Don't be silly Psychler, a ship isn't a broom!

Sorry, I meant the Broom of Theseus. Or is it Trigger's ship!

He's not avoiding the hills then: https://www.strava.com/activities/460434163

GO BRUCE!

it seems a bit reckless for someone who's twice abandoned a LEJOGLE record attempt with knee trouble.

What counts as a "single bike" under Guinness rules? I can see scope for the proverbial axe of my grandfather here.

Trigger's broom I think you mean.

No, if I'd meant "Trigger's Broom" i wouldn't have written "the proverbial axe of my grandfather"

What if it is a minesweeper?

And for someone attempting a distance record. He will go further if he can find a flatter course.

Solid start for Bruce. I am looking forward to making many Bruce based puns over the next 12 months.

Keeeeep dancing, on the pedals.

That's a nice Brucie bonus over a standard Godwin.

A bit confusing why he insists on so much climbing. Very impressive though!

TimC · « **Reply #109 on:** 02 January, 2016, 11:18:42 am »

I guess he enjoys it - and, looking at the map, it seems there aren't that many options for getting out of the city without climbing. But I suspect tactics will evolve as the year progresses.

Maybe he spent all year reading Strava and forum comments and decided to put that argument to bed from the start ?

A good solid start

LittleWheelsandBig · « **Reply #112 on:** 02 January, 2016, 11:51:44 am »

An impressively strong challenger.

Freya · « **Reply #113 on:** 02 January, 2016, 11:52:51 am »

Crumbs! If he keeps this up it will be a pretty awesome effort.

Canardly · « **Reply #114 on:** 02 January, 2016, 11:53:14 am »

I hope he gets a clear run at it with no incidents.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #115 on:** 02 January, 2016, 09:09:32 pm »

Blimey! That's 212 miles in 11 1/4 hours' moving time. Apart from when he was in Sebring, did Kurt manage a day as fast as that?

zigzag · « **Reply #116 on:** 02 January, 2016, 09:31:33 pm »

it's great to be able to see his power output, although would be interesting to know the heart rate too. he's clearly a strong rider and i also wish him great mental strength in this challenge as well as very best of luck.

GO BRUCE!!!

Clemo · « **Reply #117 on:** 02 January, 2016, 10:49:13 pm »

Lets hope we havent started off too fast, I'm sure he knows what hes doing.

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #118 on:** 02 January, 2016, 11:44:35 pm »

That sounds awfully familiar...

rabbit · « **Reply #119 on:** 03 January, 2016, 09:41:58 am »

This is exciting!

Clemo · « **Reply #120 on:** 03 January, 2016, 11:13:21 am »

Day 3 and another 214.5mile

Clemo · « **Reply #121 on:** 04 January, 2016, 08:44:11 am »

No Strava upload for yesterday $:-\$

Edit: I refreshed the page and another 209.5 miles was done on day 4

Jack_P · « **Reply #122 on:** 04 January, 2016, 09:45:16 am »

I wonder how long it will be before Bruce has an official HAMR page. Surely that's a big part of your $300 worth at least.

I have been looking at some of the posts from this time last year and you are quite right,

zigzag · « **Reply #124 on:** 04 January, 2016, 03:58:11 pm »

is Bruce managing his "non-cycling life" himself or there's anyone to assist?
