I dip in and out of these threads when I get chance to and am always delighted (no, really) to see forum members posting encouraging comments long after the forum frenzy of January has died down. Long may that continue
For those of us who are preparing for a lesser goal this year in the form of PBP, 200km all of a sudden seems like a fun day out whereas on pretty much every weekend in the previous 8 1/2 weeks it would have been/has been bloody hard work. In that time, Steve was pushing out 180-230
miles every day. How do you think he can do this?
Is it his riding style, his bike, the method he uses, the support of his family, the saddle he sits on, his diet or gearing? Is it his background, his lifestyle choices, his job, his background?
Or is it just because he is 'Steve'?
The man has been dreaming of undertaking this challenge for years. As far as we are aware, his plan, mileage, routes, mindset and method have been faultless to date and I have no doubt that he will complete this challenge by some margin.
