Title: [HAMR] 3rd November - Teethgrinder day 307/88
Post by: red marley on 03 November, 2015, 09:29:13 am: He's off, despite a late finish earlier this morning.

Today is going to be a significant one for Steve. Good luck.

Post by: hillbilly on 03 November, 2015, 02:25:54 pm: Today is the day when he ends it above the Godwin average?

And tomorrow is another day when he starts below it.

Post by: Tim Hall on 03 November, 2015, 03:14:22 pm: Seems to be flying today - 26km/h according to the Ivan-o-matic. Does the distance/routing calculator start off hopelessly optimistic each day, getting closer to the truth as time progresses, or does Steve slow down a bit? Or both?

Post by: hillbilly on 03 November, 2015, 04:11:48 pm: Och, I need to pay attention. Today is day 88. Whilst a fortuitous number for the Chinese, it wasn't for 21st century TG.

Post by: red marley on 03 November, 2015, 05:18:27 pm: In case anyone hadn't spotted the significance of today (day 88 of his reboot), here is day 88 of Steve's first attempt (https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=89440.0). Thankfully, he's doing much better this time round and I predict he will end the day above Tommy's WR line.

Post by: Shreds on 03 November, 2015, 09:29:27 pm: Steve is off for one of his little "extra" runs, heading Northward! Will Jo's prediction become reality? Tune in later or in the morning.....

Post by: red marley on 03 November, 2015, 09:39:40 pm: It's going to be close. He's done a little less than I thought he might today given his speed, but then the SPOT tracker page has not caught the first 30 minutes of riding...

Post by: Polar Bear on 03 November, 2015, 09:46:28 pm: I read these threads most days and, though I rarely comment, I remain in total awe of Steve's tenacity and doggedness as well as his superhuman attributes. The most audacious of men. Add to these qualities that he's such a decent bloke and you have a truly exceptional man.

Roll on Steve.

Post by: Wowbagger on 04 November, 2015, 12:00:07 am: 205.67 miles, still being troubled with the gutrot. That's pretty much bang on 1 Godwin. Amazing work by Our Man.
