I currently have Kurt at 74815.7 miles at the end of 03/01/2016 , putting him 249.3 behind Tommy's 75065 miles. See https://goo.gl/RBHtiS for details.

That's based on UMCA data to 08/12/2015, and Strava data since then. The UMCA has been losing about .2 of a mile a day for the Strava distances.

I'd be interested to see exactly where the difference is though.

Is he nearly there yet?

Citizenfish · « **Reply #3052 on:** 04 January, 2016, 05:34:52 pm »

60 - 70 miles to go?

He seems to be taking a break at 75 tracker miles. Whilst he has been on the hamster wheel the tracker has recorded only about 75% of what has later turned up on Strava, so I would guess that he is currently taking a breather at the 100 mile mark. OK, today he has a planned short day with a party, so I reckon another couple of hours' cycling should see him in the pub.

He posted '...52 to go ...' on F'book one hour ago, so about 30 now, thus likely to cross the virtual line at about 1915 UK time.

Expectant anticipation coupled with admiration ...

I thought he'd reached the target yesterday. The HAMR spreadsheet I've been checking showed 75079.3 after 03/01/16 - am I missing domething? http://ultracycling.com/sections/records/data/hamr/spreadsheet.php

Congratulations to Kurt anyway.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #3057 on:** 04 January, 2016, 06:21:26 pm »

I thought that. Someone upthread reckons that there's an ineligible 160 miles or so showing on the HAMR website.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #3058 on:** 04 January, 2016, 06:23:44 pm »

Once the tracker is over 105 miles I reckon he's there. It's showing 89 miles so far. Lap of honour of 8 miles gives him another 23 or so to do.

Citizenfish · « **Reply #3059 on:** 04 January, 2016, 06:40:42 pm »

Just imagine how great this must feel for the two of them after such a long journey. I never cease to be in awe of anyone who takes/took this on and sacrifices a year to it.

A quick glance at: http://ultracycling.com/sections/records/data/hamr/spreadsheet.php shows:-

28/02 you have Kurt doing 215.8 miles, UMCA has him doing 178.2
11/03 you have 176.3, UMCA has 186.7
12/03 you have 169.3, UMCA has 170.5
13/03 you have 99.7, UMCA has 79.3

I'm sure there's more than those (I stopped as I wasn't going to check the entire thing).

P.S. Thanks for the hard work on that spreadsheet, it's very useful!

He's paused - just having a routine break or is this to celebrate breaking the record?!

Tewdric · « **Reply #3062 on:** 04 January, 2016, 08:05:29 pm »

He has 4 miles to go....

Charlie Boy · « **Reply #3063 on:** 04 January, 2016, 08:24:39 pm »

Steve has posted a comment on his facebook page congratulating Tarzan on taking the record.

Tewdric · « **Reply #3064 on:** 04 January, 2016, 08:30:15 pm »

Yup the tape breaking vid has just been posted on faceache.

Many congratulations Kurt and team!

It is a fitting gesture that Steve is the first to congratulate Kurt - only Steve knows....

Well done to Kurt and Alicia - they have had their share of setbacks but remained focused and positive - a great achievement!
