The tracker doesn't load on my office computer - so Steve is permanently cycling in a grey mist as far as my computer is concerned.  But. assuming he is fenward bound the weather forecast for March today is light rain and 10 - 15mph SW winds, so lets hope they ease off for his homeward journey.

Go Steve!

Have got the tracker to work now.  Seems that he will use the fens a lot as the fastest area in which to pick up miles.  He's criss-crossed the fens fairly thoroughly already this year, but there is a big area (excluding one suspiciously straight line that doesn't correlate with roads) around Holbeach Drove that is blank. 

Is this some sort of anti-Marsh Gibbon or OYTT Triangle into which all routes disappear?

Is it in Fenland District? I always think of dueling banjos when cycling through that area.

108 miles on the tracker at 16:05 and still heading north.  Is he going somewhere/overnighting?

The last track point was 1h40 ago. So perhaps the tracker needs a new battery.

Hopefully that's it.  I'm just getting over concerned.  Last time I saw him stop like this it wasn't good news.
Any of the team around?  Can you confirm all is well and there's just a tracker malfunction?

Clearly a tracker fail - he’s jumped about 80km in the intervening time.

And now he's backtracking southwards !!! Forgotten his sandwiches?  Looking for a host's house?

Anyway, miles in the bank . . .
