He's off.  Much earlier than yesterday, I hope thats indicative of an improvement in his health.

Go Steve!

Current stop is way too long for a feed.  Is he having a sleep?
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

I don't know, but he has now uploaded both yesterday's (226km) and today's (187km) riding to Strava, so perhaps he's calling it a day. Or perhaps going for a night ride later?

Still suffering from intestinal issues and tiredness it seems.

He has been in Tesco Express (Cirencester) for quite a long time. That's OK - it's a 24 hour Tesco. Perhaps he has met HRH and is having a long chat about the effects of beluga caviare on distance cycling.

Hopefully all is well. I'm 10 miles down the road if needed.

Steve has been stopped for a very long time in a place where he has no reason to stay at for that long.

Not sure what's happened to his Strava posting. I thought earlier this evening he had uploaded today's riding down to Cirencester (which was an unusually early finish and upload for him). It now appears as a 'workout' on Strava without any map data.

Another short day, if so.

Yep. Ride info talks of emergency toilet breaks and needing to catch up on sleep. So I expect he stopped early.

Whatever is causing him distress has been doing so for weeks now.

I hope whatever it is clears up soon. If it doesn't then the chances of a success reduce to such an extent that the motivation to continue riding after the end of the year will be in doubt.
All the best Steve!
