Where will the mighty Grinder Of Teeth go today... have a safe one Steve.

Wobbly · « **Reply #1 on:** 27 January, 2015, 06:19:46 am »

Sort of heading south west ish by the look of it.

The OYTT website Calendar says Dorset, which has changed since yesterday. Planning for a tailwind tomorrow I'd say

I see that he has gone through the North West town of Great Harwood, again!

Actually Great Horwood but I can't help reading it as Harwood. Just a little Northern Humour.

JUst think of the "claim to fame" these residents will have in years to come! The blue plaque will be up "Here passed the great Teethgrinder, 253 times 2015"!

Damn....the day he decides to head for Pangbourne I'm not going to be near there! Hope he has another good day

Yes I'd say you're right. Andy H is in Dorchester area afaik (used to post on YACF regularly - perhaps we'll hear from him today?)

Well... for the first time this year I started before TG. Once a month (approximately I cycle rather than take the train in from Basingstoke). I say this not out of pride, but in amazement that Steve has been getting up at 5am every day this year and out on his bike, usually with 2 - 3 hours before daylight. Beyond imagination.

Spoke to Andy H this morning and he is on the case (and is still on here).

[EDIT] If Toofypeg is heading through Andover, Romsey and onto Blandford for tonight let Scampi know as he is looking to meet him in Romsey. [/EDIT]

'Toofypeg' love it!.

Charlie Boy · « **Reply #11 on:** 27 January, 2015, 09:48:25 am »

It's a Romsey approach is it H, not Wincanton?

I wouldn't want to pedal in the wrong direction.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #12 on:** 27 January, 2015, 09:59:22 am »

I see that the tracker tells us that Steve has now spent 15 complete days in the saddle. 360 hours. 1/24th of a year.

I may have got a little too excited.

At the moment it is not confirmed and could be either Wincanton or Romsey.

It depends on how the wind blows.

Saw Steve this morning as I was cycling into work! He was travelling in the opposite direction to me between Long Wittenham and Appleford in Oxfordshire. I gave him a quick HEY STEVE as I went past

Steve's just been past my old cricket pitch, and now he seems to have wandered into Milton Park. Is there a cafe in there? It seems an odd place to go.

Datameister · « **Reply #16 on:** 27 January, 2015, 10:55:01 am »

I suspect the lure of the Golden Arches has proven too tempting

LEE · « **Reply #17 on:** 27 January, 2015, 10:56:33 am »

Between Milton and Blandford it gets "rolling" at the very least.

Interested to see if he heads due South towards me in Andover because the Newbury/Andover Downs are distinctly in the way. The A343 smooths it out a bit but even then there are a couple of slogs along the way*

*This may apply only to normal cyclists and not Steve.

And Mr. Larrington wins! (Marsh Gibbon is the new Mornington Crescent, isn't it?)

Vince · « **Reply #19 on:** 27 January, 2015, 11:02:29 am »

He's just done a Didcot avoiding move.

I don't know what Steve had to drink in Milton but he's doing a loop-the-loop around the place now.(Or is he sending us a message by means of a tracklog?)

Edit. If Steve does manage this record then he should plot a route that spells out his name for the final day.
