The pilot of my flight home on Friday tried for a Double Gibbon, but missed by about 20 miles.

You are in a maze of twisty flat droves, all alike.

I googled "Marsh Gibbon" and Abraham to see if the residents were aware yet of their fame. It seems that Mr. Steve is far from the most famous Abraham there. In fact there is a Miss. Abraham who's many accomplishments include "always sitting beautifully on the carpet" and "excellent balancing and racing". Chapeau Miss Abraham, the most famous Abraham in Marsh Gibbon.

Best wishes from the Birmingham Small Arms bicycle works.



You were riding your new Raleigh down the Coventry Road,
When I saw you.
I caught you up, I pushed you off, you fell to the ground,
Then I punched you black and blue.

Now five seconds later on you got my boot in your teeth.
Grinding won’t be easy to do.
But don’t forget it’s me who caused that blood on your brow.
And I can giya flat nose too.

No, I don’t like you.
I can’t believe you’ve got the nerve to ride that bike so near me.
Oh, I don’t like you.
I really don’t like it how you make cycling look so easy.

When you run away you’ll find,
You’ve left your precious bike behind.
You’d better let me keep it or you will be sorry.

Don’t ride round here, matey.
Don’t ride round here, nohhh.
Don’t ride round here, matey.
Don’t ride round here, nohhh.

I was riding my new Raleigh down the A forty five,
That much is true,
But even then I saw you chasing over my arm,
And I easily sprinted away from you.

These eleven thousand miles have been such good times,
I still l**e you,  :-*

But even so I think I’ll ride my bike on my own.
I think that’s now what I must do.

Day 74: A scheduled visit to Humberside and a sustained period of nor'easterley winds mean that Steve remains one Gibbon short of his 40.  Kurt's visit to England AR, failed to yield any boggy simians and so William and Kurt are still neck and neck on bugger all Gibbons.  They are now 39 and 37 Gibbons respectively behind Steve on a day for day comparison.

Interesting stats, but really useful only if we know the equivalent information about Tommy Godwin and his encounters with Marsh Gibbon.

BTW I'm at home decorating this week so if it looks from the tracker that Steve will passing through MG I may nip over there to get a photo of him in transit.

Bonus points if you get one of the village signs in shot!

I wonder if Tommy ever Gibboned? I guess that there is not enough of his route info left in existance to confirm this.

Would it not be better if the entry read "An accident of geographical location has meant that Marsh Gibbon has become a locus of routes for Steve Abraham in 2015 during the One Year Time trial"

Or something?
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

+1 to adding '.... in 2015...'.

And how about  '... nexus of routes ...' rather than '...locus of routes...'? (Just a thought; locus is fine. Nexus just engenders an impression of implacable and machine-like to Steve's challenge, at least to me.)

Random thought....

.... if this was France then Marsh Gibbon (Le Gibbon du Marais?) would be declared as the permanent home of the Semaine Federale.

Two, and the possibility of a third!
It is simpler than it looks.
