There's an election?

Not for quite some time I'm afraid... oh, sorry you said "ELECTION". As you were...

Yep, we get to vote for Teethgrinder as world president. This is the announcement that will be made by Steve's team at the end of the week.

I'm currently feeling a pang of irritation every time I see that the daily Tommy Godwin mileage tweet shows a number lower than Steve would have posted if it weren't for that #bloodymopedist

I rode the Lincolnshire Cross yesterday, and the lady running the cafe that served as the control at the halfway point (Waltham Windmill) reminisced:

"There was a guy, not last year but the year before, who'd cycled all the way from Milton Keynes ....."

There was quite a lot of that sort of thing on PBP.

It occurred to me that TG's efforts really leave me struggling to understand. It could be said, then, that his efforts bugger imagination.

For those who peddle their bikes, you may want to know that the word should be "beggar" as in "beggars belief" or "beggars imagination" meaning it makes your belief or imagination poorer, leaving it behind. Saying it buggers imagination is a poor attempt at humour that I am not certain works. Oh Well.

No, that's the info control on the Tamworth 100.

Is there an equivalent rule to the UCI hour record where you must complete the lap that you are on when the hour is up to allow calculation of distance?   ;D  (Maybe "complete the day/month/year during which your 365 day period is up"  :demon: )

I notice that Steve is leading the Strava Tour de France challenge. Interesting to see the second place contender who will have to up his game if he wants to take yellow.

The second contender is actually riding the Tour de France. Would be interesting if more TdF riders participate in this challenge (a few dozen ar on strava)

Steve has a choice today.
Either put in a long day; or be picked up by East Anglia's Air Ambulance piloted by HRH William Wales.
