That's very nice! I have had a glance at Strava to see what distances Steve has ben posting, but haven't bothered with the comments since that cretin "Adam Day" was bad-mouthing people.

Day 122 (Amanda Coker) / Day 257 (Kajsa Tylen) / Day 102 (Alicia Searvogel) / Day 13 (Steve Abraham Month Record)

The unspoken September competition between Steve and Amanda continues with Steve currently averaging 238.2 miles per day and Amanda with 238.6 miles per day over the same period. As far as Steve's month target goes he remains 58 miles ahead of his target pace.

Kajsa adds a couple more centuries and a further ride just below the 100 easing her away from Billie's summer distances. Alicia is back to riding centuries following a bit of a rough patch, but will have a little work to do to edge herself back onto her 100 mpd average.

Day 125 (Amanda Coker) / Day 260 (Kajsa Tylen) / Day 105 (Alicia Searvogel) / Day 15 (Steve Abraham Month Record)

Some big miles from all riders in the last few days. Alicia breaks through 10,000 miles with a day of 158 miles followed by a couple more century rides. Kajsa rides three more centuries taking her annual Eddington number to 99. She should reach E=100 in the next 4 or 5 days. Amanda is also a matter of a few days from taking Billie's record as she gradually eases up her daily totals, currently 240-250 mpd.

After a couple of comparatively shorter days, Steve puts in a big ride of 267 miles in the rain to bring his monthly total to 3566 miles at the half way point.

The competition between Amanda and Steve in September is proving interesting. There is no doubt that Amanda has increased her daily mileage at the same time as Steve tries for a UMCA month record. At the half way point, Steve is averaging 238.2 mpd while Amanda is at 238.6 mpd. With Steve choosing different routes depending on the changeable weather his distances are less consistent than Amanda's but he is on track to take the official record. As to who actually rides further in September, the competition remains wide open.

That's a fascinating struggle! Assuming Steve has the fuel in the tank, as it were, he might be able to launch a "sprint finish" to the month, in the knowledge that he can have a rest for a while afterwards, whereas Amanda will have to carry on for quite a few more months yet.

Yes, although Amanda has the advantage in that Steve effectively has to run the race twice. For every additional mile she rides, Steve will have to do the same both this month and next year.

she's putting the year on the shelf though should this continue,

whatever she does, if he goes again will his target be hers if she gets it, or Tommys, as it was?

What would be the point of targeting Tommy's record, since Kurt has already beaten this record? Unless Steve wants to fall into sub-categories (on a steel frame, audax-style, unsupported, in Britain, and so and so), but I don't think this is a good idea!

If I read the bottom graph correctly .. in the last 10 days .. Steve has been below daily target 7 times and on or above just 3 times. His cum average has been declining ever since the big day 1 ride .. and although still above the target average has been getting closer and closer to it. I would suggest that Steve needs good calm weather for the next fortnight to crack this record

Because Steve started with very high mileage on his first day it is inevitable that his cumulative average will regress downwards towards the mean, so that in itself is not necessarily worrying. But his rolling 4-day average has been below target in the last 8 days which means, as you say, he will have to step up a little in the coming days. He does remain above target (by 33 miles), but he has been steadily eating into the advantage he built up in the first week.

It wouldn't be at all odd to tackle a "UK" record. Conditions are so different across the globe that I think it's far more credible than "on a steel frame, audax-style, [or]  unsupported". And pretty much all sports recognise national records as well as world records.

That's purely my opinion, not based on ANY comments from Steve or his camp  :hand:

And I think he's in a different age cat to Kurt and Amanda, so he'd just be extending his own HAMR record?

When I first look at steve's graph it looks like he has had some very short days, then I look more closely on this small screen and I spot the range of the y axis starts at 180 miles!!!

Jo, could you up the font size to match that of the other graphs or does the data need the width to be interpreted properly?

Day 129 (Amanda Coker) / Day 264 (Kajsa Tylen) / Day 109 (Alicia Searvogel) / Day 19 (Steve Abraham Month Record)

Amanda is now within 30 miles of taking Billie Dovey's record following three consecutive days of 240 miles. Kajsa adds another three days of centuries and is on the cusp of an annual Eddington number of 100. Alicia, following a comparative rest day heads back to doing 100 milers. She is currently on an average of 96.4 miles per day, easily ahead of a Billie schedule but a little behind her personal target of 100 mpd.

Steve continues to alternate between longer and  (relatively) shorter days but remains just above his target average with a month average so far of 238.2 mpd.

Kajsa has certainly stepped up here game this month after a couple of quiet months; as highlighted in the Centuries Challenge. Running  in homage to the original 1911 Cycling weekly magazine competition.
Steve of course has all but put it to bed with this months amazing effort.  :o

Day 133 (Amanda Coker) / Day 268 (Kajsa Tylen) / Day 113 (Alicia Searvogel) / Day 23 (Steve Abraham Month Record)

One slightly shorter day for Kajsa as she diverts to pick up her TWC Unsung Heroine Award at the NEC, before returning to her September centuries. Amanda continues with her daily rides of largely around 240 miles pushing away from Billie's total and with Marcel Planes' 1911 record in her sights. Although slightly down on her 100mpd target Alicia makes decent progress above Billie Dovey record pace. She decides to ditch the recumbent as the cause of her knee/leg problems.



Steve has one week left on his month record attempt and currently 31 miles ahead of target with 5398 miles covered.

Steve and Amanda's progress as of 27th September:



Steve was 55 miles ahead of target by the end of the 27th. Not recorded above is the fact at midnight he was at Cambridge on his way home. He then rode another 47km, arriving home at 4am. This will get added to his total for the 28th when it is uploaded.

Day 137 (Amanda Coker) / Day 272 (Kajsa Tylen) / Day 117 (Alicia Searvogel) / Day 27 (Steve Abraham Month Record)

Kajsa continues with her streak of 100s to push her annual Eddington number to 100. Just to prove she's not a slave to the numbers she rides one day of 99.6 miles aware that she stopped just short of 100. Amanda does what she does best, pushing out another few days of 240 miles, with only one day cut a little short due to stormy weather. Alicia is currently averaging around 96 mpd with some early starts to the day on quieter roads.






After Steve's long ride via Thetford finishing at 4am he starts the next day's riding by 10am and so keeps up a good recent average of around 244 miles per day. With only 3 more days of riding left for the month record, baring mishaps he should exceed his 7000 mile target. He is currently 72 miles ahead of pace with 6372 miles ridden since 2nd September.

This continues to be completely outside my comprehension. (And I don't mean the graphs, they simply illustrate both beautifully and clearly what these people are doing, and therefore lead directly to even greater levels of incomprehension on my part.)

Steve passes the UMCA month record distance.

With one day to go, Steve passes the previous UMCA month record distance of 6680 miles held by André Goeritz. As of midnight at the end of day 29 Steve has ridden 6841 miles.

The unspoken competition between Steve and Amanda is very close. Steve's daily average of 235.9 miles compares with Amanda's of 236.1 but he has been gaining fast in the last few days. That difference represents only 6 miles over 29 days of riding. Who ends up riding further may well depend on the weather conditions faced by both riders. Storms in Florida have kept Amanda's distances a little shorter than she had been riding earlier in the month while East Anglian wind has been slowing Steve on some of his rides.

Riding 264 miles on his final day, Steve's 30 day record now complete with an (unofficial) total of 7105 miles. That's an average of 236.8 miles per day. Over the same period Amanda rode 7088 miles, averaging 236.3 mpd.
