How is the year defined? According to Strava the attempt started on 10th January at 5:11am so his final day could be a very long one. Does Kurt ride in the dark?

Apparently Kurt is mildly nyctophobic, at least as far as matters velicipedestrian are concerned, or so I believe.

Happy Birthday Alicia!

Apologies for getting your name wrong on Christmas Day and thanks again to Zigzag for correcting me.

Kurt's (Tarzan's) miles are posted on bikejournal.com.

http://www.bikejournal.com/stat.asp?numRider=1

According to recent (spoof obv.) postings there, he is languishing in third place behind two others, the second of whom calls himself "tarzanISAFRUAD".

Obviously some folk from the bottom half of the internet are hoping for a reaction. Prats.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #2985 on:** 28 December, 2015, 01:14:02 am »

That looks like anothe 215 miles in the bag. I think that brings him to within 2000 miles of the record. Nine more lots of 225 miles will do that, with 4 days left to push it up to around the 76000 mile mark.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #2986 on:** 29 December, 2015, 12:14:17 am »

Kurt has posted another 353km - that's 220 miles give or take. 1447 to do. Looking like 4th Jan for the new record.

Doing ok.

red marley · « **Reply #2988 on:** 29 December, 2015, 09:49:51 am »

I notice he's been counting down what I assume are the RAAM checkpoint distances to mark his progress as he approaches the record. I can see that would be rewarding after the toil of nearly a year.

Martin · « **Reply #2989 on:** 30 December, 2015, 08:30:06 am »

He's escaping the hamster wheel; here last night

where is the 300k BR he's going to finish on?

orraloon · « **Reply #2990 on:** 30 December, 2015, 08:47:46 am »

He's in Florida. He is posting a countdown of remaining miles to the record in terms of virtual RAAM timestations.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #2991 on:** 30 December, 2015, 09:16:02 pm »

Kurt's website now says he has 1235 miles left in 11 days. That's about 112 miles a day. Given that he is close to 212 miles per day, then it's reasonable to assume that he will add at least 1100 miles to Tommy Godwin's total.

Closing in on TS 35 - Mississippi River - We Still have 1020 miles to go and 10 days to get there. The target is break the record in 5 days in Flatwoods Park. (Alicia won't let me leave until I break the record).

smart move, stay away from trouble

Started out with 50 miles solo before meeting up with Amanda Coker and Chris Miller before lunch. Alicia Searvogel, Phil, Kim Rowe, Rubin Randel where working it for afternoon. Amanda PR 145 miles and Alicia had a pr of 21mph average for 50 miles.

And the latest of very many, in stark comparison to Steve's attempt.

Is he nearly there yet?

Does anyone know who these people are? With the speeds/distances they're riding, I have a hard time believing they're just random riders that Kurt is latching onto.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #2998 on:** 31 December, 2015, 04:37:36 pm »

I would imagine that they are good cyclists from the UMCA or other top local cyclists.

RichForrest · « **Reply #2999 on:** 31 December, 2015, 04:52:39 pm »

Kim Rowe and Rubin Randel are fairly well known in the recumbent community over there.
A lot of these guys ride the Sebring 24hr every year over there so are great pacers and group riders.
