Good Morning. Steve is on the road again, an earlier start and seems to be performing a Gibbon Bypass by heading due South.
216km from Marsh Gibbon

Au contraire.  The Gibbon has landed.

Allez Steve!

Its mighty windy in Central London today - so presumably even worse in the open lands of Buckinghamshire.  I'm guessing it will be hard-earned miles today.

Go Steve!

So a second Gibbon this morning and then pop up to Towcester and beyond.

But just look at Steve's average speed according to Ivan's Webby Science: 22km/h.  Has he got a spinnaker up?

He's heading east for a homestay the far side of East Anglia, I believe, so he should have a tailwind most of the afternoon and evening  :thumbsup:

Go Steve!

I reckon it's gonna be a late night / big day. He has 131 on the clock now and is near Peterborough. Lowestoft will whack some big miles on top of what he's already done.

Come on Steve. Go. Go. Go.
