Has anyone done a recent schedule analysis? If I try to do it in detail I'm bound to make some schoolboy error, so I'm scared ...
BUT I think from Graham's post a few weeks back (Nov 9th?) Steve needed 203 miles-per-day = 327km-ish. Looking at https://frrt.org/tg/riders?offset=50&limit=50 I'm seeing only a couple of days over that figure, and most under 300km [and of course one day spent mucking about in ambulances etc].
So it feels like it's slippnig away Or are the frrt figures way below his "official" numbers?
I thought that, looking at the Ivanoscope.
It quotes track and route distance, I don't know the difference but taking the higher route distance it looks like Steve is averaging about 275km/170miles a day for the last couple of months.
If so, he will fall short of Tommy by a couple of thousand miles.
However, Graham's post above this one looks better informed, and it gives Steve 200 miles a day.
Easy for me to say, but it seems an odd tactic to fall short of Tommy by about four miles a day, each day.
On t'other hand, that deficit - under 300 miles - could be made up by Steve in the last few days if he does a spurt of mega miles which we know he's capable of.
It does look to me as if beating Tommy is now the only realistic target.
