I bet a pound on "quite a lot of miles".

While correct, I'm not sure that it is accurate enough to get the money.

Bugger! That's what I was going to call.

Careful analysis of ytd performance and judicious use of a slightly moist digit leads me to conclude the January total will be:

Anyone else with a number ?

5,650

If I win, a further £10 to Steve's costs.

5,400.

I think Steve will have a few short days due to bad weather conditions (otherwise it would have been 5,800 which I get from anticipating roughly 300km a day for 31 days).

5450

And considering its me that will be hosting him on the last night of the month, I will put a tenner in his pocket if I win which should pay for his first lunch of February.

I reckon a sweepstake on the date and time Steve will achieve Tommy’s record.

Can I place my bet on Jan 30th?

Climberruss · « **Reply #13 on:** 21 January, 2015, 10:58:03 am »

I think the next "big" date to run a sweepstake on is the date on which Steve's daily average overtakes Tommy's. Looking at the superb graph done by Jo, it looks like that date "should" be day 121 (May 1st). I strongly suspect it will be days earlier than that.

Steve has been maintaining a remarkable average that is around 100 miles over his 87129 target. If he keeps it going for the next 7 days he'd be at 5772 for the month. I may have to adjust my entry.

Keep it up TG

No !
I think we'll close entries at close of play today for January.
Thereafter on the 20th of each month.

All OK with that?

I blame it on global warming.

Too late for this month...is that your early pitch for February?

Steve says he's only doing 150 today. In that case, you are pretty much bang on.

We'll have to wait & see. It wouldn't surprise me if he feels good and suddenly decides to throw in a 30 mile loop!

Wobbly · « **Reply #23 on:** 31 January, 2015, 02:29:40 pm »

In which case I demand another bet.

In fact I demand the ability to place my bet tomorrow!
