Certainly hope all is well.

He may have been in 'the saddle' since last night, this was his last track point from yesterday ....


Allez Steve !

Spotted on Twitter earlier that he's planning laps of the MK Bowl...?

Wow, now that does surprise me! Hope he can get some good miles in! Hopefully this means he's ok at least...

Wonder how he got back there?

Is this a tactical decision to never be out of sprinting range of a decent loo?   :-\

If so, he's having to spend a long while in them...

Edit: and now he's off again after a 35minute break. I guess he's still feeling pretty rough.

That could just be the tracker?   I seem to remember it being next to useless for following live progress when he was there on the recumbent.

The tracker should still log points when he's moving (so you can infer longer stoppages).  They just won't be any use for inferring distance travelled.

The tracker is going to be of little use today. It seems Steve could do a lap or more between track points.
Have to wait for the Strava upload tonight.

OMG so has Steve been reading what the armchair experts have been proposing for days about doing loops?  I just hope that by changing strategy mid flow like TG did, can make a difference and prove the doom merchants wrong. Inevitably with Kurt on the cusp of taking the record, was always going to be a difficult time especially with the bar being raised at the same time.

It's not that long ago that Kurt was having health scares followed by being stuck by adverse winds and rain. I am sure Steve has the fortitude to pull through this and make the remaining eight months or so count big time.

When you gotta go...

Probably good that we didn't use the normal:

"Go Steve!"

too much today.  ;)
