-hand ...  we'll see ...

It really isn't pleasant where he is right now. Take care Steve.

Now appears to be visiting Peartree, presumably to have a snack & say hello to some of the Poor Student finishers :thumbsup:

He carried on past....must've seen a few of the later Poor Student finishers on his way through :thumbsup:

Decently 'flat' 307km @ ~300m, in not so great weather.  Well done Steve!
