Has today's route be chosen due to prevailing weather?
Good early start again. Puts me to shame when I somehow always miss my forecast start time on DIY's. Steve must have 'faffage' down to a minimum.Watching how he's going, not the tracker, does become addictive. Has today's route be chosen due to prevailing weather?
Looks like a good day weather-wise out there today, and although there's a bit of rain about in the next few days, the forecast is predicting 13dg by the weekend.

Has today's route be chosen due to prevailing weather?Was thinking that yesterday looking through his (very full!) calendar for the year. Surely going to be difficult to be quite so efficient when he's staying round someone else's and doesn't know where everything is etc?
It doesn’t matter where you start. Just start.
Has Steve got any rest days at all built into his programme?

(We're similar size, otherwise I wouldn't even attempt a comparison. And we've done long stints together on the road.)
