(Without disrespect to HRH or anyone else, I was much more excited to see Steve on the road a few months back, than I would have been to see HRH.)

I think our East Anglian contingent should be out writing on the road.

It ain't gonna last 10 minutes on the main roads he's riding round here.
If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is...

I was out last night and it seems that I passed within a few hundred metres of Steve's track (we both went through Saffron Walden, although he was there a few hours ahead of me, I think, and our tracks didn't quite cross).

There was still plenty of painted slogans on the roads I rode home on left over from last year's TdF.  It's always nice to see "Shut up Legs" on the brow of a hill.

As pointed out on Strava, Steve has now climbed about 1,000,000 feet since the start of the year. Thats a vertical climb of over 300km.

In September, he'll float past the climb figure associated with my highest AAA points total, if he maintains that average vertical pace.

(in reality he's probably passed it already, as Strava's climb figures are generally on the low side compared to contour counts and other approaches).

Kurt had some battery problems with his GPS yesterday and had to move to a backup device with dodgy elevation recording. The result is that he looks like he's just ridden down a semi-arid talus slope geomorphology diagram:
