Language inflation. Eventually you run out of ultra-hyper-superlatives.

I think this is the breakfast in question: -

THE UNFINISHABLE BREAKFAST £8.79
Feast on this beast of a breakfast. Served on a giant base of potato and onion hash, we've piled four juicy British pork sausages, four rashers of crispy grilled back-bacon, three fried free-range eggs, grilled tomatoes, flat mushrooms and Heinz™ baked beans. Comes with unlimited tea or coffee and toast!!

I'm not sure I could get on my bike after that, never mind set off for another 150 miles!

Pretty easy to eat that to be honest (apart from those vile mushrooms). Getting back on a bike after it though would certainly be a challenge, even to do 150 ft.

Unlimited toast sure makes it unfinishable.

Unlimited toast sure makes it unfinishable.

Challenge for Steve in 2016?

 

[Fab Foodie]

chuffin' eck .... and here's me wondering if I should do the 60 miler tomorrow or wimp out and do the mellow 30!

Just in case you were all wondering .... I went for the 60

I'd love to attempt a challenge like that one day.

The breakfast I mean, not the ride.

Oh I could really go for one of the breakfasts right now! That's the sort of fuel he needs for these nippy & windy days. All that washed down with a strong brew, perfick

299.2km today - 185.9 miles.

He's done 2189.9 miles so far this year.

To do that milage over the last two days in the winds is staggering I done 47 today and my legs still ache 6 hours later !

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

The pink shaded bit is SA's projected schedule. He's ahead of his most ambitious projection but he's less ahead after day 11 than he has been since the start. Tarzan after one day has matched TGs distance. (It's all gobsmackingness from my point of view.)

I know I'm being really thick but I'm struggling with the graph, is there a nice simple* so and so has done this much which is x more or less than the record was at the same point?

And yes I do mean more simple than a really simple graph
