I quite like it!  I wonder if we'll see him on the V718? 

He's tweeted that at the end of week 1 his average daily mileage is 238.

Now the 2nd is almost complete love to know total mileage covered by finish of today

If my sums are correct Steve's average per day has dropped below Amanda's. Probably not a worry just an observation possible of interest to others.

It's been a tad windy, slowing things down but Steve is confident that will change. Check out the videos on todays Strava post.

Hope Steve is OK - he seems to have been at Kings Lynn's South gate roundabout for over 4 hours  :-\

Maybe he fell asleep after a meal at the Gatehouse 'Hungry Horse' pub...

Looks like he decided to ride through the night towards Great Yarmouth.

He's a cunning one. He needs 425km today after yesterday's low total. 140 up already and he's perfectly placed for a 230km run home with a stonking tailwind. Bit more looping on the coast while the wind builds?

There's a travellodge where he stopped yesterday for 8 hours. Today at the current rate of progress he'll be home by 18:00 with about 370 km done in 15 hours.  He still needs to make up for yesterday's short distance but 8 & 15 are roughly normal durations for Steve.

An early, rapid (wind-assisted) start south-westard this morning. 40kph ave between 5:30 and 6:30, and 30kph ave since then, if I'm reading it right.

The 40 kph bits are due to glitches in the route matching over estimating the distance travelled. There are three odd tracker points behind two unlikely diversions in the pink line. No idea why the pink line diverted through Tingewick.

I've flagged a couple of these rogue points as invalid so they are no longer used for routing calculations.

-------------------------------------------------

Many thanks for this link as I couldn't wait!

2015.  Steve had 3 distant plans.  75065 at 206 per day
82835 at 217 pd and 87129 at 238 pd
Neither of those were never going to be achieved and sadly the lower one neither . However with 4779 mls approx covered in 3 wks 82836 is a possible maximum but certainly 75065 should be taken all being well.  In March 2015 in the 27 days before he was Moppeded he covered 5542 mls.  This month will hopefully be 6372 approx.
Thanks to all who keep the distances posted.

That's from the UMCA website but it's 10 days out of date.

3880 miles including 20/3/17 (16 days). That's 242.5 miles per day.
