Under 50miles to go, cow bells cow bells allez allez ....

Kurt started at about 7am local time and should have 230+ miles done before 9pm.

Steve started closer to 9am and looks to be heading for about 200 miles, but it will be past midnight by then.

History in the making. It's been an amazing year - thanks Team Tarzan!

Congratulations to Kurt, that's a fantastic year of resilience and drive. Neat to push on and do the extra 1,000 too!

Yes, very good indeed.

Florida of course was purchased from the Spanish in the 1820s, Arkansas from the French in 1803. I do wonder if Kurt rode in any of the 13 Colonies, Georgia perhaps?

It's the thought that counts.

Well done Kurt. Nice memorable number too.

Very well done to the pair of you. Now have a day off.

Congratulations Kurt.

Brilliant stuff. I'm so pleased for both of them. Chapeaux all round!

Well done Kurt!

Congratulations to them both for an excellent partnership.

Wow what a result!

Great stuff.

Bloody awesome job.

Chapeau!

How the heck do you wind down after that?

hatler · « **Reply #3242 on:** 10 January, 2016, 09:47:50 am »

This is even more beyond my comprehension. Well done. Amazing (in the truest sense of the word).

I am so inspired after seeing Kurt hold it all together through the year, deal with injury, illness, negativity about his attempt and even not get distracted by romance with his new wife! Helps of course that Alicia seems just as driven and was as involved with the record.

I am really glad that Kurt cracked it, and, if wish him and Alicia the best for their return to normal life.....although, of course, it won't ever be truly normal after such a massive achievement

Will there be a book (I hope so!) ?

What a ride that was yesterday all up the west coast.
What an achievement, to keep motivation going day after day is quite something.
Gonna miss that tracker for a while.
Good luck.

Hummers · « **Reply #3245 on:** 10 January, 2016, 10:19:37 am »

A mind boggling achievement.

How on earth do you revert to Real Life after that?

Incredible.

As well as taking the record (and I do hope UMCA credit him with 76076 even if their calculations vary by a mile or two), Kurt is one of only three record holders to ride every day of the year (Ossie Nicholson in 1933 and Billie Dovey in 1938 being the other two).

I also hope that both Kurt and Alicia are remembered together for the record. We wouldn't be looking at a new record without the pair of them.
