Alicia and Kurt make a great team, I think. Their constant good humour and gentle ribbing of each other is a delight, and makes light of what is, by any human standard, an incredible challenge. I really, really hope Kurt can make it through the rest of the year without the kind of upsets that Steve and Miles have suffered.
Too late - Kurt has already had a bout of serious illness.
I'm aware of the lump issue which forced him into riding the 'bent for a few days, but he only lost a couple of days' full-distance efforts as far as I knew. Was there something else?

He rode through it, was multiple days of vomiting and diarrhoea.

Yes, I remember now you mention it. Nasty, but perhaps not as debilitating as a broken ankle or collapsed lung! Let's hope he gets no worse in the remaining 7 months.

Kurt reports Little Rock getting too hot. Now he's done the Tour Du Rock, he's heading North for more temperate climes.

How to end your OYTT attempt early (don't worry, no harm done):

Tour du Rock (see 4m:05s)

I spotted that on the vid. If he keeps pulling stunts like that, he can forget the OYTT, he will be pushing up roses! Dangerous manoeuvre.

Maybe his earlier collisions weren't such a coincidence after all.

I saw on his Faceplant page that he did 213 miles yesterday but owing to problems uploading he only had 75 $:-\$ Shirley as his progress was shown on Trackleaders it ought to get honoured?

Nothing on Tarzan for over a week?

doesn't look like it $:-\$

I'm following him on Facebook via his regular daily update which is very informative;

He's heading up the W shore (although I believe they call it the W shore that's next to MI over there) of lake Michigan, hopefully he'll be in the Yoopee (as they refer to MI's Upper Peninsula) soon; a fantastic place to cycle as long as it's not bear season

I just avoided that 2 years ago He can probably stay around there until October.

I'm been on holiday and he is still clocking out 230+ a day with a smile on his face

For those not following Kurt on Facebook, he's had a lot of trouble with flooded roads. Been restricted as to route choice, having to do loopy days sometimes. Spirits are definitely up, quite a change from the low point of a few weeks ago.

mcshroom · « **Reply #2389 on:** 23 June, 2015, 10:56:34 am »

He's getting incredibly close to catching up with the required rate too

Climberruss · « **Reply #2390 on:** 23 June, 2015, 12:13:49 pm »

His consistency is amazing.

As per Jo's ever informative thread, Kurt is now above the Godwin Pace Line.

I think that deserves as woohoo. So. Woohoo.

Must be a huge milestone (kilometerstone ?) for him. No longer working to close a gap, hes working to open it.

Major, major kudos.

("Major" doubled because even putting in a credible attempt at a record like this is worth major kudos)
