And the horizontal line represents a daily Searvogel.  :thumbsup:

I have just been chatting to a cyclist on the train who was old enough to remember Tommy Godwin's record being made.

Can't the lazy bugger clean his own bike?

Am I correct?

1 Searvogel = 208.65

If my iPhone calculator is correct 76076/365 = 208.427 or 335.3km.  Mindboggling.  Checking my records I think I've managed a Searvogel on 28 occasions, that includes 3 x PBP, LEL, Mille Miglia, Mille Alba, 2 24 hour TTs (only one of those makes a Searvogel due to the middle of the day start and finsih), and 11xSR series.  That's not even enough for a February of Searvogels this year.

I believe as per https://teammooseisloose.wordpress.com/ the correct term is a "Tarzan".

From Wackypedia.

“the name Tarzan is claimed as a trademark of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc”

They’d better check this before putting Kurt’s nickname as an ‘official’ unit of measurement.

I meant the claimants in Larrington's Burroughs vs. Heseltine case would probably be referred to Arkel vs. Pressdram, not anyone on this good forum.

He keeps his consistently fast pace despite over 75,000 miles in his legs ...

Jo, thanks for all you've done to illustrate this year's amazing athletes' efforts, and to bring it all alive.

A silver lining to today's bad news; less work for Jo, and the graphs are now a lot clearer!

Rather than dwell on what Steve hasn't achieved, I thought a bit of perspective might be helpful. He's ridden 108,000km since January 1st 2015.

Here's a map to scale:

What a wonderful visualisation. 

I know everyone else has said it, but thank you so much for all the work you have put in over the last year and a bit.  You made it so much easier for me to understand (or visualise) how the stories were unfolding. 
Every morning, sit down with coffee and read your 7 am ish post with graph and commentary.  What a ritual that became for me.

Thanks Jo.
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

The moon is 384,400 km away. It would be way off the right of your monitor at that scale.

Put another way, Steve cycled more than one quarter of the way to Luna...

Superb, jo. All we need is another Kurt, another Steve and someone to fetch the Baton from Dunnett Head and it can go to the moon. :smug:

It's okay, I've cunningly got another monitor...  I estimate that puts the moon somewhere in the vicinity of the nicklist of my IRC window, and about twice the diameter of one of the chanops' '@'s.

Another vote of thanks Jo!

I noticed earlier that http://gicentre.org/oytt/ seems to be down for me atm. Is this permanent or temporary?

Thanks!
